TRANSFORMATION TUESDAY Welcome to the jungle, baby

TRANSFORMATION TUESDAY Welcome to the jungle, baby! When we bought BOTHERUM, there were several families of RACCOONS living in the basement, sleeping all day and pillaging the neighborhood trash cans and pet bowls every night, then crawling back through a broken window. I wouldn’t go down there without Lily Carloftis or a Gun. But because of the stone walls and floors, was afraid to shoot at them because at my 1850’s Bucks County, PA farmhouse, I did that when a family got in the basement terrorizing the farm cats and a bullet almost grazed my ear... my first thought was thinking how Momma would have been told I killed myself, when really was just shooting raccoons in self defense! And when they were finally taken away to a better place (let’s don’t bring it up on a day of Peace and Love 😩😂) we started cleaning up, Re-pointing the walls, getting the fireplace up and going @barnhillchimney and made a Speakeasy, Poker/Cigar Room, Pool Hall/Darts and a Bedroom that will make you sleep 12 hours it’s so comfy and quiet. Having this extra space is so much fun to go from game to game (the pool table is a Snooker Table from the 1800’s and after 10 minutes I’m bored and want to throw darts or knives) Do you have a place on your property that could be turned into something cool? #speakeasy #botherum #poolhall #darts #party #funtimes #goodtimes #poker #cards #happyplace #renovation #restoration #joncarloftisfinegardens

GARDENS are meant to be shared... I’ve had this

GARDENS are meant to be shared... I’ve had this Orange Clivia for almost 25 years now, and blooms profusely each year around June (for Momma’s 90th birthday it decided to bloom inside, mind you, on Valentines Day!!! ) but this year hardly bloomed at all. So, we split up and giving the extra plants to very special clients and friends. It’s so easy to overwinter inside and now others will get to appreciate it like I have all these years. (Note: When giving a plant to someone, I always tell them that there is no pressure, don’t be worried if it dies because that’s last thing you want to throw on somebody) #garden #clivia #gardens #gardening #sharethewealth #flower #flowers #flowersofinstagram #orange #joncarloftisfinegardens #friends

ROOM WITH A VIEW Bought this little chair for $85

ROOM WITH A VIEW Bought this little chair for $85 for the Girl-Rillas to have another chair-rie to sleep on, but (funny I used that word), their butts were too big for it. So, I put it outside facing the Vegetable Garden and loving how it blends with all the fall colors. #roomwithaview #makeitwork #fall #garden #gardens #gardening #gardenlife #gardenideas #gardentips #botherum #nature #gertrudefisher #lilycarloftis #labrador #labradorretriever #labsofinstagram

PRIDE. Unlike interior designers, when the project

PRIDE. Unlike interior designers, when the project is finished, other than sun fading fabrics, daily wear and tear from pets or children, it essentially can stay the same for decades. Outdoors, you can build the most beautiful garden and if someone doesn’t maintain it, it can go to hell within a week if the irrigation goes off in the heat of summer. Last night, attended the Chef’s Table in the Wine Room as a guest of Greg Martelli who actually built the Apiary. Walking in to see the matured gardens in all their glory and exactly how I had envisioned it, built it and installed it, made me beam with PRIDE. The Vaughan family never cease to impress me with their STYLE, DEDICATION to EXCELLENCE and just being the COOL people that make LEXINGTON the JEWEL of the world in many people’s opinion. Since the pandemic has put a damper on large events, Cooper Vaughan switched gears, opened OMAGE with a wait list a mile long and is SPECTACULAR on every level. MIND BLOWING, really. And when people say, “Well, so and so has been LUCKY” about successful people and businesses...really don’t know shit. Luck may get you in the door (I was fortunate to have parents that taught me manners, to tell the truth always, do what you say you are going to do and strive for the BEST, but you have to WERK BITCH to be SUCCESSFUL 💪🇺🇸) Here’s to all the HARD WORKING people out there that make the world a better place! What do you think about this space downtown Lexington? @apiaryfinecatering @maynardstudios @matthewcarterinteriors @eoparchitects @visitlex @keeneland @breederscup #garden #gardens #gardening #gardendesign #joncarloftisfinegardens
