Seeding with a Muse

When it reaches 70 in MN, we all bloom smiles

+ time for leisure outside!

Coming home from work with my sunroof open

leaded my foot on the gas pedal!

I knew just what I was going to do when I got home...

                    1.  Very house-broke Lawn Chair

                    2.  Very broken-in pair of Jeans

                    3.  Wine + bread / oil / parmesan / cracked pepper

and Whuallah~

My Tuscan Eve

in the yard.



(not my "californian" vineyard of a yard)



Needless to say, I could only sit still & bask for about

20min

Soon - I was rummaging for my trusty tapemeasure

and spec'ing out our existing porch facade...

Here's what she currently looks like:

Now, for the Muse

(someday i'll find the time to draw my new plan)

---Now, (wipe my drool)

SUBTRACT: 

Pool

Columns

Right-Wing Portico

Impresive 2-story Height

TRANSFER:

Oversized Door Lantern

Shutters

*Symmetry*

Sidewalk Pedestal w.Statue

!!!

-Other Symmetrical Food for Thought-

These are much more French, than the Georgian Neo-Classic Muse

..but I simply cannot resist the

chalky-blue shutters

topiaries

& pea-gravel walkways

..definitely more budget appropriate..

A little too messy with plants, but I adore the circumfranced pedestal!

 

the Low* Horizontal lines of this front yard are very mod-chic!

OUT with the "Stuffy" -- IN w.the Freshly Tailored

 

SYMMETRY + LIGHTING

are a Surefire way to achieve a stately approach!

Window Fences,

Very Romeo & Juliet?

They are a forgotten touch of detail

that can add just the right amount of British Posh

..to polish off your finale

Informal Dining

alongside the house 

or

backyard

to balance the earnestness of the front entrance

~ A girl can dream! (& Plot)
