(?)I have been hearing from a few of you that I have been remiss in updating you all on the progress of the garden. Looking at the date and subject of my last post, that certainly seems to be the case. Plenty of stories I could tell about what to do and what not to do, what went right and what went wrong, and a million other things. Maybe at some point I will fill you in. But for now here are some pictures of what is an almost complete project. There is still a very short punch list, but it is done enough that it actually feels done. And with the glorious weather this long holiday weekend we have really been enjoying it.<br />

<br /></div>
<div>
Most of the perennials got planted midsummer just as the real heat was settling in so many didn't survive and the ones that did look a little worse for wear. It will be nice to see everything come up next spring.</div>

It can be overwhelming enough that one puts it off another day and then another, and then more pictures are added and the whole thing just snowballs. So rather than let the crushing weight of too many photos keep me from posting an update, I decided to just give you a bit of a photo dump (a fraction of what is available) and let them populate the screen according to the whims of Blogger and the image numbering system.<br />

With so many new beds and nooks and crannies, I imagined a nightmare as we tried to communicate something about some part of the yard and having to spend way too much time explaining which bit we were talking about. Especially since I won't remember the names of plants as well as John and I pictured myself constantly saying "you know, the green thing over by the stone thingy" or something like that.<br />
<br />
With John's input and cooperation, I came up with names for each of the unique areas of the yard. Although some of these areas will be similarly planted to some of their neighbors, they do each represent different planting schemes, locations, topography, etc.<br />

It feels like time for a little color. The plant list for the yard has largely been finalized, so while it doesn't look like much now, we can at least dream about what it will look like.<br />
<br />
In the front yard there will be two large (at least large for our yard) borders that will be planted as perennial meadow. Perhaps more than anywhere else in the yard, John and our designers took their inspiration for these beds from the work of Piet Oudolf. Although ours won't be this big and mature, we will have a yew hedge framing our perennial meadow.<br />

Last summer when we were visiting friends in Buck's County, Pennsylvania we made our usual stop at the truly spectacular <a href="http://lindenhillgarden.com/">Linden Hill Garden Nursery</a>. We noticed they had turned a drainage ditch into a wet garden that they called the Rill Garden. Since we will have two drainage outfalls in our front yard, we decided to make them a part of the planting beds rather than try and channel the water off of the property. Not only does this make for interesting planting opportunities, but it also keeps more of our runoff onsite which is better for the Chesapeake Bay watershed.<br />
<br />

So our perennial meadow beads will have a wet end and a drier end.<br />

Lots and lots of rain. I offered to send our portion to Alberta to help put out the wildfires there but Mother Nature didn't seem interested. Our landscaper/stone mason took the opportunity to go to the sunny shores of Massachusetts to source some granite slabs for the steps that will lead up to the pond at the back of the yard.<br />
<br />
From what we are told it is Cape Ann granite that was part of an old barn and quarried prior to 1880. Can't wait to see it on site.<br />

One of the reasons we bought the house was because it had a fairly large yard for the neighborhood. Almost twice as wide as most and with better standoff distances from our neighbors. Still, at 0.21 acres it isn't huge, but it did have huge potential. So not long after we moved in John had done his homework and found a landscape architect he really wanted to work with. Enter <a href="http://landscapeofmeaning.blogspot.com/p/about-me.html"><span style="color: red;">Thomas Rainer</span></a>. What John particularly liked about Thomas and his work was that he is a landscape architect with the heart of a gardener. You would think those two things would always go together, but they don't.<br />
<br />
We were lucky enough that Thomas had the time and was interested in working with us on our project. The planner in me was thinking we were more than a little premature in hiring him before we had even a clue what the house project would look like, but John's enthusiasm would not be assuaged. Once we had concept designs we all decided we needed to put them on the shelf until we at least knew the geometry of the house addition.<br />

Over the following five years, while we focused on the house, Thomas and his wife had a son, Thomas became more and more in demand as a lecturer, and he co-wrote a fantastic book called <i>Planting in a Post-Wild World</i>.<br />
<br />
After completing our house project I didn't realize how low my tolerance was for managing the yard project until I heard myself saying as much, and very forcefully so, at a project meeting with Thomas. Being far busier than I am, Thomas realized he needed to hand off the management of our project to someone who we could all trust to get it done with as little hassle to me and John.<br />

Enter <a href="http://oat-judge.com/"><span style="color: red;">Hilary Oat-Judge</span></a>, a seasoned landscape architect who knows Thomas well and has started her own landscape design business. After meeting her we were confident that she was not only in sympathy with our ideas and Thomas Rainer's design, but that she also was an organized, take charge, kind of person.<br />
<br />
Since Hilary came on the job things have been moving along at a healthy clip and each step of the way we find ourselves pleased with her design input and ability to really get things done.<br />
<br />
I'll have more to say about the design of the garden as things progress, but I thought you all might like seeing the overall plan to get a sense of what is coming. One big, big, change from the design below is the fact that we decided not to put in a swimming pool. Although there are many good reasons for this deletion, John is still mourning the fact that he isn't getting a pool. But he is getting a water feature that you can see in the second image below. Make sure you click on both images as they can get much bigger and easier to read.<br />

We've had a bit of a cold snap and this weekend it is supposed to get down to 27 degrees. I assume they will be okay. They are a little too big to cover with a sheet.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Even though the bamboo frames used to pleach the trees look like you could string power lines from them, I like them for two reasons: 1) they show how fantastic the hornbeams will be at screening our view and offering more privacy; and 2) the birds love to perch on them. I love the fact that we will be providing a place for birds to hang out.</div>

We were hoping to put in a pool of our own but logistics and cost made us decide to not do a swimming pool but put in a small reflecting pool instead.<br />
<br />
This morning as they continued to prep the back yard for the delivery of our trees next week. They discovered the old pool. And they discovered that most of it had to be broken up and carted away. Not only is it in the way of where the hornbeams are set to go, but it is also in the way of where the reflecting pool is going.<br />
<br />
So our landscaper made a quick call to a rental equipment center and they thankfully had the additional machinery needed to break up the old concrete and cart it out. I don't know why we didn't think that the old pool might still be under there somewhere. Oh well, all's well that ends well.<br />

Not only is mother nature dictating the terms of our planting schedule but she is also dictating my blogging. The first post following the 'before' pictures really should be to show you the overall plan for the garden so you can get the lay of the land. But we have seven American Hornbeams (<i>Carpinus caroliniana</i>) with our name on them at the nursery and they need to get in our ground by the end of March. Any later and the transplant will be less than successful. I could just wait and blog about them after the fact, but my hope is to blog about the garden project in real time as much as possible.<br />
<br />
So, what's the deal with all the hornbeams? The plan is to have them along the fence at the back of our property to provide a backdrop for the rest of the garden and to provide additional screening. The American hornbeam, also known as blue-beech and musclewood, is a shade loving hardwood tree that can grow to about 30 feet.<br />
<br />
Ours will be pleached which will keep them from getting that tall. Pleaching is the process of training tree branches horizontally, usually in a line, so that the branches of different trees meet up and sometimes grow together by forming natural grafts. Interestingly, pleaching has been used over the centuries to strengthen and knit together hedgerows as a natural fence for containing livestock.<br />

Although I have great faith in John's gardening abilities, this seems like something that should be left to experts. So we are. Back in early December our landscape architect chose seven 12-foot specimens that the nursery then began to train in preparation for our spring planting. Once installed, the nursery will provide additional training assistance. Of course it will take some time for the branches to fill in, but I think that will be part of the fun.<br />

<br />
Another great thing about the hornbeam is that they keep their leaves on until new growth in the spring pushes them off. This will help maintain the visual screening through the winter months.<br />
<br />
If fences make the best neighbors what does a lovely, green, growing screen make?<br />

After being back in the house for a year and three months, we are finally ready to get going on the yard project. We've had a conceptual design since before we even hired an architect to do the house renovation. John is so garden crazy that he wanted to put the garden cart before the house renovation-horse. But when we realized how important the geometry of the addition would be to determining the geometry of the yard, we had to put those on the shelf for about five years.<br />
<br />
In future posts I will talk more about the design process and how we got to where we are today, but for now, I just wanted to get the BEFORE pictures on record. In less than two weeks we will begin demolition and by the end of the month we will have seven hornbeams installed with the rest of the site grading, hardscape, irrigation, lighting, and planting to follow that.<br />
<br />
Although the garden is more John's bag than mine, by a long shot, his interest and knowledge has sharpened and amplified my own interest in gardens and gardening. My mom and two of her siblings are natural born gardeners, so it does run in my blood, but with John around I get to be more of an observer than a doer.<br />
<br />
Whatever I lack in creativity, skill, or knowledge, I make up for in destructive energy and organization. After so many years contemplating all of this work, it is suddenly upon us and we needed to get our act together. One of the things we had to do was clean out the old shed that is being demolished and decide which of the pots and other garden equipment would be kept.<br />

You may recall the groovy picture I shared last year that showed <a href="http://lucysforeverhome.blogspot.com/2014/04/wallpaper-time-warp-part-ii.html">what our kitchen looked like back in the 1960s and 1970s</a>. One of the girls who grew up in the house had been in touch with me and sent some fantastic vintage photos of the interiors. At Christmas she was back in DC and stopped by with her son to have a look at the place. Last weekend her brother and his wife who still live in the area stopped by to see the house.<br />
<br />
He showed us some fascinating photos of the house from 1968 which I managed to scan while John was showing them around the place. Later that day John was studying the scanned images using the zoom to really study some of the details. After a bit he said "Toonces, come look at this" (yes he calls me Toonces). What he showed me--to quote one of those annoying click bait headlines--blew my mind. I'll let the pictures do the talking.<br />

If a set designer had styled the room it wouldn't look any more 1960s than this picture does. Monkees' poster, check. Snoopy calendar, check. Alfred E. Neuman from Mad Magazine, check. Area rug in the shape of a foot, CHECK! How awesome. But that isn't what blew me away.</td></tr>

Truth be told, we have been pretty lazy since we moved back into the house. A few lingering punch list items, trying to figure out which piece of furniture do we need most, not quite sure where to put various pieces of art, gearing up for the yard/landscaping to be done, house guests, etc. You get the picture. This morning when I managed to tidy up the bedroom we use as an office it seemed like we should strike while it looked presentable, so I had John take some photos.<br />

They are lovely solid doors. Unlike all the old doors they are level and shut and latch nicely. Door hardware is unlacuquered brass (<a href="http://lucysforeverhome.blogspot.com/2014/10/marching-bands-aside-brassy-is-never.html">that we aged ourselves</a>) from Baldwin. Knobs are 1.75" rather than the more usual 2".</td></tr>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The desk is a 1958 rosewood Nana Ditzel desk. We picked it up for a song a few years ago when it was in an auction but not labeled as a Ditzel. This kept Ditzel fans from bidding it up. The chair is inspired by the Ant chair. Black leather document box is by Smythson. The wood paneling on the fireplace wall was put in sometime in the 1970s.</td></tr>

I feel like many of my posts have focused on the kitchen. I guess I shouldn't worry about that too much, the kitchen is one of the main reasons we undertook this project in the first place. On the other hand I haven't offered much in the way of substance even on the kitchen. On the third hand I have some lovely pictures that John took and I don't feel like waiting until I have time to do a more substantive post. So here they are.</div>

<span style="text-align: center;">One thing I don't like about many kitchens with open shelving is that they treat them as display areas and they looked staged. Before we moved back in I think we had vague plans of buying beautiful but useful thing to put on our open shelves. Didn't want to stage them, but definitely wanted them to have some visual interest. (<a href="http://lucysforeverhome.blogspot.com/2014/02/we-dont-want-dream-kitchen.html">You may remember some of our inspiration images</a>.) Since we have moved back in, guest beds and other immediate furnishing needs have taken precedence over finding the perfect melange of kitchen item to populate our open shelves. Horror of horrors, our long serving plain white dinner ware from Crate and Barrel has not only diminished in quantity over the years but a few plates even have chips. There is no way we would put them on the open shelves. But necessity meant that we did and the effect wasn't half bad. Doesn't mean we will keep them forever, but it works for now. </span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-align: center;">Even the haphazard way I plopped things up on the shelves when I unloaded boxes back in December has worked out pretty well. Being overwhelmed with all the unpacking and the holidays, I didn't have time to really think about how to arrange things. The net effect however is fairly pleasing and perhaps even worked out better than if I had thought about it too much.</span><br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Like the kitchens in our inspiration photos the practical items really warm a kitchen up and make it feel like a real place.

Let me say a word about electrical outlets. Modern building code requires a ridiculous amount of outlets with strict rules about how far apart they should be. But here is something to watch out for. When the electricians were onsite getting reading to set the outlet boxes in the kitchen our architect sent over a layout that showed where they would go on the backsplash. He had placed them in a logical way that is fairly typical to what people do, but it looked so wrong to me. They were so prominent and were ruining the image I had in my head for the backsplashes. At first I didn't say anything because I assumed it had to do with code. But then I looked around online to see how some of our favorite kitchens handled it. So I went back to the architect and after many emails back and forth we came up with a good plan.<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">After over a year of living with those color swatches on the wall, I decided just go ahead and paint the library even though it would be torn up in a year. It was also a good experiment in what turned out to be a color and color direction we really didn't want to go in the new library. The shelves to the right of the fireplace were not replaced. I gained some additional shelf space elsewhere in the library, but I will miss this odd bit. It's where I kept most of my TBR.</td></tr>

I know, I know, it has been a long damn time since I posted anything. Why is that? How about a top 10 list?<br />
<br />
Reasons I Haven't Posted on Lucy's Forever Home for Over 2 Months<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>We moved back in on December 19th and then there was Christmas and I feel like I never got organized.</li>
<li>My job keeps me far busier than any other job I have had in about 20 years so I am a little tired when I get home.</li>
<li>Now that rooms are finished it is even harder to get photos that capture some rooms. We don't have a wide angle lens and trying to get decent angles on smaller rooms is next to impossible.</li>
<li>We have tons of decorating yet to do and don't want to show rooms that don't live up to the images we have in our head.</li>
<li>We got a giant TV that can be quite enticing.</li>
<li>I focused a fair amount of blogging energy on my book-centered blog <a href="http://myporchblog.blogspot.com/">My Porch</a>.</li>
</ol>
<br />
Well that really isn't a top 10 list is it? Maybe I have fewer excuses than I thought.<br />
<br />
Here is something to tide you over until I get my act back together.<br />
<br />
Until this past week we had a folding card table anchoring our kitchen. We had to put something there because the pendant light in the center of the room was hanging at a height that guaranteed running into it unless there was something under it. Finding the right piece of furniture can often be elusive. But when John came across this table on <a href="http://nickeykehoe.com/shop/">Nickey Kehoe's website</a>, we knew we had found the one. It met all of our kitchen table expectations: round, sturdy, solid, and simple. In fact it was like an updated version of a table that John's aunt has had in her Greenwich Village kitchen for 40+ years.<br />
<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">If you are wondering where the fourth chair is, it is down in the basement where I am working on a jigsaw puzzle.<br />I notice the floor is kind of muddy from the delivery men. At some point there will be an area rug.</td></tr>

This was a very big deal indeed. One of the most important things for us in designing our kitchen was that it have room for a table. We could have easily had a very nice island that would have been handy in many ways, but we really wanted a table to make it feel homey and give us and our guest a place to sit that was part of the action without being in the way. Ideally it would have been a great big farmhouse table but since we weren't building a great big kitchen this was never a real option.<br />
<br />
As the kitchen took shape we began to worry a bit that we weren't going to have room for a table. It seemed like it might crowd things a little too much. I got even more anxious when we committed to the location and height of the pendant light. What would happen if we couldn't actually fit a table in the room. Mapping it out to scale on paper and even having our contractor cut out a mock-up 48" circle out of fiberboard didn't given me comfort. I kept telling myself it would work but it wasn't until the table was delivered that I began to really believe it.<br />
<br />
The table at Nickey Kehoe is 50" but they did a custom 48" size for us for the same price. We began to question whether the 2" would really make a difference, especially since the store had a 50" table in stock that could have been shipped immediately, but we held on for 8 weeks while our 48" table was built and shipped. It was the right decision. The larger table might have worked but the one we got is pretty perfect.<br />
<br />
It immediately changed the feel of the kitchen. A kitchen that I already loved felt so much better and cozier. The room also feels more expansive with the table than without it. And it is wonderfully solid and sturdy. It is perfect. Incidentally, The chairs are another matter. John ordered them from Finland without having had the chance to sit on them and although they look really good, the seats are somewhat shallow and they feel just a tiny bit too small. I guess the Finns have daintier butts than Americans. Still, they were fairly inexpensive so they will be swapped out at some point.<br />

There is not much left to do. I don't know where the time went. When I started this blog I planned on doing much more in the way of process photos and explanations. But by the time things started to get really interesting, I went back to work and there just didn't seem like the time or opportunity. Still, as we get settled (in 9 days time) I am going to try and go into depth on some design elements and details.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The only things left to do are paint touch ups, replacement of a few items that were nicked, scratched, or broken, exterior hardware for three doors, screen doors...hmm maybe there are a few more things than I thought. But nothing that will keep us from being able to move in.</div>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">I love the size of this sink. No problems getting pots and pans in this one. I also think it is really good looking. It doesn't have zero radius corners (really sharp inside corners) but I prefer the little bit of curve that they have. Especially since Franke sink was only about $380 when every other sink we looked at was two or three times that amount. And if you want this particular model, you have to buy it from a big box retailer. For some reason Franke doesn't sell this version to wholesalers/contractor supplier firms. And its better looking than the ones they do sell to wholesalers.</td></tr>

</div>
I'm sure that headline must be trademarked by SNL, but I doubt there are any NBC lawyers among my readers, so I won't sweat a lawsuit.<br />
<br />
Things are reaching fever pitch at the house. We are having a walk through with our architect and our contractor on Tuesday morning so they are trying to tie up all the loose ends. It is one of those situations where it seems to get messier and messier as things get closer to done. Today while we were there they were installing door hardware, painting, and putting in more retaining wall next to the driveway since the new finish grade is quite different from that of our next door neighbor. We saw most of the plumbing fixtures in place, most of the decorative electrical fixtures, the banister has been stained, tile is up in the kitchen as are the open shelves, the exterior railing is up...you get the picture, its just too bad we didn't actually take pictures of all of that. Maybe tomorrow.<br />
<br />
So, in no particular order...<br />

Just when we thought most decisions were made little things with big consequences keep popping up. And now that I am working full time, they are especially hard to take care of. Instead of worrying about it or going into more detail, I am just going to show some pretty pictures.<br />
<br />
As with most things on this blog, I will have more to say about these gorgeous Chippendale railings, but for now I will just say they are a triumph of craftsmanship. One attempt was made to procure these custom designed railing panels from a company that specializes in such things, but in the end the design was too particular for them to pull off. So our contractors put their carpenters to work making about 16 of these modules.<br />
<br />
I thought the railings would be nice, but they are much more impressive in real life.<br />
