Description
In 2013, designer and illustrator Michelle Mason co-founded Mason & Painter, a vintage emporium on Columbia Road in east London, a street famed for its Sunday flower market. Many of the vintage items sold in the shop are lovingly restored to sell as containers for flowers and plants. Michelle's inspiration for Flower Market: Botanical Style at Home is the wide variety of seasonal plants and flowers available right outside her shop. Buying locally and in tune with the seasons is at the heart of her philosophy.
Using salvage and reclaimed objects as props and backdrops, Flower Market: Botanical Style at Home is brimming with texture, colour, pattern, and exciting and inspiring ways to group and display flowers, plants, and succulents. In Flower Market: Botanical Style at Home, Michelle draws on her design experience, playing with shapes, colours, and textures to create combinations that work well together, blending layers of hue and pattern, to show how to make the most of fresh flower purchases and bring botanical style into the home.
Informative and engaging, and stunningly illustrated with Michelle's own photographs, this book begs to be picked up by anyone interested in the botanical world with an eye for vintage charm.
