HOME & GARDEN: VERTICAL GARDENS, PERSONALIZED SPACES AND THE COLOUR BLUE

The overarching themefor our first annual
trends issue is personalized space. Whether you
ditch your formal living room or plant veggies
in a rusted steel planter, the emphasis is on individual style. This month’s cover features a French
provincial theme turned on its head as envisioned
by BC Home & Garden art director Susan MintonGreen with help from the design team at A Good
Chick to Know and assistant art director Felice
Bisby. A Louis chair covered in vibrant, patterned
fabric alongside bolts of textiles and a baby-blue
pouf chair nails the top home trends as identified by our assistant editor, Kristen Hilderman.
