"Some people like to look at gardens, I like to live them." Marella Agnelli.
Conservatories, garden rooms, sun porches.....these are our favorite rooms to design and admire. Plants and flowers thrive among open windows, plenty of light, wicker, floors of tile, painted wood and sisal, along with beautiful planters and garden objets. We call it Gardening Chic! As we prepare for our booth at the Ladew Garden Festival on May 6, here are the garden rooms and their contents that inspire us. (Photo credits when found are noted.)
