Marburger Farm was especially lovely this Spring. The smell of hyacinth in the air...ahhhh, it makes for such a wonderful start to a glorious season. I love it!

I guess you could say I am a flower girl, I simply love being surrounded by fresh flowers as you will see by the pics from the show. This season I chose green and white as my color palette, made casual by the use of natural burlap. Wrapping potted plants in burlap was an easy and inexpensive way to bring about the casual yet elegant look we find so alluring.

Simply cut a square of burlap that will reach as far above the lip of the pot as you desire. Cut, place on a flat surface and place the pot in the center. Pull the burlap up around the pot and tie with raffia. You may use floral picks to hold in place if the raffia doesnt do the magic. I chose to let the burlap fall casually. Simply wonderful...try it! The beauty of this is that you can water your plants and not worry about taking off the burlap, the water runs right through! Do allow it to dry out or you may have a moldy mess.

 
 
Other pics of the show...a stroll through Kim Hoegger HOME...

I can happily say that this beautiful charming boy and his sister were sold as a pair and will remain together as they have been for a very long time.

Antique marble trivets are making a comeback in kitchen design. This show we had some truly gorgeous ones in really unique shapes like this oval one...so lovely and what a great way to display cooking oils and vinegars on your island or on the counter next to the range. Lovely.

That's all for now, gotta run some errands. More on Marburger and Kim Hoegger HOME later. See you soon!
