Guest Picks: A Posy of Wildflower Designs
Showcase freely growing blooms around the home with wreaths, furniture and wallpaper that outlast summer
Wildflowers are among my favorite things. They are universally beautiful and spread throughout the countryside worldwide, from the French fields of lavender to the California deserts scattered with wild poppies. Inspired by their beauty, designers create all sorts of decorative objects that let you incorporate these fancy and free flowers in your interiors.
