The stage was set - this was where all of the talks took place this week Antiques at the Gardens • Birmingham and it could not have been prettier.
Bunny Williams gave the loveliest compliment to all who were involved in making this area beautiful this morning when she said “I would be happy if this was my own living room“
Our handpainted landscape mural made its debut here, and we don’t even have a name for it yet! Please give me your thoughts for a great title for it in your comments.
It is a soft sepia design inspired by a tiny charcoal drawing I saw at auction years ago – I expanded on the scene with views I love - staircases, statues, fountains and hilltop villages I’ve taken photographs of in Italy.
Thank you so much annieschlechter for these gorgeous photos, and for the Antiques at the Gardens 2026 Chairs. You were all a dream to work with, and I’m happy to know you all:

So many fabulous vendors and volunteers came together to make this 20th anniversary very special.
Please check the photo for all tags. Forgive me if I forgot anyone. Beautiful design, and splendid events like this truly take a village to create! A special thank you to Gracie’s very own Elizabeth Barnes Jones who made sure each and every design detail was perfect 💕 - you are the best!
Thank you, Birmingham, and the Gardens, for making us feel so welcome.
