My design style is eclectic – there’s no denying that. A common theme to help relate it together is inspiration from the garden. You may have noticed iron pieces over my mantel, on the wall, and on my shelves. I could almost cover a wall in iron (and don’t think I haven’t given this a lot of thought). Here are a few of my favorite iron pieces from the Willow House Spring 2011 catalog to bring a little garden inspiration into your home.
My most favorite item is the Cottage Gate Wall Art (41475). It looks great hanging on the wall as is. I get several comments on the mirror over my mantel. This would be a great piece for that project. For a larger wall area, buy two and and hang them on the wall to create one large iron piece.
For the best bang for your buck, you can’t beat the Charles Street Medallions (41453). I love this trio of iron circles. It makes me think of a garden path. There are so many interesting ways to hang these to accent a wall. My favorite is to hang one over the top of each other on a narrow wall or corner nook. These also make interesting chargers for your spring entertaining!
Can I ever do a Willow House post without mentioning a hurricane? Our new Parkside Hurricane (41468) is a gorgeous way to bring a touch of glass and iron into your home decor. Fill it with fresh flowers, your favorite candle or whatever suits your fancy!
Has anything from the garden inspired your design style?
