BOXWOODS

Thursday....Crikey...where did Tuesday go?

Holy Cow...days are turning into hours.  Not that it is your problem but I feel like a waitress who's station is full and the cook just quit.

Deep Breath....

I have posted before about Boxwoods....one of my favorite stores in my hood.  Started by Dan Belman and Randy Korando they have now expanded from a mainly garden shop to include furniture and home decor.  

It is full on eye candy when you go.

No lie.

Table is set and ready for guest.  That reminds me of my friend Maria.  I haven't thrown her under the bus in a while.....so let me get at it.  It must be a southern thing...but she keeps her DR table set.
  
All the time.  

In the beginning of our friendship I was always asking her if she was expecting company.  Now I just have a smart comment when I go over....like..."look at the dust on those plates".......she will come running in and try to "bow" up on me.  Silly girl.  


If my table was always set then I would have no place to fold my clothes.  Just saying.

Love and want.  Digging the color of the walls.

Check out how they painted a panel on the wall...

I like the color of that mantel.....I mean how pretty are greens and blues together...in all shades.

Green, white and brown....I am getting some inspiration here...

Monogramed pillows....

Why is it so hard to keep plants alive?  They make a vignette look so pretty.  Love the layering here.

This is what I need...greenery but dead already.

Love the table...

Pictures from their greenhouse....

Come to me pretty white hydrangea....

Then outside more plants and containers.

Why is gray so dang pretty????  And with green.  Gray...I can't quit you.

Just a simple fern in a white pot.  Does not get more classic than that.

Like this arrangement in a vintage fishing basket.

Here is a picture of Randy and Dan at their home in Madison, Georgia.  It was featured in Traditional Home a few years ago.  Looky there...they have a sheepdog! As you all know I have 2!!!

Here are a few photos from that article.  They were taken by Colleen Duffley.  The article was produced by my good friend Lisa Mowry.

Oh oh...another picture of their dog....:) Loving the brick floors.

The kitchen...pretty cool huh...

I think this was the cover picture....Love this porch.

Here is the other end of the porch....oh gosh....the dog again.....
You can go here to see more pictures.

Last night my husband [just me]  were flipping through the channels looking for something to watch.  I stopped on The X Factor..... because I wanted to see if Britany  Spears was gonna be meaner than Simon.  At least that is what the clips were insinuating.


I kept looking at her face and something did not look right.  I mean she is only 30 years old so I knew it wasn't a face lift.  After about 30 minutes I blurted out "her eyebrows!"  My husband looked up from his iphone [playing words with friends probably]  like maybe I had said something important and he might get tested later.  

I said "look at her eyebrows.....she forgot to pencil them in"....he is still looking at me and seeing my lips moving but clearly confused.

I went on for about 10 minutes trying to show him that she looked weird....he then said "who is she?".....clearly we are on different fields here.

Anyway the point is....I know they have makeup artist so what happened there?  Anyone else notice?
