TRANSFORMATION TUESDAY We started this project one

TRANSFORMATION TUESDAY We started this project one week ago today and what could have been a boring, tiny backyard is now full of interest, intrigue, and beauty to look at 365 days a year @longshadowplanters #transformationtuesday #gardens #gardening #landscape #beforeandafter #beauty #labrador #kentucky #bourbon #longshadowplanters #containergardening #style

TRANSFORMATION TUESDAY right here at Botherum. Yep, if you have a dream, work hard enough AND water every night despite having irrigation (which can’t compete with my huge trees that control the water when it’s 95 degrees this week again) it can turn out beautifully. Taking an existing armillary and creating a four-square with @longshadowplanters Four Seasons in each corner, using the bricks found piled up in the corner, it turned out alright, don’t ya think? A perfect place to enjoy morning coffee with my Girl-Rillas before heading to work! #carloftisstyle #botherum #happy #homesweethome #home #lexingtonky #garden #gardendesigner #gardening #limestone #statuary #formalgarden #transformationtuesday #beforeandafter

HAPPY FATHERS DAY! Daddy taught, no TRAINED, us t

HAPPY FATHERS DAY! Daddy taught, no TRAINED, us to treat folks with RESPECT, wait on Momma and my 3 sisters hand and foot, take no crap from anyone and be the BEST possible person you can be. He was so STYLISH, wore his hat cocked a certain way, had his own way of wearing a tie, wore a Turquoise bracelet and Belt buckle, a leather wallet full of money,a piece e of Ginseng and a lucky Silver Dollar. What a MAN! Hoping that everyone is thinking about the Father Figures they’ve had in their life (we all have to look up to someone…it makes us what we are!💪🇺🇸) and taking care of our children, whether they are two or four legged. #carloftisstyle #daddy #father #fathersday #sunday #sundayfunday #juneteenth #respect #family #familia #love #kentucky #botherum

HAPPY FRIDAY, FOLKS! Yep, we made it through another week, and now looking forward to the bright future. Honestly, I didn’t think I could make it through the darkness, the strife and the stress these past 4 years (plus another 10 before that certainly gave me cancer) but, as the fancy Lexington lady who grabbed me yesterday while shopping at my favorite @pembertonsgreenhouses (they’ve only been in business since the 1870’s, so they just might know a thang or two…💙💙) and said, “Jon, I’m so happy for you that this is finally over and THIS was always your dream, nobody else’s, your Momma was looking down from Heaven, you better believe it!” Then, she burst into tears, and so did I… As the old Cherokee saying goes, “Never judge a man until you’ve walked in his own moccasins”. #botherum #happy #freeatlast #home #homesweethome #pool #poolside #relieved #thankful #carloftisstyle #garden #gardendesigner #friday

BUCKS COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA was where I bought my first house with @mwwattsatl back in 1990. Although located about 60 miles from both Manhattan and Philadelphia, it felt so rural. One of the big design decisions was to paint the floors high gloss white with exterior porch paint. It made the 1850’s farmhouse always feel cool, no matter how hot it was outside. Just like here at Botherum and River House where I grew up, no curtains, just bright light surrounded by lush gardens. It’s what makes me happy and look forward to each morning. How about you? Do you like this open, airy and cheerful look? #carloftisstyle #myfirsthome #homesweethome #style #clean #airy #interiordesign #garden #treehouse #buckscounty #buckscountypa #memories #summer

TRANSFORMATION TUESDAY it’s always strange to me

TRANSFORMATION TUESDAY it’s always strange to me why people used to put asphalt right up to their house or business when having a green space makes the world of difference. We did this historic home several years ago and always wanted to work on the back of the house. We took a Saw/Jackhammer and removed the asphalt and gravel below, put in good topsoil. What do you think of this makeover? It changed everything and the clients love it. BTW, this is the third ASPHALT (it’s not a rectal disorder) situation we’ve dealt with lately, knocking it out like a light! 👊💪🕺🇺🇸 @parkerplacelexington @reredevaux #carloftisstyle #beforeandafter #transformationtuesday #transformation #ilovemyjob #historic #preservation #lexingtonky #happyclients
