Inside the grotto, Trapp placed coral, seashells, and even bones into the crevices of the stone walls.
From the outside, a toolshed turned library is alluring in its humbleness. A pair of 19th-century Italian putti, found at a market outside of Paris and damaged during shipment, charms the pediment.
Inside, the library glows; its weathered and dusty terra cotta pots, faded tomes, glass terrariums, books, bones, and old bird’s nests are Trapp’s enchanting keepsakes.
Moss grows in the cracks of the cobblestone patio, where vintage elements combine to make a table. A concrete banister, architectural salvage from Trapp’s trove, frames the space.
Topiary and potted grasses line the lichen covered concrete bannisters found around the property.
A bubbling fountain between tall juniper trees is a lively introduction to the garden and shop.
