I think that a favorite part about decorating a space, whether it's for clients or for myself is utilizing what already exists and making it feel new again.

Botanical Inspiration: The Home Garden
I can't help feeling inspired by our garden. It is at times moody; bright and mysterious at others. As I explore it, I realize just how much I yearn to again work with plants on a daily basis. When I think back on studying horticulture, or working at nurseries, or creating botanical designs at Cocoon for clients, feelings of joy and contentment immediately come to mind. Plants have that effect on me. As we continue settling into our new home and garden, my mind races with ideas for Cocoon Home: Botanicals!
