NEW JERSEY CHRISTMAS

Oznell — Tue, 10 Dec 2024 13:38:15 GMT

Stacy Ling of 'Bricks 'n Blooms' is an avid gardener with her elegant, 1850's farm house that she decorated. Warm and with nostalgic overtones:

That floor!

Love the way she mixes her lush growing plants with everything--

Stunning interior architecture--

Her neice crocheted the charming tree skirt:

Her tawny palette extends to her table settings. She mixes newer flameless candles, with vintage brass holders.

Love the homespun applique'd pillow--

She's lucky enough to have a sunroom, which might be my favorite--

Noticed her vintage milk glass scattered around, like this dainty ruffled Silver Crest bowl holding ornaments. The majestic deer reminds me of our sweet @ECBG , who loved to decorate at Christmas....

I couldn't find a winter exterior view of the house, but here it is in warm weather.

What a gorgeous home and so beautifully decorated! By any chance, do you know where in Jersey this is @Oznell ?

Beautiful home! I love the summer garden, black eyed susans enmass always catch my eye! The double doors are a wonderful greeting for guests and I love urns. The majestic deer is a focal point, I think I can almost hear him snorting!

@Oznell Although it's missing a fur baby or two, it is beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

@Citrine1 , I was curious too. She says on her blog that it is in northern New Jersey, in Gardening Zone 6a, or was it b?

@buddysgirl , that's good to hear, thanks! And hope you have a wonderful holiday, too.

@luvzchiz , ha, I'm glad you mentioned critters. Went back and found some. I think she said their names were Bodie and Koda. This was a Hallowe'en caper, apparently. Her naughty but beloved pups got into the pumpkins... She describes this as their mug shot. They are impossibly cute and 'penitent'...

Here's a more relaxed moment below...

Found a few different interior shots of the dining room while I was looking:

And in spring--

I LOVE everything in every photo! Just gorgeous.

@Oznell Thank you for your response!

Each picture just gets better and better. The outside of the home is lovely as well and, of course, the dogs are beauties!

I really love this home! The outside plants are lovely. I like the warm tones, touches of gold and red, and the greenery inside. The furnishings and accessories are very nice. The dogs are precious. The only thing I'm not fond of is the round orange ottoman.

I'd fly a drone over NJ to see that home. The owner is so talented.

@wilma I agree about the ottoman. Kind of looks like a pumpkin.

somewhere in North Jersey, pretty amazing that she can grow all those things as deer have eaten everything here, no one plants flowers anymore ....summer gardens have no color -(

Now that's an attractive home.

That chandelier is exquisite!

I love her decorations especially the plaid pillow you pointed out.

I would have made different paint color choices but everything was so pretty and elegant.

Oh those beautiful labs have stolen my heart...

Thank you for posting @Oznell

@Oznell This is such a lovely home, decorated beautifully.

@AuntG , ha, ha, I thought of the drone thing when I was posting this too! I sure hope that the residents of New Jersey, ( and the rest of the U.S.) get a satisfactory answer on that, pronto.

@DSD2 , thanks for noting that glistening chandelier. It's absolutely mesmerizing in photos, I bet even more beautiful in real life.
