Summer Style Contest Entry: The Slate Garden Gallery Goes *POP*
This is my entry into CasaSugar's Summer Style Contest packaged as a brief tour of this summer's major outdoor project: reclaiming our patio and refreshing our garden. This project was officially launched on May 24, 2008 at 10 AM and concluded today, July 20, 2008 at 2:37 PMMy husband, being an avid collector of antiques, is primarily responsible for acquiring the eclectic mix of mid-century pieces that are featured in the space. It was my goal, as the designer, to refurbish, reclaim, reuse and repurpose many of these items in order to create a warm and welcoming space with a unique personality.As the project developed it began to take on the feel of a gallery and I installed 7 unique pieces of my original artwork, prepped for permanent outdoor display, that are now part of the garden scenery.
