It’s June so that can only mean one thing in Dublin…… Bloom is back! This is the 5th year of the event and it just keeps getting better and better. There were some incredible and creative gardens on show and the talent and imagination of the garden designers never ceases to amaze me.
With the arrival of summer, many people like to purchase new chairs to dress up their porch or patio. Fortunately, there are a wide variety of funky chairs in various styles and colours to add an element of liveliness to a porch or patio.
If the last few days are anything to go by, we could be in for a scorcher of a summer this year! I don’t believe that Mother Nature would be so cruel as to give us a taste of some nice weather and then deprive us of a summer yet again. So call it naive optimism or a gut feeling, but I am so sure that we are going to have beautiful weather this year that I have put together some wonderful table decorations and centrepieces to give your outdoor entertaining a touch of glam!
Having an outdoor pool in this country is a bit like having an ashtray on a motorbike. Not much use for it really. But if we did get a bit more sun in this country, I could quite easily cope with one of these off my patio….
Bloom, Ireland’s largest gardening, food and family event, takes place in the Phoenix Park Dublin during the June bank holiday weekend for 5 days (Thursday 2nd – Monday 6th June 2011). With something for everyone, visitors to Bloom 2011 can enjoy live cookery and craft demonstrations, free gardening advice from the experts and workshops. Kids attending Bloom 2011 go for free!

Hello and welcome to my Blog
My name is Karen Hughes and I'm an Interior Designer from Dublin, Ireland. I’m passionate about design and I started this blog as a way to connect with others just as passionate as myself. I tend to ramble on about all sorts of things, projects I’m working on, people, places and things that inspire me (and some that don’t). So put the kettle on, get comfy and settle in. I hope you enjoy your visit and don't forget to say hello. Visit my website to find out more about my services and view my work.Visit My Website
