Garden

Isn't this a gorgeous space?  The designer Pamela Shamshiri gives a nice interview to House Beautiful regarding the design.  I love this excerpt and her approach.   I dream of a space like this.  Perfect for a cocktail party, a quiet dinner or just a book.  Ahhh....

HB: You've taken the sharp edge off modernism.
Modernism can be harsh and unnatural. Get pieces where you have the sense of the person who made it. That makes it more special. It will age well and live with you and become part of your collected life. You don't throw it out next year. And you're calm and relaxed, because everything feels right and nothing is too precious. I like that in spaces. It makes our clients feel like they can grow with their house and add to it. Everything is unfinished. The wood continues to age. The floor changes every day. There's something incomplete and yet complete about it.
HB: That kind of describes life, doesn't it?
I guess it does.
