I’ve been agonizing over what to do with the 2 garden beds my husband created in our front yard when he completed interlocking the driveway. The other day I happened to notice House & Garden’s YouTube account had posted a new video of the rented home of British designer Flora Soames. I love her style and her pattern and colour filled home, but it was her garden that had me really swooning. Her pool became a pond, and around it is the most incredible floral cutting garden. Then it hit me. If I can’t figure out what to do in my front yard, particularly with the 20′ long x 12′ (ish) bed, why not just fill it to the brim with flowers! (I generally don’t plant anything that flowers, I am weird like that). So due to this enlightenment I figured I would share some photos from that feature on Flora in House & Garden (first 4, photographed by Simon Upton) and some from random projects in her portfolio.
















This Greenwich, CT historic home has EvErYtHiNg. Drama and grandeur as soon as you walk through the front door, eye-popping colours, patterns and textures, and such incredible attention to detail that every room requires careful inspection such that nothing is missed. A masterpiece designed by Shazalynn Cavin-Winfrey of SCW Interiors.























I love this home! Eclectic with a bit of a traditional vibe mixed with cottage casual chicness. Such pretty and soothing colours. Designed by Meredith Kleinman.










WOW!!! Walking into the Harlem apartment of designer Courtney McLeod (of Right Meets Left Interior Design) must have everyone immediately grinning from ear to ear. This is BOLD and DRAMATIC and SO MUCH FUN! That saturated blue, mixed with orange and pink (and subtle red and green) is a quirky combination that works so beautifully. And a more calming bedroom with a stunning wallpaper adds sophistication. (Check out more of Courtney’s work here)

This apartment in Milan (of fashion designer Federica Vieros) has many elements that really speak to me so I had to share. Swoon-worthy architecture, unique colour and wallpaper choices, and a covetable collection of vintage lighting, furnishings and accessories make this home absolutely delightful. Via sköna hem.
