TRANSFORMATION TUESDAY People ask, how on earth do

TRANSFORMATION TUESDAY People ask, how on earth do you see the finished product from a parking lot of dirt? Well, you need to have a knowledge of plants and how they will mature. Second, ya have to understand proportions (not sure how one learns that part, might be innate) and thirdly, figure out how the owners are going to use it. I’ve made a name for designing pools integrated close to the house. “Aren’t pools something that you don’t want look at during the off season?” Sure, if you are still living in the 50’s or don’t know how to design them. Honey, we have choices…my garbage area has a beautiful stone walkway and is hidden from view. If you are spending millions on a house, for God’s sake, hide the damn trash, air conditioners, huge expanses of asphalt (unless you keep sexy, gorgeous cars or helicopters to look at… 😂😂😂. When I designed this property in beautiful Bardstown 10 years ago, there was pushback from the city. Now, every important visitor is shown this property and how the right way to do a garden. 💪💪💪🇺🇸 Also, NOBODY does it better than @timwintersarchitect NOBODY #carloftisstyle #ilovemyjob #gardendesigner #garden #gardening #gardensmakepeoplehappy #pool #pooldesign #poolside #urban #urbangardening #transformationtuesday #beforeandafter #bardstown #kentucky #bourbon #bourboncapital

CONGRATULATIONS to the future Mr. and Mrs. Tucker

CONGRATULATIONS to the future Mr. and Mrs. Tucker Woolum! My sweet niec-ey @elliejane13 asked me to have her engagement photos? (Hell, I don’t know it’s called, confirmed bachelor that I am) taken here at Botherum. Now, if ya know me, I’m not going to be bothered by anyone or anything, sucking up my valuable time (Botherum is the perfect name for my home and it’s been that name since 1851, of course I had to have it, just like the original kitchen next door, the JC Cock House, circa 1810) but these gals, her sister Emma Kate (she’s way too cool and private to be on IG) are dear to my heart. They are FIERCE competitors on the tennis court, ranked top 5 in the state back in the day, and I’ll never forget that one Christmas when they were little and started crawling on me like these damn cats I’ve got, Jack and Jill, from @lexingtonhumane and before you know it, I was swinging them around the living room/dance floor at the Carloftis River House. I told their parents, Brother Dusty and Toni Hart Carloftis, what a big ole mistake I had made, giving them attention, and they probably would worry the $&!?$ out of me from now on. But I LOVE it. And Daddy would be SO PLEASED to know his granddaughter was marrying a nice young man from Pineville, KY. Heard the name Woolum my whole life, like all the nice folks that Daddy liked, Asher’s, Caywood’s, Stewart’s, . And now, HAPPY to have you in the fam. 💪💃🕺 (they love to dance like all of us do!) #carloftisstyle #happy #congratulations #family #marriage #pinevilleky #kentucky #niece #athlete #fierceathlete #love #newgeneration #mrunclejon #celebrate

CHRISTMAS is the time when you can go all out, over the top, fantastic, OR you can do it simple, low key but still FESTIVE… either way is all good. My only thing, being such a NATURE person, is that I like it to feel earthy, elegant and fit with the colors in your room. Come to our 30? Christmas Open House this Friday and Saturday to learn some great tips for bringing originality into your HOLIDAY decor. See y’all this weekend! @threetoadsfarm @val_schirmer 🥰🥰🥰 #rockcastlerivertradingco #carloftisstyle #natural #christmas #christmasdecor #funtimes #freeseminars #christmasopenhouse #holiday #holidaydecor #everlastings #openhouse #family #familybusiness #goodtimes #interesting #entertaining
