WEEKEND PHOTO: A LOVELY GARDEN GATE!

March 20, 2010
  • Share

Photo by Coco of Cococozy


A darling garden gate – the alluring opening to a classic white picket fence (from my photo archives…taken in Nantucket). A gate, like a door, symbolizes optimism to me. Endless possibilites on the other side.

Have a nice weekend!

xoxo
Coco

    Very nice gate! The white pickets foreshawdow the porch railing. What I love most about it is that it doesn’t appear to be attached to a fence. Rather it is bordered by vegetation! Very nice.

    Love pretty gates, painted or iron, add so much to an outdoor setting or an entryway.

    I love the symbolism of the gate. I am a real Pollyana, and I love that I am. All that is good, but look at those hydrangeas! They are really special and remind me of my grandmother. Thanks for bringing that memory up for me today.

    I would have guessed Nantucket, or maybe the Hamptons. The hydrangea are a dead giveaway! Love it.

    I love white gates and the garden beyond looks so gorgeous! We have a similar gate on our house and everytime I go to the mail box I love it as it is the “gateway” to our home! Beautiful post.

    You are right ! Always have loved them myself … and your reasoning makes perfect sense. Love how it swings out over grass … sweet.

A great bathroom isn’t just functional, it’s the one room in the house that’s entirely yours. The stone you choose, the way light hits the fixtures, the tub you actually want to sit in. These are the ones that get it exactly right.
Save this for your next bathroom renovation inspo and follow for more. 🖤

Happy Labor Day! 🇺🇸 Here’s a little throwback toHappy Labor Day! 🇺🇸
Here’s a little throwback to a Labor Day dinner party I hosted a few years ago, and honestly, we’d still do it this way. 🥂✨
Hosting this Labor Day? Keep it simple:
• Set the table with one statement detail + neutral basics
• Choose a menu you can prep ahead so you’re not cooking all night
• Add candles or flowers to make the table feel special
• Serve everything family-style for a more relaxed feel
• Don’t overthink it. The best dinners are the ones where everyone lingers a little longer 🤍
Save this for your next dinner party and send it to someone who’s hosting! 🍽️

The bouclé sofa isn’t a trend, it’s a commitment. The bouclé sofa isn’t a trend, it’s a commitment. Soft, sculptural, and impossible to walk past without wanting to sit down. The rooms that get it right pair it with something unexpected: a dramatic mural, an antique screen, a city skyline, a hand-laid mosaic floor.

A well-designed bunk room isn’t just for kids. It’s about making every guest feel like they got the best bed in the house. Built-in storage, thoughtful lighting, and bedding that actually makes you want to climb up top.
Save this for your next build or renovation inspo and follow for more. 🖤

This Toronto home just redefined “warm modern.” 🤎 This Toronto home just redefined “warm modern.” 🤎
Designer Ashley Montgomery layered reclaimed wood beams, brass hardware, and deep walnut millwork against soft plaster walls, and somehow every single room still feels calm. The olive built-ins in the living room, the arched oak doors, that brass shower enclosure in the primary bath... this is what happens when someone actually commits to a palette.
