Mosaic Monday: Garden Furniture/Bunny Williams



Well, I promised (or threatened) to show you more photos from our weekend in Connecticut, so here they come.

Have you all done your homework on Bunny Williams since Friday's post? Because I have a lot more photos from her garden for you today. Miss Williams and her husband, antiques dealer John Roselli, have a shop called Treillage, where they sell beautiful architectural elements, decorative accessories, and garden furniture.

They have obviously collected a lot of antique garden accessories for their own home as well. There are such beautiful and stylish spaces to sit and enjoy the garden. I loved the patio set on the crazy paving, with moss between the stones. I also adored the potted ferns displayed on the black table, with an iron tree and white oval mirror behind -- such a pretty vignette. And the gorgeous faux bois table, with iron chairs and bench look so lovely against that white picket fence.

Bunny Williams' book, An Affair With a House, is my all-time favorite decorating book. The interiors are filled with beautiful antiques and comfortable chairs and sofas. It is not a showplace, but a real home -- where the dogs are allowed on the furniture. There is a fireplace in the kitchen. I have always wanted a fireplace in the kitchen! :)

Now let's have some mosaic fun! Here are the instructions:
1. Publish your Mosaic Monday post. The post may be about any subject you wish. The only stipulation is that it include a collage, or mosaic of photos.
2. Once it is published, click on the title of the post. This will lead you to the static link for your post. The static link is the page with only that post on it. Copy the url from your browser at the top of the page.
3. Paste the url into the appropriate inlinkz box in this post.
4. Type your name in the appropriate inlinkz box in this post.
5. Click on "Enter."
6. Please link back to this Mosaic Monday post so that your readers can find other wonderful mosaics.
That's all there is to it! It's always a good idea to then check and see if your link is working. If you have any questions, feel free to email me: mrcarroll(at)optonline

And a quick reminder: if you would like to join Mosaic Monday but don't know quite where to start, there is a tutorial on mosaic-making on my sidebar. Just scroll down, and click on the small blue mosaic.

  6. Hi Mary
    There are some unique pieces of garden furniture with beautiful gardens around them.
    A fireplace in the kitchen sounds good to me too.

  10. Oh wow. What a spectacular garden. So you went once and did you go to the yard sale? Prolly not. Or maybe there's another trick up your sleeve. I like the table that looks like a tree trunk and all those ferns and ivys on the table. (I also like that there's moss growing on the chair.)
