Kelly Brown garden room

Now that the Richmond Symphony Orchestra League's 2010 Designer House tours are over, it's possible to dig up photos of the spaces online. Here are a few shots of my favorite room -- a "garden room" just off the kitchen, designed by Kelly Brown. (Photos courtesy of Kelly's Facebook page.)

Yes, that's a living wall installation flanking the door into the kitchen. And the gorgeous table was designed and hand crafted by Christopher Hildebrand of Tektonics Design Group -- a really nice guy who I had the pleasure of meeting and chatting with in this very room. He told me all about the huge old tree from which the table was made, how the design was inspired by the traditional picnic table form, and how the bronze legs were made from recycled plumbing fittings.
