Guy Blume Design- Gardens & Interiors

This is a chair I recently had recovered for a client. More pictures of the rest of the room to come!

Another view of the office in Encino that I recently refreshed.

A small potted garden installation I did on the balcony of an office in encino

A shot of the interior of the office I've been designing in the Bradbury Building. I used vintage steel desk that were restored and painted in a custom color.

This is a bookcase I designed for a client. I think it is very elegant! Could you see it in your home?

I'm going to be working on the design of an office suite in the Bradbury Building. I'm excited to be working in such an important Los Angeles landmark.

Flagstones going down in a garden I designed. This one is an amazing transformation!

I am grateful to all my charming gardners!

I'm looking at some plant combinations for a garden. I love the sculptural shape of this Coral Tree with the native California fuchsia 'Select Mattole'. Orange trunk of the tree bark with the orange flowers is quite lovely!

I've dropped the word interior from my business name and changed it to Guy Blume Design-Gardens & Interiors. I'm not just about interiors anymore! This is my new logo.It's based on a Chinese chop. Take a look at my new web page too!

This is a garden I'm working on in Pasadena. I was able to repurpose some stone they had into cobbles and stone cairns. A few more plants need to go in and the mulch. The large tree is an avocado that was stressed out and dying from lack of water and drought. I think it will come back with some regular water. WE NEED TO SAVE OUR TREES! Trees provide shade and reduce the heat. They provide habitat for animals and clean the air. They even provide food for us. Please remember that our trees need some water too. They make our life in the city better .

I bought this couch at an estate sale in 1991 for $300. It was designed by Milos Baughmann for Stendig, a Swiss Company, in the 1970's. It was called the Alpha. It has the original upholstery from the 1970's. I just sold it at auction for $2,000. Fine furniture keeps it's value and it is important to have a good eye!
