I love seeing the aerial photo with your plans! It is really helpful to visualize everything. 💙

[@GardeningSpirit]

I love hearing all your plans & ideas.. it's so cathartic ! The hartley is looking beautiful already. You and your mom should name a drink after the hartley and toast in there! The hartley cocktail!🤩🍸 Please send your mom our best, hope she's feeling better

[@annduffy1356]

Good morning. I was wondering if you’ve given any thought to having ornamental concrete/stone benches, much like your fountains, around the Hartley? Seems iron would get very hot in the sun and upkeep on the metal would be ongoing. Just a thought! Your flower shed is just beautiful! Thanks for sharing!

[@gracejimenez1370]

I felt like I was visiting my best friend and talking about her garden and helping organize her space. I look forward sitting with my coffee every morning and visiting your space. Thank you for sharing your life with us.

Ooh, love the idea of making a vase washing station from an old potting bench and putting it behind the cut flower shed! It would be super handy for rinsing off fruits and veggies too.

[@leighseymour235]

Just love it when you take us along on your journey. The Hartley gardens are going to be beautiful. ❤️ Regarding the interior flower shed walls, you might consider using a paint wash. It's a good medium between paint and the wood. Opaque enough to hide the orange, but sheer enough to show the wood grains.

[@risalangdon9883]

Ooohhhh, I agree that a soft muted matt (antique/ historical) green would be perfect! With white trim that will complement those gorgeous hutches would be perfection! Just love the design of those hutches.

[@IrishMist640]

Seeing the cuttings on the floor of the cut flower shed makes me so happy because it means someone is getting one of your gorgeous floral arrangements. I always enjoy the videos when you make arrangements. You're so amazingly talented. Hope your mom is doing well. 🌸❤

[@rhondafisher1733]

Everything is coming along beautifully. Love the flower shed. Of course, the Hartley is every woman's dream.

Fantastic progress! The finished product is going to be amazing and well worth the wait. Don't you give a thought to what anyone says about any of your choices - your home, your dream, your decisions!!!

[@jodiehuff318]

Adding a shelf with hangers to add dry flowers to on one of the walls would also look great!

[@doesilky]

Slow and steady wins the satisfaction of getting things done. It is going to look marvelous around the Hartley. Thanks for sharing always.

[@kathy8832]

Good morning! The area around the Hartley is going to be so beautiful. Looking forward to seeing the progression. The flower shed is looking great. You have such beautiful vases/pots and it is so organized after putting them in the hutches. That area is getting buttoned up so nicely.

[@dianequist835]

I was a fan of keep the shed interior natural, but yeah, you're correct. The color is offsetting now that I'm seeing the room in use. Make it YOU, Laura! Everything is looking wonderful.

[@GlasshouseandGarden]

You paint that wood girl! No one needs orange pine in their lives… not since 1979! Love the video… you inspired me to get a larger glasshouse and, although I’ve purposed mine a bit differently to your Hartley plans, I’ve incorporated ‘living’ space so it has some conservatory vibe as well. Thanks for your amazing videos and taking us all on the journey!

[@angiehorn3280]

Having a front row seat to having your dreams come true feels special to me. Thanks for sharing it with us. I love and you and your beautiful family so much. Hope your mom is healing nicely.

[@helenjubert4744]

I love the shed. It's so cozy and efficient with a cottage feeling.

[@cindyking9813]

You might want to consider colored wood stain instead of paint for your wood walls in cutting shed. There is a beautiful shade of dusky green that would look pretty.

[@risalangdon9883]

I still think that the back formal area that you've never been able to decide what to do with, would make for a very magical sunken garden. Could even incorporate a romantic grotto / folly / Vista and water feature. I'm sure Claus could be of help to you. His garden is amazing.

[@alw5101]

That sounds beautiful!

[@janetbrown1521]

Iike the idea of a rose garden there.

[@lisacanaday7887]

Love that idea of a folly! A partially built brick wall that looks like an old walled garden or ruin perhaps?

[@themamabearlife3339]

💕💜 Everything looks like it's coming together, that must feel really good. Glad you found some lights that you're happy with (I like them too...). For your missing pegs (for your shelf), those are standard, & easy to find. So you may want to buy a package of them so you have extras, instead of searching for the missing ones in your house.

[@tricna]

The green that’s in the decorative wall paper would look perfect inside the walls of cut flower shed 💚💚💚

[@kathysmith2541]

I am impressed with the plans!! The Hartley looks so much like a conservatory in England! An orangery if you will. 💕💕

[@ms.lisasplants5374]

On the new patio if you put a raised bed you should put in some sort of evergreen as the centerpiece then at Christmas Aaron could put lights on it and y’all can decorate it. Imagine Benjamin and Samantha walking out to see a huge Christmas tree on their patio.

[@lisasantoro4724]

that would be cool! so many options! hard to decide I'm sure. I also loved the hydrangeas.

[@rebeccameador6675]

What about just whitewashing the interior of the cut flower shed?? It would still allow some of the beautiful wood grain to show but cut the orange hue. Love the old table with the Tiffany blue paint.

[@amypitts-knous2531]

Never apologize for being long winded!! We love hearing about all of your thought processes! It really helps those of us designing our first gardens!!!

First, the snap dragons only in a vase was pretty. Everything Laura is turning out so pretty. That Hartley is a pleasure to look at.

[@be_you2023]

Hi Laura, Your vision is beautiful! There is a lovely balance of flow and symmetry, with so much interest in each garden room. I feel it is sometimes hard to convey what a creator sees in their mind, but you did a fabulous task of it. Looking forward to the development and adjustments as you make progress on your design. PS: Just a couple of tiny suggestions for your flower shed, which I hope are in line with your vision: have you thought about “white washing” your walls in your colour of choice - that way you will keep some of the beautiful veins of the wood and achieve a softer look you need in photos. The wallpaper is beautiful. Once the walls are painted, you can always line the back of your armoires with the wallpaper and it will still feature beautifully in this room.

[@wugambina]

I get wanting the benches but the placement doesn't create a place for conversation. I would also go with a slimmer console table. I think that round table will suck up the space and make it tighter than anticipated...especially when you're actually sitting there. Getting around the chairs might be tough. But of course none of this means a hill of beans...your Hartley, do what you want.

[@folee_edge]

I'm not one for formality in the garden, but I am starting to appreciate the use in your garden. I may or may not be mimicking some of your tricks, but I cannot confirm or deny at this juncture. 😊

[@debbysgambelluri4126]

Thank you so much for sharing your vision ... the Hartley is so close to being done and now I can totally picture what you and Aaron will be doing with the surrounding gardens ... I can hardly wait to see it all develop and grow! I also love seeing the little glimpses of your evenings and off time with Benjamin and Samantha Grace, they are so sweet. I also want to share why I love your channel so much ... you and Aaron talk like we're in a room together and you're talking directly to me. It feels so personal ... of course, I know you aren't. ;) You and Aaron are truly gifted and appreciated. Thank you for ALL that you do and share!

Most of us loved the outside in sage, so inside sage will work also. Or a heavy whitewash on the bare wood. I understand the orange glow from the raw wood isn't ideal for.videos. You never do harsh, so we aren't worried!

I would leave it just the way it is.

Why not keep a kangaroo bag in the cut flower shed to toss your clippings into while you do your arrangements? It will make clean-up much easier.

[@becky341]

Laura, remember why you went with the knotty pine. It’s beautiful! Whitewash it white, because any type of application using a green color will make you look, 👽 lol As for the cement floor, a sealer will make it easier to clean and prevent staining. You always make us feel included and that your listening. ❤️

[@130crowd]

Consider an epoxy paint for your concrete floor. Will repel stains, easy to clean, and attractive !

[@rondatignor2300]

I was thinking the same thing..also much easier to do now in an almost bare room.

[@sarahwisnewski7611]

A light Robin egg blue would be lovely with the white hutches and set off any plants you have in there. It would represent the sky and the plants the earth. I’m very envious - but in a good way. I so enjoy all the videos. It’s fun watching someone spend money😊.

[@kathleenhaskett7438]

Good morning. Just a thought. How about white washing the wood in the cut flower shed. It would tone down the orange wood color but you would still be able to see the grain of the wood.

[@prettyinspireddecor6787]

Thank you for the update on the Hartley and the Cut Garden Shed. It is always fun to see your vision and to see the infrastructure for the sprinkler system. No matter what you do, it always turns out both pretty and functional. I look forward to the journey surrounding both spaces. Thank you for inspiring us.

[@sf55514]

You could use stain on the walls in the cut flower shed though paint would look good as well. Have you considered cream colors? You have been going non stop all season. It is good to get updates on the current dust bowl around the Hartley. Thanks. You could leave the doors open to the hutches in the cut flower shed. That way it's easier to see the goodies inside!

[@janetbrown1521]

I like the stain idea. Maybe lightly colored.

[@elliebee2012]

Laura, this process is so fun to watch! I’ve tried so many new thing from watching your videos, even though I have gardened for many years! Enjoy your day!

[@Brightwatereq]

Looks beautiful! Just wanted to say in case you didn’t know or no one else mentioned. Take a look at the bottom of candles you are burning. A lot of glass candles shouldn’t be burned for more than a few hours at a time or they may shatter. I wouldn’t want it to shatter and hurt anyone who might be near by. The sticker at the bottom will usually say how long is safe to burn for.

[@gretchenburton7184]

Also if a candle is left unattended, an accident could happen, like a cat getting inside and knocking it over or could be anything...the thought that a led candle would be much safer at night came to mind when she mentioned looking at the flickering flame at night from the house. Made me cringe.

[@VMCCompany]

[@PrinceLeigh]

She has real decision making problems, doesn't she? I mean some of the things she has had done could have been completed ages ago! And I understand she can take as much time as she wants because it's her property but my Lord. You took the time (A LOT OF TIME, MONTHS & MONTHS) scouring the internet & stores for the perfect lights....(LIGHTS PEOPLE)....for the potting shed and you come across some that you really like, so you order them. You then have to wait for them to be delivered, and when they arrive you leave them sitting in the boxes for weeks because you're no longer sure if they're to your liking...sighhhh! 🤦🏾‍♂🙄 I honestly don't see how Aaron has the patience to put up with something like that lol.

[@wendycole703]

I luv the cut flower shed it's so pretty with all the pots and the table can't wait to see it this fall and winter

[@codeewilliams9821]

Just had the epiphany watching June 2018 garden tour and this one at the same time. You could place your black benches from the formal garden porch outside the Hartley, gives you style and multiples. Do love the rocking one currently in it's place, can you tell the brand again? ETA- The iron gate from prior triangle garden would be stunning as the new land entry. Keep on, keeping on you're doing a beautiful, graceful display of gardening! 💚👍👩‍🌾

You have such a flair for "pretty". Loved how you arranged everything. Enjoy your day.

[@trudiebason6230]

I love your videos, watch you consistently. Do you know "Flower Hill Farm" youtube, great gal that works very hard at her Flower Farm and just recently bought a very broken down Nursery in her Village, (town). I watch her sporadically. You two are so different in style, climate, probably experience, but you are spot on the same when it comes to your work ethics, family and heart. She was so embarrassed because tears fell as she was announcing her purchase of this awful Nursery, a dream for her. If you have never seen her, please take the time to ck her out and offer some advice, encouragement, whatever? I don't have a dog in this fight, just think gardeners/entrepreneurs should stick together God Bless.

so many awesome projects going. can't wait to see the structure around the Hartley go in this fall. I would do a soft spring green in the cut flower shed. it would be beautiful and have a calming cooling effect. it would also be much better for filming.

[@conniecoolbaugh4823]

Hey Laura here's an IDEA... You can take that gorgeous green vintage print, thick paper, glue it smooth and tight to a large sheet of Luanne (thin wood), frame with a neutral color to match the chairs, hang between the 2 cupboards, then... inside you can randomly, hang tilted framed small photos, more colorful of maybe memorable moments of the children in the flower gardens, cats and / or photos of the cutting flower gardens, progressing over the years. I would make the vintage green paper as large as you can possibly get it ! Kind of a really neat focal point and bring about some neat conversations and share time with all who enter in. Blessings from Lancaster County, Pennsylvania !

[@thegardnersgarden]

It is amazing seeing how everything is coming together. It is nice that you don't have to rush and just let everything kind of organically come together.

[@inthrutheoutdoor5849]

Laura, you now have an "Estate". You need to name it kind of like Martha Stewart names all of her Estates.... Turkey Hill Farm, Cantitoe Corners.... With the Hartley, the British name their estates as well.

[@donnapudwill9908]

Love, love, love all of this! It’s really starting to look great. A couple of ideas for the shed - maybe a small glass front fridge for cold drinks. And a small enclosed set of doors/cabinet on the back of the shed to store tools? Finally, maybe consider cutting a small door on the back wall somewhere for easy access to the back of the shed so you don’t have to always walk around. Just some thoughts.

[@jeangurnee]

A secret door maybe? Use one of the hutches and hinge it...

[@renateheyner6643]

Anyone else massively impressed with that dustpan?

[@AttnDefDis_]

Ooh, I love the formality around the Hartley. Can't wait to see it come together. Why not go with a semi-trans stain on the flower shed walls? That way you can change the color, but let the beauty of the wood shine through. If you're gonna paint, you could've just gone with drywall. Much cheaper.

[@joemcdaniel6341]

Yes, respect the beauty of the wood with a semi-transparent light green wash. Painting that interesting wood pattern would be criminal giving you the boring look of drywall.

[@jeannehicks4339]

I would like to put in my two cents worth on paint color--Spring Lilac by Benjamin Moore. I's a soft color and should be good for skin tones when filming. Also, Rock Harbor Violet (also Benjamin Moore). It is almost a gray but not quite.

[@JermaineGertse]

Beautiful, Id love the painted look

[@rachelrobinson6512]

Love love love your cut flower shed!!! Maybe a light whitewash to keep the wood grain would help you love the space. So much character ♥️

[@georgekoutsoudopoulos]

it just proves that those greenhouses are not meant to have a kitchen worktop in them, but at the end of the day if you want it...then you have to put up with the aesthetic intrusion and space hogging. Call me old fashioned but I'd rather see some nice vintage staging for pots which ironically could have similar legs to Laura's counter. But with three tables it will be like a furniture showroom. Let's see some plants in there soon, please. Love the formality and symmetry of the design outside the greenhouse...probably makes a good case for keeping the existing box nearby and maybe just repairing the damaged fountain.

[@w.bovgvereav5761]

I Agree ... Four (4) Table/Counter Surfaces, Each Piece Being Of A Substantial Size And Of A Different Style ... Is Too Much For The Space Given Inside The Hartley.
