Bunny Williams, Furnishing the Garden in Boston
May 06 2015 ·0Last week we were lucky enough to have elite designer Bunny Williams visit the Boston Design Center. During a beautiful presentation, Ms. Williams presented her new Furnishings for the Garden from Century Furniture.
I have had the pleasure of meeting Ms. Williams before and her gracious, warm, and elegant qualities are inspiring. Her manner of speaking is a bit ‘Southern’ with a slower cadence than us New Englanders ~ but when Bunny Williams speaks, we all listen.
Ms. Williams is well known for her beautiful interior designs that combine traditional style, restraint, and balance as well as a patina from one-of-a-kind antiques. She has published several books including her latest, an updated version of On Garden Style.

Pamela's Posh Picks: Patio Umbrellas
Apr 27 2012 ·0Spring has definitely sprung! The earth is covered in green and beautiful flowering trees and bulbs punctuate the landscape with vibrant pops of color. I’ve already been enjoying time out on my terrace and as always, am looking foward to many more hours outside as the even warmer weather approaches. Of course we don’t always want to be in the sun when we’re out on our decks and patios, sometimes you need a little bit of shade. This weeks Posh Picks are all about creating shade while maintaining style. Enjoy!
The Shadylace Parasol is “stencil-cut to allow beams and dapples of sunshine through, giving a natural quality of light and shade”.
The lacey leaf pattern is so unique and lovely, giving you the feeling of sitting under a maple tree. Did you notice the golden bird finial at the top? Whimsical perfection!
The Pagoda Umbrella from Pier 1 is full of painterly personality with a bohemian-Asian vibe.
I envision lots of colorful floor pillows in piles underneath for lounging . Pure fun….
The Emberglow patio umbrella with its’ sophisticated orange and white pattern would be a perfect compliment with white or dark patio furniture~
Doesn’t every umbrella look just a wee bit better with tassels? This Carousel Gingko umbrella certainly does!
Wouldn’t it be fun to embellish the edges of a plain market umbrella with tassels or a scallop edge trim? Of course there’s always the perennial favorite tiny white fairy lights. So many great options for great looking shade!
Finally, this tiki-inspired Palapa umbrella. I first saw this style of umbrella at my friend Susan’s pool and I fell in love with it. Susan has this style of umbrella alongside her pink pool house and it looks great. This Posh Pick get points not only for sentimental reasons but also because I love the way the faux grass dances in the wind.
With so many great choices and creative options, have a great time selecting your summer umbrella (or 2!)

Pamela's Posh Picks: Outdoor Rugs
Apr 06 2012 ·0Spring has officially arrived and now we here in New England can look forward to designing (and using!) our outdoor spaces. Whether you have a patio, a gazebo, a terrace or a deck, one of the best strategies as you begin envisioning your space is to start from the ground up. In that spirit, this week’s Posh Picks are a varied and fabulous selection of indoor/outdoor rugs.
Jaipur Rugs Barcelona Red/Orange
I love the red/orange color and geometric design of this fresh looking rug. It would pair seamlessly with West Indies inspired patio furniture: think dark stained wood and wicker with bright, coordinating cushions and accessories.
Trans Ocean Terrace Zebra Brown Indoor/Outdoor Rug
By now you know that I cannot pass up a chance to highlight nearly anything in an animal print! This sophisticated zebra inspired print would look great on a Bachelor Balcony. Sleek chaises in dark brown powder coated metal complete this sophisticated, masculine look.
Dash & Albert Woven Marina Stripe Indoor Outdoor Rug
This lively rug is both classic and durable. To me, this is Cape Cod style all the way. This would be beautiful on a patio with white furniture ~ how about a dining set with a complementary umbrella in a bold shade of green or blue?
Rug Market Resort Toulouse Blue Outdoor Rug
The Toulouse rug oozes romance. It would be perfectly at home on a terrace overlooking a perennial garden. I picture a Victorian white wicker chaise topped with hints of raspberry in the pillows and perhaps maybe even a parasol for shelter from the sun. Mmmmm, iced tea in this lovely ladies lounging area sounds delightful!
Koko Co. floormat, Optic in Pink/Red
Bold, hot & frisky describe this Koko Co. floormat. The bright and modern design would provide the perfect colorful pop in a gazebo or screened porch ~ so fun!
I just know that warmer temperatures will return and soon we’ll all be enjoying our outdoor spaces! Should you desire assistance designing or styling your outdoor space this year, do contact me ~ I’d love to collaborate with you!

Pamela
