Love the work of interior designer, Monique Gibson, and one of my favorite Gibson projects is John Mellencamp’s home in South Carolina (see below).
Gibson’s talent to make large spaces feel warm and inviting, yet stylishly interesting, is stunning.
Happy Friday!

I first heard about Patrick Dougherty in 2009 when Southern Accents did a story on him, and I couldn’t believe what he could create out of twigs! These incredible works of art seem to compliment each setting in which they are constructed. In nature, they look as though they’ve existed there forever. When placed against buildings or in galleries, the contrast between the natural and the manmade — is gorgeous! I do want one of my own.

When designing an outdoor space, I always like to include a console table. The console table, on its off time, serves as a place for a lantern, potted plant, and an interesting object or two (as in the photo above). However, when there is entertaining going on, the console becomes the perfect place for food & drink.
A great example of this, is Bunny Williams’ patio area. She has a lovely huge console table that can easily transform into a buffet table when entertaining.
Here, for a friend’s garden, I had a potting table and mirror made for the patio area. When entertaining, the table becomes the perfect place for beverages and food, otherwise, it displays the owner’s fabulous plants and objects.
The table you use for you buffet doesn’t necessarily have to be a proper console table, you could use an old picnic table, potting table, small bistro table or even your outdoor coffee table — it all depends on your needs/space.
Items for your buffet…
