I am honored to also be featured in the September issue of "Romantic Homes" magazine. The issue is on newstands now. I hope you get a chance to get a copy. The article is about my personal home, some decorating ideas that I incorporated into my home, and of course {Peacock Park Design} the home decor and gift line that I have the pleasure of creating. This first shot is a misty summer morning at around 6 am. It is sooooo still out then, and smells like heaven. The dining room is where the kids roller blade in a circle around the dining table, and back to the foyer, and around again....a regular racetrack......Believe it or not, nothing has ever been broken. I believe a house should be lived in, so even though it has some pretty formal rooms, it has seen ALOT of activity over the years....I have been in this home for 15 years now. This room is a back bedroom that my husband calls the "packrat" room. it is because he says it looks like a french pack rat lives there, with all the treasure stashed in the closets and drawers...it is the stuff that "one day I will fix, create, duplicate or just save", and there is alot of it........shhhhh.....dont tell the history channel because "hoarders" producers will be knocking looking for a segment or two or three. Okay, so I need to purge. I will post an online estate sale one day, at least then I know people who appreciate it will get it. right? This is the Kitchen, I did a ton of changes to this room, in the article it explains the fridge doors. My infamous opera girls....I just cant get enough of them. They are darn near life size here, and all decked out with three dimensional accessories. The sky I painted to look like a sunset and if you look close you can see the night stars lit in the sky...this was done with some tiny lights and fiber optics that I got for a steal, and thought I would give it a try...thank goodness it worked, because everyone thought I lost my mind on this one. This is a portion of Mr. Wonderful's domain. He has his masculine den. This is where he will retreat to when he entertains.........me ..well you know how it goes......everyone gathers in the kitchen.. The library is loaded with old books, ledgers and novels...mixed with artwork and objet de' art. I like to mix it up. I also like pictures to hang on the "outside" of a bookcase so it gives it more dimension. It doesnt have to be a fabulous work of art, it could be a photo, or childrens drawing, or a great old advertisement...just frame it, and it instantly looks more important and meant to be there. This is the parlour....well it used to be the dining room, but I switched it all around so the fireplace was in the dining room. I figured it was a better decision than to try to put a fireplace into the parlour right? This room goes off onto a terrific curved balcony with iron rail and flower boxes that wrap the perimeter. Aaahhhh. all the more to water. I think I might put in catcus and succulents next year, because my chores are getting too lengthy every day. It over looks the pool, which I might add now has over 50 koi fish in it. I decided I didnt have time to swim in it, or take care of it, so I turned it into a huge 15 ft. deep fish pond. The fish love it and it is amazing how huge they get when they have that much room to grow. Well I hope you enjoyed my tour de jour....and if you are interested in seeing more you can find it on the newsstands......... Thank you again Romantic Homes, I truly appreciate your feature. BON JOUR !

These eight French garden design ideas are beyond beautiful and can be used to create a quintessentially French garden. Idea #3 is so easy!

We like to think we can do what we want on our own property, but truth be told, city hall often has us on a fairly tight leash. Recently we looked into adding a small garden shed and discovered that there were a long list of rules and regulations governing even these simple structures. (In the city of Brampton a shed must be located in the backyard and cannot be placed at the front or side of your house. It must also be located at least 2' inside the property line, and unless you obtain a special permit ($$), can be no bigger than 8' x10' and no higher than 9.5'....) Last week a sneak preview of the gardens on this year's Through the Garden Gate, the Toronto Botanical Garden's annual tour of Toronto's best private gardens, got me thinking even further about the rules, both real and unspoken, that govern our lives. This year Through the Garden Gate features gardens located in Hogg's Hollow a small enclave in the heart of the city that has managed to retain much of its original charm and character. A much sought after address, the homes here are grand and ostentatious. Very often professionally designed and maintained, these gardens are all scrupulously groomed and ordered. What a surprise then, to come across a garden like this one (also included on this year's Through the Garden Gate tour): Now here was a garden rebel; a homeowner who dares to swim against the current. In this particular front garden, there wasn't a blade of grass in sight! Instead the garden was free and unstructured; some might even say "wild". Alliums There was a time when "natural" front gardens were highly controversial. That was years ago though! Surely we have moved away from the limitation of thinking the only thing that belongs at the front of a house is a lawn and a few tidy flowerbeds? Or have we? So for fun, I looked up the regulations governing front gardens in my own city. Bleeding Heart, Dicentra spectabilis The City of Brampton website states that homeowners must: "Cut grass and weeds regularly to make sure they don't grow higher than higher than 20 cm (8 inches). If you don't cut your grass and weeds, the City will cut them at your own expense. The cost for this is at least $313." Hmm....this speaks more to traditional lawns. But what about "natural" grasses and gardens? What is one's man's weed is another man's flower! I decided to call the City for clarification. Siberian irses and daffodils When I finally got another human on the other end of the line, she immediately seemed to be flustered by my questions about "natural" front gardens. "No one has ever asked me about this before!" she said apologetically, "I am going to have to put you on hold while I ask someone." When she finally came back on the line, she told me a little uncertainly,"There are no regulations in the City of Brampton restricting you from having a natural-style front garden. Did you want to file a complaint?" That's funny, I thought! She thinks I am calling to turn in one of my neighbours. " No, no!" I assured her, "I was just curious about the rules and regulations." When I hung up the phone, I couldn't help but think back to all the by-laws concerning the garden shed we want to build. Now, our neighbours have a huge garden shed that's practically a cottage. Hardly regulation! But the cottage is somewhat hidden at the very back of the yard, so the only ones who are likely to turn them in for by-law infractions would be us. But we have never complained, nor do I imagine we ever would. Sometimes, I think it is okay to turn a blind eye. Is that the true hurdle to be overcome then: keeping the neighbours happy with whatever you choose to do in your own yard, so they don't make life difficult by filing a complaint against you? Gosh! Does that mean that we really do have to worry what the neighbours think at least on some level? More information and links: Through the Garden Gate is one of Ontario's largest and certainly is its grandest garden tour. This year there are 19 private gardens in the secluded and quite enclave of Toronto known as "Hogg's Hollow". " This neighbourhood was selected for the extraordinary mature gardens that punctuate its hill-and-dale topography and for the winding roads that provide stunning views around every turn, "explains Mark Cullen, 2014 Honorary Event Chair. "This is truly 'where the river meets the ravine', just steps away from Yonge Street and the urban core of North York. Hogg's Hollow shows once more that Toronto is a city of gardens." Date: Saturday, June 14th and Sunday, June 15th, 2014 Time: 11 sm to 4 pm Tour headquarters: Tour headquarters are located at the north end of York Mills Park. Access is adjacent is adjacent to the south exit from York Mills subway. Free shuttle buses depart from tour headquarters along two garden tour routes.

This is a large cast stone planter that will enhance any landscape. It is imposingly classical with heavy gadrooning and an egg and dart decorated rim. Featured in the 1995 production of Pride and Prejudice, the planter is named after the 1815 Battle of Waterloo that saw the British and Prussians defeat Napoleon and send him into exile. There's no doubt that the Waterloo Urn Stone Planter will make a superb focal point, and you could also use several to line a terrace or patio as at Lyme Park in Cheshire.
