Lattice and Lace

There is often something quite beautiful - or at least photogenic - about neglect. The side of this house was completely covered in vines. I loved the contrast of the orderly lines of the wood siding, the graceful lace curtains and the organic growth of the vines.

Oh this, this, I like this...so super, Lisa. Adore the decay, the textures the lace and the creeping wild. A mega fav!
