Antiques For Your Garden
On a recent Trip to a Los Angeles antique dealer… I found some great things for my garden. I actually wanted to move in. I simply loved everything in this antique store and garden. See what I found and how I displayed it in my garden.
These shutters are amazing… don’t you love the worn finish of the wood, the greyish tones?
I love these olive jars… they would be just right for a client’s garden.
The owner offered to give me this for free, because it was chipped… I have just the place to use it!
I have a great use for this beauty too!
These may look in sad shape… but I am very excited to get them home to work into my garden design!
Back at home after antiquing… I find the perfect spot for the shutters to be placed in my garden.
Now they need some detail in front
Something to balance this lovely statue…
Mmmm… what else to add? This is so much fun for me! Shopping in the morning, designing my garden in the afternoon… a perfect Sunday!
Theodora at Living Green Design Solutions posted a link to your blog on her Facebook page, so that’s how I found you. Recently I did a blog post about antiques in the garden (!) and thought you might like to check it out. I love the way you show the development of your idea. Here’s my post link: http://genosgarden.blogspot.com/2010/06/about-town-with-genos-garden-antiques.html
It was so much fun shopping with you that day. They really do have so many amazing things. The garden and outdoor spaces have turned out AMAZING. I love what you have done. The pieces you selected look like they were meant for the yard. Enjoy!!!
I had a blast too Carrie. You and I always have the best time on our Los Angeles outings! Thanks for helping me find the perfect shutters for the garden!
Hi Jeannie,

I love your blog… beautiful images… we’d have fun shopping together! Do you have great flea markets in the Sacramento area?
