I am thrilled to showcase the stunning book, Patina Farmwritten by fellow blogger, author of the blog Velvet and Linen,shop owner, and interior designer Brooke Giannetti, and her husband,world renowned architect Steve Giannetti.

I have always admired the work of these two design geniuses.  Their use of antique pieces, plaster, neutral and pastel colors, reclaimed wood, and clean steel and glass is beautiful and refreshing, and I certainly can't leave out the lush gardens, chickens, donkeys, and goats. 

Below are just a few of the 150 pages of images and sketches in the book.  ENJOY!

THIS BLEW MY MIND!


While browsing Veranda.com, I came across this spectacular flower garden. I had to share!

The first Brussels Flower Carpet was created in 1971. Every two years since 1986, this 19,375-square-foot garden made up of 700,000 intricately arranged begonias has been shared. ENJOY!


The next show is August 12-15 in the Grand Place.
