The Chinoiserie Topiary

Carolyne Roehm

 

Topiaries in blue and white Chinese porcelain are so classic for your home and garden. I love faux versions for indoors. A lovely touch for a dining table, sideboard, fireplace, kitchen island, or the corner of a room - one will brighten any spot.

Boxwood for Christmas Decorating

Boxwood Present with Ribbon

 

I love boxwood topiaries and my garden has many topiaries. I am too far south for boxwood, but Eugenia topiaries do great in South Florida and look almost identical. For Christmas, I decorate the topiaries in blue and white Chinese fishbowls at my entrance with white lights.

Chic Christmas Wreaths

Preserved Boxwood Monogram Wreath

 

In Florida and in the South in general, fresh wreaths dry out very quickly, but I am not a huge fan of artificial wreaths. I found an alternative that I really love.
