I've been collecting art since I was in my 20's. Each one has a meaningful story attached to it. There's more...

Show us your gardens - April 2013 part 2
Comments (41)It's SPRING! And I have zone envy, too. Bill, your photos are wonderful and tempt me to move further south. NHbabs, love the stones and bleeding heart. Mine are in a shady area so I don't think they are as far along as yours. I love forget-me-nots when they bloom but then they get tall and unsightly looking. Should i just clip them? After an internet hunt for Black Chokeberry, we found a nice though small selection at Scenic Nursery in Raymond NH but they were already 6' tall. I wanted something next to a spreading cottoneaster that wouldn't get any taller than 6' and preferable stay shorter. These didn't look like could be pruned back much. Should you check out this nursery, it's in a delightful spot tucked next to a river, be warned that they are not open on Saturdays. I thought their shrub prices were reasonable. I ended up with Halo Dogwood. Our house is white so I think the red stems will look nice in winter and provide some perches for the birds we like to watch/feed. I keep meaning to take photos of my garden. After watching for bloodroot by the side of the road, I discovered I had some in my garden. I must have gotten it at last year's plant swap and it's very happy in my garden (soil on the moist side). The wonderful Viburnum Onandago that had to be moved away from the house was moved to my future wild life sanctuary. The viburnum kept getting taller, even after pruning (I waited a year too long) and was at least 9 feet tall. The pruning caused it to spread, I think. Fortunately, my husband has a backhoe. We only lost a couple of branches. I know this area of our property can be wet but it's wetter than I expected. The next day any holes left from backfilling were filled with water. A wonderful dark purple leafed perennial that doesn't bloom until late summer appears to be invasive. I don't want to remove it entirely but maybe it should be someplace else. It is Lysimachia ciliata 'Firecracker' (Hairy loosestrife) . Does anyone have experience with this plant and a recommendation about whether or not a should remove it from a medium size bed (about 15' x 4')....See MoreShow Us Your Gardens - A photo Thread - September 2014 Part I
Comments (28)pixie_lou: Nice job on the hardscaping in the front of the house - have you decided what you want to plant in that big empty space on the left? nhbabs: Gorgeous pictures! I love the muted colors, particularly the delicate pinks and the morning mist view. Nothing very dramatic here for the end of September - lots of berries and grasses and goldenrod. The cotoneaster along the wall: Volunteer crabapple fruits: Winterberry with Euonymus 'Silver King': Winterberry with Osmanthus 'Goshiki': Miscanthus 'Cosmopolitan' is beginning to bloom, but the seedheads aren't all fluffy yet: About half of the seedheads are open. The birds are finding them. The old forsythia leaves are turning red: The path to the house is getting wilder: The wisteria pseudo-standard keeps trying to extend its reach and I keep cutting it back. I usually leave some vines in the skirt if they're not a tripping hazard. You can't really see them in the previous picture, but the three big Blushing Knockout roses are blooming. Not a huge flush but still pleasing. Sedums with Juniper 'Grey Owl': A few plants are still green. Maybe it's because of the shade but the slugs haven't bothered these. Hosta 'Paul's Glory' with variegated Solomon's Seal: and Hosta 'Northern Exposure': Claire This post was edited by claire on Mon, Sep 29, 14 at 12:41...See Moreplease post pics of your picture gallery wall

Comments (7)I love gallery walls altho the only one I have at present has only land and seascape oils, most are framed with gold tone frames altho some are unframed - a pic won't help you and it's difficult to get a good pic as it's on my stairway wall. I think what you want to do *can* be done successfully and the key is balance. This gallery wall at Pottery Barn has several types of frames and content but it's well balanced. You have to click thru a few pics in the slideshow at the link posted below to get to the gallery wall pic. Have you laid all your art on the floor and played around with it to see how it might work? That's what I've always done. If you are the type of person who requires complete symmetry this might not work for you but well balanced asymmetrical galleries can be wonderful.

My father’s technical drawings from 1938, in French. We found dozens and split them up within the families. Located in hallway and I often stop and think of him.

Our house is 170 years old. Gallery of plates and at Christmas too ;^) I still can't believe I reused all the same nails!

last yearI decided to try a gallery wall over my piano, and I like it. The biggest problem is, I swear, everything starts off straight but something is crooked at the end of every day. Just people walking past that wall?

last yearI am a minimalist when it comes to walls. I like the contrast of my wood stairs with my antique white walls. I thought I would add a little humor to this topic: my husband is quite the turkey hunter and in our basement is a gallery of his turkeys; and their beards.
