The Bold Dry Garden ~ Lessons from the Ruth Bancroft Garden ~ by Johanna Silver

This book is a wonderful reference guide for California gardens & gardeners.

My only wish … I would have liked to see more pictures showing combinations of textures, colors, and groupings that are aesthetically pleasing to the eye for use in my plantings.  I guess I will need to make a roadtrip …

LA Fabric & Fashion District

Look what I found in my travels to LA this past week!

Wallpaper ~ a pop of wow!

Add a wallpaper mural to a room rather than paint

to add interest & drama!

Tip #1 ~ when ordering the mural, add 5″ to the length and 5″ width to allow for walls that are not exactly straight.

Tip #2 ~ prior to installation, paint the wall with 2 coats of primer so that white areas in the mural are true to color.
