  • Hi babe!! Come along with us as we explore Terrain, a beautiful magical plant store. I don’t even feel right calling it a “store” because it is so much more. We actually stumbled upon this place by accident shopping for fireplace stuff across the street.
    We not only look for plants for the garden but also browse through the interior plant selections. This place is incredible! Really it’s a work of art filled with inspiration. If you like biophilic (definition below) design and decor, if home is your sanctuary, then you are sure to be inspired! We also stop for a beautiful, healthy lunch in the Terrain Cafe. Seriously, this is Jerry’s kind of place!
    “Biophilic design is a concept in the building industry that aims to increase people's connection to nature through the use of space, place, and direct and indirect nature. It's based on the idea that people are connected to nature and not separate from it. Biophilic design can help people experience nature and feel part of it, even in crowded cities.” (Source: Space Refinery)
    Terrain’s locations are limited to the east coast and west coast; however, you can shop for most items online. If you’re a decorator or a designer, they also have a Trade Program.

    Terrain is also having an amazing sale this Labor Day weekend. PS this video is not sponsored, we genuinely fell in love with this place ❤️ Hope you get inspired too!
    Remember darling, when we nurture our home, our home truly nurtures is right back.
    Sending you so much love from NY 😘

    Thank you for the tour! I have often admired Terrain’s beautiful items online but I would never get the opportunity to visit in person. I really enjoyed pretending I was wandering around with you and Jerry for the day, gasping over all the beautiful plants. I love your videos where you’re doing something a little different. 😊

    I love these kinds of places. And you made me smile with your enthusiastic reactions to all the beautiful things you saw. When I shop for my balcony, mostly May/June, I always buy more then I planned. And I have a very small balcony. I love that I have this small space. It brings me great joy that my rosemary plant already survived 4 winters and is still growing. Yes, it makes me feel connected with nature and it helps me to feel balanced and peaceful. Even on less than 5 sqm. You have to know that I was born and raised in the countryside, so nature is important to me. Love the pots and grasses you bought. Please show us where you place them. Jerry and you enjoying a meal there, reminds me of the joyful moments with my boyfriend, when we go out to eat something, or have a drink somewhere. It's the little things. Thank you and have a blessed week!

      Hi Nicole 🤗 Those pots so are beautiful and the price is very reasonable compared to what we see at the other plant shops in our neighborhood. We felt like we scored big time! I’ll keep you posted on Instagram with how they tuned out. So pretty!!! We just came back from round two!

    I love that Jerry is part of your videos and that he doesn't mind going shopping. You are both such an awesome couple. Thanks for bringing us along. I used to live in Ct. and I miss some of the shopping ; especailly in Westport. I have a garden center in N.H., but it's not as impressive. The grasses are going to look so cool and I can't wait to see what you do with your new container.

    • @ChristinaDiStefanoStudio
      @ChristinaDiStefanoStudio  12 дней назад

      Westport is amazing! I can’t believe all the shops. We get a lot of ideas there then we figure out ways to make it happen at home. So much inspiration ✨✨✨ Yes Jerry loves it too! He’s great about that and I’m happy he’s showing up more on the videos, moving out of his initial shyness! 🥰

    Beautiful garden center! You were eying a water feature/pond.....go for it! We built a creek/waterfall/pond 4 summers ago. It is the best part of our beautiful yard. The sound is delightful. Our 6 goldfish have grown large and reproduced to 10! It has become its own ecosystem where toads mated this spring and now we have many little toads roaming the gardens. A frog has joined the throng as well! Birds use it and our outdoor not-quite-ferral-anymore cats drink fom it. We have another small pond with a water feature and an old sink turned water feature. Adding moving water to a yard/garden is magical!!!!!

    • @ChristinaDiStefanoStudio
      @ChristinaDiStefanoStudio  14 дней назад +3

      We actually have a huge pond! Lots of frogs all around. I’d love to fill it with lily pads. It would be so pretty, a bit like Monet’s Waterlilies 🥰
      We’re going back tomorrow to buy a few. I’m so excited 💚💚

    What a gorgeous place. I'm also like that when I go somewhere (particularly for the first time) where the surroundings and vibe are so mind-blowingly beautiful. A part of me wants to hone in and find out WHY it is I am having such a powerful response. Is it this sweet little (or big) thing over here? Is it something about the building/windows/doors/location? What is it that brings about such a wonderful atmosphere? All the pots and plants look magnificent. Some places (like this one) are just 'effortlessly' designed to behave as though they've been thrown together when really, it took the talents of a creative to tune in and orchestrate it. Thanks for sharing, Christina & Jerry. Another great field trip 🙏 💛🌱

      Hi Joanna! If were to summarize I would say the variety of plant life is what inspired me most. Not the purchasable things but rather the experience of being surrounded by natural beauty. We have that at home but then we step into this place and we have a whole new layer of inspiration and desire to bring the natural world into our home.

    • @ChristinaDiStefanoStudio
      @ChristinaDiStefanoStudio  12 дней назад +1

      The grasses look great! I’m so happy with them-honestly I love them more than flowers haha just so pretty, elegant yet unpretentious.
      Also in the winter we cut them down so I end up with some pretty grass to decorate with ❤️
      Get those pretty decorative grasses 😍

    I have always, always wanted to visit a Terrain store, but I’ve shopped online for a long time. In fact, I was just on Anthropologie yesterday and noticing a lot of the new/newish Terrain candles they had . I knew some Terrain products were sold on Anthropologie, but I hadn’t been on there since Spring. I’m just like you when I’m in a garden center-it’s like the most addictive chocolate!! Those pots with the amazing texture-I was in 😍! I love all the garden centers in the Phoenix area, but the area that I live in, it’s just sad. Home Depot garden center and one small plant store that just sells a few ‘same ol,’ same ol.’ And it sells food, too…I’m with Jerry…can I get a job? 😂 I loved hanging out and can’t wait to see an updated house tour. And to see if you went back and got the thrift store table!! ❤

    Thank you christina, love love Terrain, forget about I would love any item in the store, I would like just move in to the store haha. Not sure if you are familiar with Campo di fiori pottery, they sell in some stores in east coast. I usaully order a piece for Christmas or bday lol, they have a shop online. Totally your home vibe, they are italian style aged pottery, . Gracias Bellisima :)

    Thank you for sharing. We have a small Terrain Collab store nearby, located within an Anthropologie retail store, although it's not as big as their standalone stores.

    • @ChristinaDiStefanoStudio
      @ChristinaDiStefanoStudio  12 дней назад

      That’s a perfect collab for them. They have a similar feeling. This place was so fun. I got pretty excited about everything there 😂

    Ace Hardware has kits that are not expensive that can make those pots, and pretty much anything into a pendant or lamp.... A friend of mine in college used to make them to sell at the farmer's market...

    • @ChristinaDiStefanoStudio

    Does that type of grass come back each year? Or just for the rest of the fall/warm season?

    • @ChristinaDiStefanoStudio
      @ChristinaDiStefanoStudio  9 дней назад

      Hi! Yes it’s grass native to this region (northeast) and so it could pretty much grow anywhere in the US and come back.
