Planting With A Purpose

Last week, I had the pleasure of hosting members of the CAPC (Child Abuse Prevention Council) for a demonstration on how to create and care for a succulent planter.  The lesson yielded 22 planters that will serve as center pieces for the organization's upcoming fundraising event.  Using textured metallic vessels and three distinct types of succulents,  the group dug in and carefully arranged and planted them to create stunning additions to their luncheon's table settings.  Take a look:

Many thanks to its members for including Cocoon Home Design in this week's event.  I'm honored to be part of this great cause.

Botanical Papers

Wallpaper designer Neisha Crosland combines delicate design with bold pattern in her Firework Flower series.

Jocelyn Warner's wallpapers also take on  botanical themes.   She often adds metallic touches.  Which reflect light and create depth on the wall.  I wish  changing wallpaper was as easy as changing paint color.
