Design Inspiration... Spring

Spring is definitely here, which means nature is stirring around us.  The plants are blooming, bees are buzzing, turtles are hatching and my favorite... longer days. 
We use nature in many of our design decisions whether it is a beautiful centerpiece or a gorgeous piece of artwork.


 These Beehives are authentic and were used by beekeepers at one time. 

There is nothing like placing an orchid in a glass vase.  Not only does it create a unique centerpiece, but it also protects the orchid.


These orchids are framed by Christopher Marley of Form and Pheromone, and can be found in our retail store. 

            I love this painting by one of our local artist Steve Wagner. 
                  
Speaking of Spring, last week we had some special visitors in the store with us!
                                             Slider Turtles  
These turtles just hatched and ended up in one of the pools near by.  They are now safe and sound at a local Turtle Farm, but the turtles made me think of this needlepoint rug.

We see nature in almost all aspects of our work.  Look around and see what elements of nature inspire you!


Have a great weekend, and stop by and say hello- Gracie would love to see you!
