Modern European Garden Hedge

Project created by Dodie Sy
A modern interpretation of a European favorite. This "Garden Hedge" styling consists of leftover Curly Willow stems anchored in a swedish wood box sprayed with Design Master Walnut Wood Tone. The Curly Willow stems are painted with Design Master Ivory then accented with sheet moss to create an organic feeling. Glass test tubes are slightly kissed with Design Master Saffron to enforce the colorscheme. Silver Dusty Miller and creamy Alstroemeria further solidifies the colorscheme.This particular arrangement can be re-used perfect for weekly office displays or a larger version for hotel lobbies and buffet tables.
