Design Update with Inviting Spaces by Kim
Eye of the Day’s large rectangular Italian terra cotta planters, the Delos, were installed recently to add impact, structure and curb appeal to the entrance of a home with an overgrown, out of proportion boxwood border.
The planters provided a win- win situation when combined with the ability to peer out each of the four windows from the living room and dining room with views of the beautiful seasonal flowers at window level.
The choice of the Delos by Kim Beber Perlmutter of Inviting Spaces by Kim was made when she saw that the vertical pattern on the planters echoed the pattern on the entrance pillars of her client’s Georgian style home, giving the impression that they were specifically designed for the space.

Creating Inviting Spaces For Any Time of Day
A great landscape person.
Let us not forget that, after Olmsted’s first two major projects, Central Park in New York City and Prospect Park in Brooklyn, Olmsted designed the nation’s very first park and parkway system for Buffalo in 1868. Far more ambitious than his previous two commissions, the ideas Olmsted originated in Buffalo—of a series of parks interconnected by parkways (another of his inventions), all serving as a foundational framework for urban design and city planning—informed all of his later work, and were at least as important, arguably moreso, than any of his other contributions.

He did the same for Louisville Ky.
