My sister and I did a photo shoot for our garden book this weekend. Just one little shot as a teaser of things to come in the book! 
An entry way should be warm and inviting and convey a prelude of what’s to come when you step inside. This homeowner has perfectly combined the use of stone, wood and wrought iron to create an interesting palate that captures your interest and leaves you wanting to see more. The addition of the fabric drape softens the hard scape materials and creates and indoor/outdoor feel.
In this circumstance, the homeowner uses the French Doors as the main entryway. By flanking the French Doors with the large symmetrical placements of the urns and lanterns, it invites the guest directly into the home.
Very nice! Great photo, very inviting!
Thanks ~ I can’t give away the very best images, i have to save those!
I love it. Uve definitely accomplished the goal of capturing interest. My interest has been capture. Great job. Cant wait to see more!
Thank you so much!
This is lovely, sure enough. Remind me when the book publishes. I’m senile, you know. I always wanted outdoor drapes. It is possible now that no-mildew fabrics are available. Outdoor canvas prints and all sorts of stuff is on the market. I like that. I have two prints hanging in my pergola. I look forward to the book!
We don’t have a publish date yet, we’re still working on the material and concept but ideally I’d like to have a pre-order out by the holidays but not sure that will happen.
That sounds great and holidays would be a perfect time too.
I’m looking forward to it!
You’ll tell us when to start looking for your book? Closer to your publication date, I’ll be happy to talk it up at libraries and bookshops in my part of the world.
You’re so sweet! Yes, when we get close I’ll let you guys know. We still have a ways to go.
Oh yes, I would definitely enter. Or sit on the porch for a spell.
Beautiful.
I love the stone, wood and metal combination then softened by the fabric and plants.
Very nice! Did you take any shots with a wider view of the french doors? One more sneak peek?
Yes, I do have some from the front but I can’t give it all away now. hehe
Beautiful. I would feel welcome entering that home.
You should see the inside!
Excellent shot!
Thank you!
Beautiful photo – what a great vibe in entering a home!
The inside looks like something out of a magazine.
