A visit to artist Katie James’ artist’s house and garden - jewel colours and a rich palette x
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 апр 2024
- Very inspired by last week's visit to Rachel Ashwell's house and her focus on her colour palette I thought it would be fun to have a visit to this contrasting house, with a stronger palette, where my friend artist Katie James lives.
The garden here, a typical, long, narrow, suburban London garden, was completely empty but for the large, clipped bay tree, when Katie moved back in with her parents during her mother's last illness.
Over the past five years Katie has transformed the garden, creating this beautiful wild patch where today the tulips are dancing in a jewel carpet. Katie's eye for colour has been applied indoors too, so that while keeping some of her mother's choices, like the wonderful Colefax and Fowler curtains in the dining room, Katie's added touches of her own clever way with colour.
I hope you enjoy this clip. I love this house not just because of the warmth of the welcome whenever I visit, but because wherever I look there's something interesting to see. There's a lovely story about Katie's radio at the end: her much missed mother is clearly not very far away.
Enjoy! xxx

What a wonderful home!
No airs and graces, no big flash money,
No pretentiousness anywhere,
Just the content of heart and soul.
This is a home to enjoy just by looking at
All the eclectic precious objects.
The garden reflects the same ,
Simply beautiful, thank you for showing
Us.
my pleasure - glad you enjoyed it x
Oh I loved Katie’s house and garden, it was like so many houses of friends and family, so much interest, so much colour, a real home. Thankyou so much Katie for allowing us in and Georgie for having the idea in the first place! Xx
you're so welcome - I love her carpet of tulips in her little wild patch x
I love your house and garden tours. I would love to see more of your home, garden and the beautiful clothes you were wearing while visiting your neighbours. Sue from New Zealand. ❤
Outside here in Eastern Newfoundland Canada today is a mixture of snow, ice pellets, and rain - watching this video was a true form of escapism as a result :) Proof that you don't need a huge garden to create a beautiful space!
glad you enjoyed it x
The idea of "continuing the conversation with my mom" via the curtains & other facets really resonates with me 💖
it's lovely isn't it x
That was the most delightful visit, thank you! The luxurious garden and then, at the end, an artist studio! Just what I would like to have. I’m astounded that she could take a plain, long, backyard, and make it like a little paradise. So homey, just beautiful.
glad you enjoyed it x
What a gorgeous home and garden! As a thrifter/hoarder, I found it a wonderful journey through the home and garden, taking note of the colour combinations and unusual ways she displays her treasures. Thank you for taking us along!
you're welcome x
I should have waited to comment at theq end Absolutely love her home and how Katie incorporated her family into her home so Beautiful such wonderful memories
thank you so much - glad you enjoyed it x
What a clever, gifted artist. The wonderful footage soothed my soul. ❤

Katie's house and garden is a delight....Full of love and colour. My cup of tea! ❤
glad you enjoyed it x
Oh what a great house with so much history and feeling, and then that deep garden...amazing!
it is an amazing place x
What a treat!
I so admire such creative people and that they are kind enough to allow us a peek into their beautiful homes and gardens.
Thankyou.
you're so welcome x
Wow. Her garden is fantastic. The little rooms and the views through arches, so beautiful. And I wish I were nearby to buy her paintings--those tulips!! ❤️ Thank you for taking us along with you.
you're so welcome x
Thank you Georgie and especially Katie! A wonderful visit to Katie's house and garden, such a treat! It was like when you are totally lost in a book and the story line ... fabulous!
ah thank you so much x
I want the tulip painting. Wait. I want that whole place! What talent.
Isn’t it a wonderful spot x
An artists house indeed. Beautiful.
glad you enjoyed it x
Love the colour palette and the eye Katie has for placement and creating spaces that mirror life as art . Wonderful video, thank you, very inspiring.❤
Thank you so much! x
Thank you Katie, for inviting us into your beautiful house and garden ♥️🌷💜🌷♥️
you're welcome x
@@theflowerfarmer great filming too.
Loved the home and garden tour. Worth $25 and I didn’t have to leave my easy chair. Loved the discussion of color and the use of blue in the garden.
glad you enjoyed it x
Such a beautiful feminine garden with so many joyful touches. Thanks to the lovely Katie for allowing us into her sanctuary. Her love of family is so apparent. I did like the Swiss 🇨🇭 element having lived in Switzerland during my late teens. An absolute treasure and so inspiring. I adore earthy colours and my absolute favourite is teal\turquoise which I have in all my paintings. If I had to choose a palette it would be olive green,yellow ochre,raw sienna and teal with touches of Paynes grey and gold. My current obsession is collecting Wade Whimsies to remind me of my dear great grandmother who used to let me play with her collection. Gosh this video has sparked so many memories 🤗🎨📖🇨🇭
so lovely - glad you enjoyed it x
Your always a pleasure to spend time with, thank you for another lovely visit💗💚💗
you're welcome x
From a Psychotherapist and Artist, the house is just perfect!!! I have also purchased my late mother's house and re-adapting is definitely a careful and creative process.
thank you so much x
So great to see something beautiful but not perfectly maintained makes beauty seem more accessible to the rest of us. Thank you
you're welcome x
I loved this video. Katie's garden and home are stunning. Her repeated use of colour indoors and outdoors is so satisfying!
she's so clever isn't she x
This was wonderful! Thank you so much for sharing Katie and her fabulous garden. I'm a recent widow which is a very unsettled feeling most of the time, yet I feel like I spent some of my day in wonderful company. Very much looking forward to enjoying my garden once it warms up a bit here.
You are so welcome! x
I am inspired to try a gallery wall with all kinds of art . Amateur,professional, made by our kids or cats,and family fotos and treasures tossed in.Feather,moss, you name it. Inspired. My color palate? I loveso many colors but Orange seems to be taking over my life.I have a bright blue spray painted table , it brightens up the far end of the yard, now I think I need more of this. Thank you Katie and Georgie!
Go for it! x
Forgot to say....beautiful works of art by Katie!!!!!
We agree! x
Absolutely charming
thank you x
Such an inspiring mish-mash of colour. ❤ it!
so glad you did enjoy x
I never meet a green I didn’t love…it’s the perfect neutral to every other color. Look out your window, Mother Nature knows what she’s doing. 😊🌷💐. Thank you for sharing this lovely ladies home…hello from Midwest USA.

❤wild and beautiful
yes it is x
The garden is lovely. Inside I love the curtains and tulips in the window with gondola with the mice.
I love all the little details too x
Good morning from western Massachusetts in the USA!! I what a beautiful garden and lovely home ❤🌷😊 I do love purple and blue and green on the outside garden with hints of pinks and yellows. In the house though, my style is primarily a golden brown with mustard yellow,navy blue with some black. I like the idea of using primative antiques mixed together as I am fond of them. Have a lovely day 😊🌷
thank you Della and have a lovely day you too x
I really enjoy your special visits ☺️
thank you x
Thank you for a beautiful video. I so enjoyed it.
Greetings from Ireland.☘️
you're so welcome x
Fascinating. A most beautiful presentation of Katie's garden, and delicious interior colours, paintings, soft furnishings, and knick-knacks. Quite cinematic in parts, and like a friendly welcome into an intimate space. Thank you for such a refreshing sojourn. Yes, it's quite interesting to notice how one's own colour palate develops, I've recently realized how much of the emerald greens and peacock blues I have dotted about my home, just by collecting and displaying items that have taken my fancy. Blessings and Love.
greens and peacocks are lovely together x
What a lovely treat! It's so like my house and garden here in America. My friends just don't get it but its my way of feeling like I'm in the UK ❤❤!! You have such amazing friends. Thanks so much for being who you are!
So nice of you - glad you enjoyed it x
Love Love Love Katies garden and house filled with family memories. I will share with my bestie girlfriend next weekend when she comes to stay, as her house is similar although she will tell you she's not artistic.
I think we're all artistic at heart x
Just beautiful! The garden, home, story telling, art and friendship! Thank you both for sharing.

my pleasure x
Loved the tour
thank you x
How inspiring : ) I just loved, loved this video. Katie’s garden and home interior are so beautiful. I do love Rachel Ashwell’s palette (as per your last video), as I have five of her books, but Katie’s palette, her Art, her mixture of patterns and that eclectic, ‘lived in’ and very English home environment are more suited to my style and personality. I have to say (in a nice and respectful way), you and Katie look very similar, almost sister like in appearance.Thank you for this aesthetically pleasing and enjoyable video 🌱
lol - Katie and I have been friends for over 25 years and we do both like a good knitted jumper x
@@theflowerfarmer 😊
Wow Thank you so much, her house is so cosy, and as for her garden, its lovely but as im an artist , her art studio would be my dream
yes the studio's amazing isn't it x
Great Fun!
thank you x
You have an amazing pallet reds my favourite colour x
I love red too (see my glasses!) x
Thank you Katie, for letting Georgie show us round your lovely eclectic home. Bluey green is by far the best colour of green, and your palette is lovely. Your paintings are beautiful.
thank you xxx
Katie's home is absolutely beautiful, I really enjoyed the video. I think my colour palette in the house is similar, I actually have the same colour green in my kitchen. I do like red as well as its warm. With clothes I tend to go for blue.
lovely xxx
I really enjoyed this video and loved the beautiful garden and home of your artist friend, Katie ( my granddaughter is also Katie🥰)
I’m in the US but I really love English gardens and beautiful country side. I watch “Escape to the country” and I truly think England and Great Britain as a whole are so beautiful . Your question about color….I use three main colors in my home: mossy greens, yellow ochre and a brownish red. I really like the jewel tone flowers in Katie’s garden. Thank you for such an interesting and fun video.
What beautiful smiles you both have🥰🌷🥰
thankyou for watching - glad you enjoyed it x
Thank you Georgie for taking us on a fieldtrip to Katies garden n Art studio was just wonderful so beautiful
you're so welcome x
Now Georgie I need to have a serious word with you.🧐
When your filming sometimes and getting excited, your moving your camera too quickly …..!!!
We require more time.
Delightful visit and unusual , thank you !
ok - and I'll try and get the camera the right way round too! x
Thx, so much fun!! I do,share the same color palate as Katie and I,never tire of it. My sunroom has the raspberry, plums. Corals and pinks and the walls are rye grass green and my pots and chairs in my garden are that pop of blue. My garden is so full of things growing now, I’m not sure what’s a flower and what’s a weed. I love your videos. I need an update on your fabulous Mom.😊
sounds gorgeous x
Love the way Katie uses meaningful family photos & relics as decor. Great vibe! No junk from Hobby Lobby! Lol Her aesthetic feels very English to me, or at least how I always imagine quaint & historic English homes to be when I read about them in books (from my home in America 😉). Especially the lovely curtains! The great old English novels always have much ado about the proper curtain fabric. Quintessential! And hers are so on-point! Hope we get to see more of Katie & her lovely home & garden. So inspirational! 🌿
I'm sure there'll be more x
Love Katie's design and style of her yard and house it gives me inspiration , very organic and wild..just my taste! My pallette is ever growing😁
love it x a growing palette x
This was great! So many beautiful and wonderful colors and ideas!
Glad you enjoyed it! x

Love the variety of your clips at home in your garden, in studio, visiting your mom and taking lovely field trips! Would also love seeing more of your arrangements in situ.
mostly my work ends up at private houses which I can't film as I don't think my clients would like it x
Absolutely love the colors within this garden! I also love the stronger colors. What a talented lady in so many ways.
Thank you for a thoroughly delightful video!
you're very welcome x
