Red, white, and blue

Since this is our Fourth of July holiday here in the U.S., Independence Day, I thought I'd post images of three natives of the Americas that fit the red, white, and blue theme, all from our garden.

Classical Contemporary Interior Design Throughout the house, the décor reflects what Brown and Davis call “classical contemporary,” a luxurious but streamlined look that has become their signature. “One of our trademarks is the juxtaposition of old and new, and bringing colors together in unexpected ways,” Davis says. Contemporary Kitchen Interior The contemporary was revamped by Poggenpohl. The more formal rooms at the front of the house exemplify this mix of traditional and modern elements. In the living room, Brown and Davis replaced the fireplace mantel with a carved limestone surround and installed new architectural moldings to create a classical backdrop to stylized, Deco-inspired furnishings. Instead of pairing sofas around the fireplace, they arranged seating areas at either end of the room and connected them with a floral-patterned carpet of their own design.
