I Spy

Mark D. Sikes

 

I love spying favorite pieces of mine in rooms done by interior designers I love. The silver cachepot on the cocktail table is a Bunny Williams design.

I saw this on Bunny Williams' instagram account and I thought it was such pretty inspiration for a floral arrangement for Easter or Spring.

And I think I know where to get the chic container.

The Blue and White Pagoda @ Christmas

Grace Frederick Design

 

I have this blue and white pagoda and love it. It is such a classic for the lover of chinoiserie. It looks wonderful here on a mantel combined with Christmas greenery and a poinsettia.

Charlotte Moss posted this stunning shell assemblage done by Lexington Garden Design. The jardiniere is French that she found on a shopping trip to Paris.

The Cachepot

What exactly is a cachepot?

It is a French word for an ornamental receptacle to hold and conceal a flowerpot.

How is it pronounced?

CASH-poh.

When Life Gives You Lemons

Aldous Bertram - House Beautiful

I would love to grow topiary lemon trees and they are readily available here even at Lowe's and Home Depot. Check out this chic vignette with a lemon topiary in a beautiful blue and white cachepot and Quadrille Paradise Garden curtains and cushion. I love the wicker stool. And yes, I do use shoes for staging as well.

In the vignette above, check out how they have used seashells in lieu of moss - adorable! Definitely using this idea. I doubt all those Meyer lemons came off of that little tree though!

I suspect the topiaries would fare much better in the lanai than the house, but they do look great.

Chinoiserie for Mother's Day

 A lovely gift for Mother's Day is a beautiful potted orchid. Make it even more special by presenting it in a blue and white cachepot.
