May Patterson Goodrum House

What have we been up to this year? Quite a lot! The silk damask was reproduced in this Spring by @prelle_cie and now graces our Library walls. Trim is going up to cover the edges and then it’s time to put the furniture back. The end of a long 3 year quest to recreate the library! #shutze #philiptrammellshutze #damask #library #maypattersongoodrumhouse #goodrumhouse

A gorgeous autumn day at Goodrum House. Counting my blessings.

Happy Birthday, Mr. Shutze! It was 130 years ago today that America’s greatest Classicist was born. I’d like to think he and May spent a few of those birthdays celebrating at Goodrum House or the Piedmont Driving Club. #shutze #philiptrammellshutze #goodrumhouse #koipond #waterlily #lotus #maypattersongoodrumhouse

Our figs are ripe! And four-legged neighbor, Rosie, said they’re the best crop ever! Thanks to Philip Shutze’s original garden design, we have 10 fig trees and an abundance of birds! #figs #clumberspaniel #shutze #philiptrammellshutze #serpentine #historicgarden #goodrumhouse #maypattersongoodrumhouse

A peek through the door of the serpentine garden and up close with our water lilies. A hot muggy morning in the garden! #goodrumhouse #maypattersongoodrumhouse #shutze #philiptrammellshutze #serpentinegarden #gladiolus #waterlilies #koipond @ May Patterson Goodrum House
