Southern Hospitality
“Having a front courtyard with seating groups for conversation feels like such a gracious way to enter this house. I love the way sunlight moves across the fretwork pattern on my outdoor furniture, creating shadows that are just magical.”[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”264562″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” onclick=”link_image”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1709582820456{margin-top: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”]
Poolside Charm
“Hable’s chaises and nesting tables for Hickory Chair, scalloped umbrellas by Serena & Lily, and bolsters in a stripe from Liberty make lounging lazily by the pool an exercise in chic,” says Amanda Smith Fowler.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”264561″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” onclick=”link_image”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1709133128229{margin-top: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”]
LIGHT FANTASTIC
“No room is complete without metallics or shine, and exterior spaces are no exception,” says Amanda. “Bevolo’s aged copper lanterns seem as if they’ve been a part of the house for years. Whether during the day or when lit for evening, they look great at the front door, around the pool, or leading into the pavilion.”
DON’T-MISS DETAIL
“In the pavilion, we adapted the tradition of painting porch ceilings haint blue, which the Gullahs believed would help ward off evil spirits,” Amanda says. “It’s also thought to deter mosquitos, and although I’m not sure that’s true, during a hot-and-humid Louisiana summer, we’ll try anything.”[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”264560″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” onclick=”link_image” css=”.vc_custom_1708465033501{padding-bottom: 50px !important;}”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1709133144943{margin-top: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”]
THE STAGE IS SET
Using tableware from Replacements, Ltd., Amanda amped up the style factor for a luncheon après swim. She layered plates in different shapes and shades of green with bamboo flatware and colorful crystal.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”264565″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]
NO MOWING REQUIRED
The turf by European Company feels soft underfoot, looks natural and green year-round, and can take the wear-and-tear of a cutthroat game of croquet. When it’s time to return to more solid ground, handcrafted pavers by Hartstone provide both texture and contrast in the front courtyard and backyard pavilion.[/vc_column_text][gem_button text=”More about Susan Hable” position=”center” style=”outline” corner=”3″ size=”medium” border=”1″ separator=”single” icon_pack=”elegant” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fflowermag.com%2Fsusan-hable-baton-rouge-showhouse-preview%2F|title:Susan%20Hable|target:_blank” text_color=”#000000″ hover_text_color=”#000000″ hover_background_color=”#ffffff” separator_weight=”1″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]
Floral Spotlight
AnnMarie Meyers of Hummingbird Floral Studio decorated the pavilion and poolside for the Baton Rouge Showhouse Gala with arches and bouquets made up of yellow and pink roses from Grace Rose Farm, tulips, and greenery. Roses floated on top of the pool for an elegant and dreamy touch.
