Just because you live in a tiny apartment or don’t have a glut of green space doesn’t mean you need to miss out on the magic of gorgeous green finger living. Here are our favorite indoor garden ideas and how to grow plants inside.
Chip and Joanna transform a stuck-in-the-70s suburban home -- with an oddball front atrium -- into a visually stunning showplace with an indoor herb garden.
One day, when you win the lottery, you can have all of them. Le sigh.
These homes take house plants to the next level.

It looks as if Spring is finally here. That dreaded time of year when the first brilliant shaft of sunlight pierces through the murky windows and illuminates a winter long accumulation of dust, grime, crumbs and other décor related blasphemies that have amassed over the winter months. It would appear that the resident spiders have been busy building gossamer castles in our chandelier and attaching diaphanous puppet strings to our collection of Art Nouveau statues. The statues themselves seem rather pleased (as they are usually too lazy to get up and do anything themselves, preferring to just sit around looking waifish and pretty…UPPITY BITCHES…) As for the chandelier, it seems to resent the intrusion and has developed the unladylike habit of scratching itself in public… Now when we moved into our current residence we vowed to keep it as pristine as the wind driven snow. HA! This is not an easy task when various factors are constantly at work against us. Firstly, as artists and designers we tend to produce a rather large quantity of dust, threads and metal shards not to mention multitudes of fabric scraps in every imaginable shape and color. Secondly, half the furnishings that we have dragged home and installed here are filthy and biodegrading to begin with. When these oddities are then mingled with our assortment of moldering textiles, it creates a toxic squall that hovers over our dwelling like a baroque thunderstorm, raining down bits of tinsel, gilding and the occasional bullion tassel… All in all we manage to keep things fairly clean (at least that is what we like to tell people…) as long as no one looks under the sofa or behind the drapes. Truth be told, without Seraph and his never ending supply of lint rollers (not to mention his pet vacuum cleaner named Skippy) the place would go to HELL IN A HAND BASKET rather quickly. (Now the concept of going to hell in a hand basket has always been quite appealing especially if the basket included a mini bar and a fluffy pillow to rest ones head on during the journey…hmmm…but that is besides that point.) Another thing that we like to tell people is that the portieres in our kitchen add height and bring drama to the room. HA! Actually they are primarily used to hide crumbs the size of croutons and some delinquent Cheerios among their lower tassels. If worse came to worse we could probably live for a week on what has fallen back there over the years. Needless to say Splendor’s overall standards of cleanliness are rather lower than Seraph’s and she has a notorious reputation of being rather messy in the kitchen. She is only trusted with flour under adult supervision and has been known to put sticky jars of peanut butter in back in the fridge. There is really no need to bring up the infamous incident with a bottle of coleslaw dressing that somehow exploded covering not only the entire kitchen but the parlor carpet in a gooey mess. (OK, OK it is probably a deserving punishment for eating such WHITE TRASH CRAP like Kraft salad dressing in the first place…lesson learned…hope no one finds out about the occasional cravings for Stove Top stuffing and diet root beer…damn…) May this lovely section of ephemeral flora remind one that Spring is indeed upon us…HAPPY CLEANING, dear ones…enjoy! You freeze to death in morning mist.. Great vast landscapes, frostbitten woodlands... Frozen thunder, hellish blizzard storms Here snow will always fall... black majestic winter magic The evil frozen moonlit nights ("The Frostbitten Woodlands” by Carpathian Forest)

Hello dear friends! I can not believe that today is the first day of autumn already!! Well, over here it is autumn and officially my favourite season... It is a balmy beautiful evening in Cape Town and a cascading starry sky hangs above us! Totally gorgeous. As I was on my way home from a service for the World Wide Day of Prayer for Women I was wondering what I am going to blog about and then I checked into my blog and my eye fell on this beautiful conservatory...and voila! I was on a mission.... The conservatory above is my favourite of all time! It is also from one of my favourite houses ever... Henk and Monika Smith's amazing home, of which I can never get enough! So, then I found a few more that grabbed my fancy... This image is quite amazing... you can quickly bend down and retrieve your jaw from the ground! It's like a dream, isn't it? I could not find the correct photo credit and it just said Winter Palace . Does anyone know? Anyway, I could do a great deal of daydream believing in there!!! It's like a movie set for a romantic scene and ..well...let your imagination go... a proposal perhaps? These beauties are at Schonbrunn Palace Vienna. Love the shape and can you just imagine the treasures they hold? Everything we need is here... beautiful shapes, a chandy, an elegant bench, a water feature and one of my favourite tree ferns...perfect! Is it just me or does a conservatory hold a sense of mystique for you as well? Just the place to while away a lazy Sunday.... The architectural detail on conservatories are always beguling. I think its time to take a look at some daybeds for another post. I bet you all have a favourite lurking in your wish list closet! Enchanting... On Monday I will introduce another wonderful blog in my Blog it Forward Series and on Tuesday is our monthly international Bloggers post for "By Invitation Only" and this time I will be taking you on a tour of my wonderful city of Cape Town! Have a fab Friday Live well Veronica xxx Images ~ Pinteres and House and Leisure

Biltmore House Asheville, North Carolina the entryway to Biltmore Biltmore House is a commercial enterprise that welcomes more than 1 million visitors a year. this is the 1st glimse one sees of the amazingly spectacular Vanderbilt mansion set in the hills of North Carolina I had driven myself from Winston-Salem, where I was working on a design project, through the rolling hills in this beautiful state. Through the Smokey Mountains, and into a large parking area completely surrounded by forests. Walking toward the house, the surrounding landscape hinted of vast forests and distant rivers — 8,000 acres in all. I rounded a corner, and this vast estate came into view. It was like looking at the Grand Canyon for the 1st time. Your breath is completely taken away by the sheer size of the "house." The estate includes River Bend Farm with an assortment of goats, chickens, and horses roaming freely in the barnyard; an award-winning winery; a deer park; a river for rafting; winding drives; and the 213-room four-star Inn on Biltmore Estate. As a young man of 25, Vanderbilt chose this locale in the Blue Ridge Mountains in Asheville, North Carolina, following a visit with his mother. His original purchase was 125,000 acres, a parcel three times the size of the District of Columbia. The mansion took him some six years to build. Aerial View of the Estate At the entrance to the property lies a Tudor village, built to house the workers who constructed Biltmore House. Today Biltmore Village is a trendy district offering chic boutiques, sidewalk cafes, and antique shops. With approximately four acres of floor space or roughly 174,240 square feet, Biltmore House of Biltmore Estate is the largest house in America. This magnificent French Renaissance chateau contains 250 rooms complete with 65 fireplaces, 34 bedrooms, an indoor pool, a bowling alley and more. The house itself opened to the public for the first time in 1930. Today, 1,800 employees attend to the estate’s upkeep. As we strolled toward the house, I took in its magnificent stone architecture, a French Renaissance chateau design by Richard Morris Hunt. Topped with hunched gargoyles and a steeply pitched roof, it looks as impressive now as it did in movies such as The Swan with Grace Kelly and Being There with Peter Sellers. Biltmore House has six levels: four floors plus a basement and sub-basement. you can notice the size of the guests to the size of the front doors to gain perspective to the size of this wondrous monument Docents hand out earphones for an audio tour hosted by Bill Cecil, Vanderbilt’s great-grandson. The family still owns the property, with Cecil serving as president and CEO. Filling the rooms are priceless treasures including paintings by some of the world's most highly esteemed artists such as Renoir, Sargent and Whistler. In the salon, a gaming table and chess set, once owned by Napoleon, are displayed and Ming Dynasty goldfish bowls grace the 10,000 volume library. Covering the marble and oak flooring are 50 exquisite Persian and Oriental rugs, while fine 16th-century tapestries adorn the walls Just off of the Entrance Hall, the tour begins in the Winter Garden Room, a glass-ceiling solarium. at Christmastime it is festooned with lights. During Christmastime ballroom dancers in period costumes twirl around the circular room, a festive touch for the season. At Christmastime you will encounter the pièce de résistance, a 35-foot Christmas tree that lords over the room, pointing toward the seven-story-tall ceiling, next to the twin chandeliers and a magnificent pipe organ that is playing carols. Each November, two big Clydesdale horses pull an enormous Fraser fir to the house, taking it into the Entrance Hall and around the Winter Garden, past carved friezes of Greeks on horseback, before squeezing into the portal to the Banquet Hall. The massive stone pillars here bear the scrapings of branches being pulled through year after year. Banquet Hall which is 70' High X 72' X 40' & will seat up to 64 guests Making our way to the vast Banquet Hall, at Cristmas you will encounter the pièce de résistance, a 35-foot Christmas tree that lords over the room, pointing toward the seven-story-tall ceiling, next to the twin chandeliers and a magnificent pipe organ that is playing carols. Each November, two big Clydesdale horses pull an enormous Fraser fir to the house, taking it into the Entrance Hall and around the Winter Garden, past carved friezes of Greeks on horseback, before squeezing into the portal to the Banquet Hall. The massive stone pillars here bear the scrapings of branches being pulled through year after year. From here we explore a Tapestry Room and book-lined Library, decorated with treasures from around the world, including Napoleon’s personal chess set, just in front of the giant stone fireplace. More than 10,000 volumes in eight languages attest to a contemporary newspaper’s claim that Vanderbilt was “the best read man in the country.” Filling the rooms are priceless treasures including paintings by some of the world's most highly esteemed artists such as Renoir, Sargent and Whistler. In the salon, a gaming table and chess set, once owned by Napoleon, are displayed and Ming Dynasty goldfish bowls grace the 10,000 volume library. Covering the marble and oak flooring are 50 exquisite Persian and Oriental rugs, while fine 16th-century tapestries adorn the walls. Mr. George Vanderbilt's Bedroo Upstairs visitors will find 33 bedrooms, sitting rooms, and guest quarters, as well as four never-before-seen rooms to explore. In a newly opened Louis XV Suite. formal gardens looking back to the house balustrade looking to the countryside of Biltmore Estate Portrait of Mrs. George Vanderbilt, Edith painted by John Singer Sargent still hangs at Biltmore House Stable House is one of the 5 restaurants on the property. As the name suggests, this one occupies the old stable building. Its surroundings have been transformed into a shopping experience offering an array of small stores. The Carriage House Shop features teapots and lamps and jewelry and Biltmore-brand salad dressings — not to mention wines bottled on the estate. A confectionery shop offers mountain taffy, French chews, white chocolate champagne balls, and milk chocolate cherry cordials. I lingered in the tiny Toymaker’s Shop, a cornucopia of teddy bears, rocking horses, and monkeys on a swing. In addition to the stuffed animals, storybooks, and iron blacksmith’s puzzles, there were turn-of-the-century Biltmore dolls, eye-dazzling kaleidoscopes, and hand-carved spinning tops. There’s even a shop called A Christmas Past that sells holiday decorations: Father Christmases, Nativities, angels, and toy soldiers. Poinsettias, wreaths, and fat snowmen surround the room, imbuing it with a genuine sense of holiday cheer. I had known of Biltmore House since college but had never seen it before. It will take one an entire day to enjoy everything the estate has to offer, and you will see many beautiful and awesome things. A visit to Biltmore House is a journey into the extravagant past, a time when moneyed families led a palatial existence. And today you can share that grandeur. At least for lovely day. there is much information about Biltmore on the internet, including their website & when one learns how very difficult it was to built such a structure in such a remote location, it makes it even more splendid to see one man's vision when it comes to life for you. don't forget to register for my GIVEAWAY found on Monday's blog posting may the Lord bless & keep you, my friends
