in 2012, blanc designed vertical gardens for the annual orchid show at the new york botanical garden.
so, it's not surprising that vertical gardens are also becoming popular on the east coast.
so popular that charlotte moss designed vertical gardens of perserved boxwood for a master bedroom suite at the 2012 kips bay decorator show house.
along with the vertical gardens in the sitting room and the bathroom, moss used trompe l'oeil wallpaper, garden photographs, and garden ornaments to transform the suite into a french country retreat.

this could be considered trend direction, instead of product placement, since the color of the safavieh ikat rug is purple haze.
because, in both show houses, the dining rooms have purple and green color schemes...
to modernize the late victorian dining room of the san francisco decorator showcase, klismos chairs with green upholstery surround a cluster of tiered tables with purple resin tops.

in the dining room of the kips bay decorator show house, aubergine walls and a 42-arm venetian glass chandelier from the 1940's alter the proportions of the too-tall space. french empire chairs with green upholstery, and a 1960's mirror, framed in green faceted glass, add contrast.

but, the custom bed, created for a bedroom suite in san francisco by furniture and accessory designer paul benson is unusual.
don't the materials of the bed, which include hot rolled steel, brushed brass, and polished aluminum, remind you of la cornue?
