This past weekend I was lucky enough to be able to attend the St. Martin’s Autumn Home Tour. While all the homes had wonderful style and beauty, my favorite stop was the final stop, the garden. The Martz Garden was hosting an afternoon tea and lunch. The yard, from the lush lawn to the towering cypress trees, was an amazing expanse of greenery.
Paul Rokovich Designs was the designer. I loved what he had designed around the pool. It made me feel like I had entered a resort where lounging is the only requirement. Oh to take a vacation in your own backyard, now that would be perfect.
After the tour was over, I came home to reassess my own home and yard. I suppose that is what a home tour should do. Make you want to step it a bit. Inspire you to create that ultimate space where family and friends gather. And with the Holidays slowing creeping up on us that is what I intend to do.
Thanks to all the designers, shops and parents of St.Martin’s who donated time and goods to put on this parade of homes. You have all inspired me.
