Wall-Mounted Forest

Recently my family undertook an excursion to Larkspur, a semi-schmancy town on the other side of the San Francisco ferry. (As in, the non-SF side.) We had a nice lunch. I picked up a copy of Edible Marin & Wine Country to peruse. Walking back to the ferry dock, we passed under these curious naturalistic plaques:

Built In Red Ink




This print reminds me of Anne of Green Gables or some other sweet childhood classic. In fact, I think much of homefeel is embedded during the early years. I'm interested in how much comes from media, the image of the idyllic home. Where did I learn about white picket fences?

Annabelle Selldorf & Garden Wall Decor

quote from interview with architect Annabelle Selldorf in Vogue magazine

Quote from an interview with architect Annabelle Selldorf in Vogue. Elaboration from later in the article:

On a different topic, sort of, here's a pretty garden wall that I walked by recently:

In a way this is actually related, because Selldorf mentions finding "a balance of many, many things". The above photo makes me happy in that respect. It's not exactly balanced, not symmetrical, but the flow of movement from the bottom-right corner into the top-left one is pleasing to observe. I love aesthetics.
