Kathy Marshall’s Garden Party

Designer Kathy Marshall loves to travel. She centered this garden room around a folk-art painting she discovered on one of her sojourns in the South. “It’s not expensive, but there’s something so charming about it,” she says. Paintings aren’t the only thing she picks up during her travels. When she’s in Europe—or driving around rural New England, for that matter—she is always on the lookout for interesting pieces of pottery. “I love the mash of old, new, and modern,” she says. “It gives a room like this balance and makes it welcoming.”
