FRANK WEBB ~ DESIGN IN NEW YORK

Frank Webb, partner Steven Schroko, architect Eric Gartner, and landscape architect Mario Nievera designed and renovated this New York apartment in the historic Stanford White building.  The apartment will serve as a second home for Webb, who resides in a country home an hour and a half away.

Webb waned a casual, traditional, and chic home.  While the home has an industrial feel with clean lines, it is also warm.  ENJOY!

It is hot at the beach, friends!  Guess it is hot everywhere.  Where are you Winter?
Be back full force later next week!

KIM WINKLER ~ DESIGN IN ATLANTA

When newlyweds Kim Winkler and husband Brad bought a historic home in Whittier Mill Village in Atlanta, Kim, who is an interior designer, painted the home with warm and cozy colors. She painted the molding, baseboards and doors in darker colors as well.

The home is not all dark and rustic. Kim has added elegant pieces around the home, including crystal decanters and monogrammed bedding. Winkler used camel-back sofas to dress up the living room. ENJOY!

MATTHEW WILSON ~ GARDEN DESIGN IN SUSSEX

Matthew Wilson designed Dry Garden at Hyde Hall in Essex in 2000 to showcase species that survive in drought-prone areas. This area in Essex has less that 600mm of rain per year.

The ground was worked into mounds and terraces using builders' rubble and local clay. The garden was created around a hard landscaping of gravel, huge glacial rock, and drystone walls. Grit and stone washed pebble was added.

At this point Wilson let the seeds land as they may, believing that the flowers would grow where they wanted to, balancing out the garden. He noticed that the outcome resulted in stronger plants that were growing in a more naturalistic way.

Wilson planted Verbascum bombyciferum, Perovski, achillea, and wself-seeded Eryngium planum. A Stipa tenuissima were hugging rocks, and larger plants such as yuka, palms and conifers grew in the background. Wilson admits that it took two years for the garden to become self-supporting.

Wilson is director of Clifton Nurseries in Little Venice, west London, a historic garden. ENJOY!
