For the “Designers Shine with Designer Bath</span><span style="font-size: large;">”</span><span style="font-size: large;"> award event that I planned for the showroom in July, we hired Laura Thomson to create arrangements to add a bit of nature-inspired beauty to our designer celebration.

Ian Mentasti of <a href="http://www.stephenterhune.com/">Stephen Terhune Woodworking</a>, a division of <a href="http://www.carpentermacneille.com/">Carpenter and MacNeille</a>, was our award-winning designer and his master bath project was amazingly beautiful. I brought lots of luxurious bath items to style the space for our professional photo shoot including hydrangeas from a friend’s front yard. The leftover blooms came home with me and I put them in a low vase to enjoy for awhile. Look for the winning space in next issue of <a href="http://services.bostonglobe.com/consumer/dne/default.aspx">Design New England Magazine</a> as it will be featured in a full page ad for <a href="http://designerbath.com/">Designer Bath</a>. The entire house was stunning! I really wish we could have stayed to photograph more of it.     </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjniwgXbA7WSM1CfA-yxvmBO6dIr8LfWamwec37fjzsf0hA86_fuH_qR5zT38_ZY-jTWq2dy39YiCEGeNbXTk45OkOzF7g0fCKaehtLhj_AYf_cfunT8JN54js0_a0XDmwbQxh-AcRJZfR-/s1600/fernsinYork.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjniwgXbA7WSM1CfA-yxvmBO6dIr8LfWamwec37fjzsf0hA86_fuH_qR5zT38_ZY-jTWq2dy39YiCEGeNbXTk45OkOzF7g0fCKaehtLhj_AYf_cfunT8JN54js0_a0XDmwbQxh-AcRJZfR-/s800/fernsinYork.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i>Ferns, ivy and peace lily in a large black urn by <a href="http://www.churchillsgardens.com/">Churchills Garden Center</a></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">I took a trip to visit the <a href="http://www.oldyork.org/visit/showhouse.html">York Decorator Show House</a> today. Designer <a href="http://www.geraldpomeroydesigngroup.com/">Gerald Pomeroy</a> was a shining star at this year’s show. His living room, dining room, kitchen and sun porch were elegantly designed with lots of rich textures and subtle patterns. I wasn’t there to photograph the show, but I was able to capture the above urn on the grounds surrounding Harmon House. There is only one day left to view the 19 decorated spaces ... if you can’t make it in person, there are a few photos of Pomeroy’s work on the <a href="http://www.boston.com/lifestyle/house/blog/dne/2012/07/york_show_house.html">Design New England blog</a>. If you do plan to visit, you’ll see lots more designer flower arrangements inside (along with some fabulous decorated living spaces), plus gorgeous gardens and plantings outside. <a href="http://charleshugo.com/">Charles C. Hugo Landscape Design</a> created an outside kitchen set against the backdrop of the York Harbor that looks like the perfect place to spend a summer afternoon.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><br />

Seasoned artists from the <a href="http://lynnfield.patch.com/topics/lynnfield+art+guild">Lynnfield Art Guild</a> along with talented students from the Lynnfield Middle and High Schools were asked to submit their works of art to be interpreted with flowers. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHpxW5tocnr5eQGdLC5auB1rgTAIO9IBGEhQJHiaMep9Vd7bBwvGyqSQbBYwDgWvKWtq5mpSkwszxAFS4JueoTVCEOS9mPrScC0HNWKxBT4kz5a9-9smH-vpBh5E9RFAOWVsTvnlKf18Q3/s1600/SoaringColors_AlisonCouncil.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHpxW5tocnr5eQGdLC5auB1rgTAIO9IBGEhQJHiaMep9Vd7bBwvGyqSQbBYwDgWvKWtq5mpSkwszxAFS4JueoTVCEOS9mPrScC0HNWKxBT4kz5a9-9smH-vpBh5E9RFAOWVsTvnlKf18Q3/s800/SoaringColors_AlisonCouncil.jpg" width="400" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: large;">“Soaring Colors” by Alison Council</span></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">I fell in love with this collage by Lynnfield High School student, Alison Council. First, the typography combined with hand written words of inspiration really appealed to me. Second, the bird image is made up of little bits of ripped magazine pages. You know how much I love magazines! The composition of the piece impressed me and I admire its confident message.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjvMGWERFhCUGhKZ5jhSmJPSj5kf-iCWZS9ndbGM3l83PdI2p_Qh-9h_MJYxYpOBrRMyuYj267obTNCOyzg1AwNvHvdnIsyzmqMYzPOkaJ6SUvER5K2dPgVFiUE28eXGotRQ5JELlAr1aZ/s1600/yvonne_alison_artinbloom12.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjvMGWERFhCUGhKZ5jhSmJPSj5kf-iCWZS9ndbGM3l83PdI2p_Qh-9h_MJYxYpOBrRMyuYj267obTNCOyzg1AwNvHvdnIsyzmqMYzPOkaJ6SUvER5K2dPgVFiUE28eXGotRQ5JELlAr1aZ/s800/yvonne_alison_artinbloom12.jpg" width="400" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: large;">Arrangement by Yvonne Blacker</span></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: large;">“Soaring Colors” by Alison Council</span></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">For my arrangement, I chose mini carnations which look like crinkled pieces of paper. I found these really neat floral accessories that looked very Dr. Suess-like (the tall curled brown branches remind me of Alison’s poetic script, bright pink orbs repeat the pink of the bird, and the fragile white pods resemble eggs). I supported the flowers with a nest of feathers tucked into the tall, vintage silver vase. In order to incorporate some blue into my interpretation, I twisted a pale blue silk ribbon around the vase as one might wrap a hand-held bouquet. This arrangement was all about the container, the scale, and finding inspiration in whimsy. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigfrxMrkABvxqSCKZb5IovIC49BYpf2P0fZmBqKmlBplEuSPTcu4u975aJz09iJd_EsGsqyM6fv_X25AxV-LgYYpTbBBAKWnI_MBwfer1s8l3t0njzHPVgV2Vc5Ra4UTwbW-AcTeiDQ-Hd/s1600/yvonne_soaring_alison_artinbloom12.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigfrxMrkABvxqSCKZb5IovIC49BYpf2P0fZmBqKmlBplEuSPTcu4u975aJz09iJd_EsGsqyM6fv_X25AxV-LgYYpTbBBAKWnI_MBwfer1s8l3t0njzHPVgV2Vc5Ra4UTwbW-AcTeiDQ-Hd/s800/yvonne_soaring_alison_artinbloom12.jpg" width="400" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">It was such a pleasure to meet the artist, Alison, on opening night. Her parents were also there, and I could tell they are very proud of her! The audience was quite lively being composed of students, their families, and those of us who have been at this Art in Bloom thing for awhile : ) I think it was one of my favorite shows because it really captured the spirit of community. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

She has an elegant sense of style paired with a super-bubbly personality. Note to my designer friends: when showing off your work at a designer showhouse, don’t be shy!
