Recently featured in the NY Times, this modern garden designed by Susan Welti makes the most of limited space transforming this Brooklyn Brownstone’s backyard into a lush and private getaway. The garden is divided into three smaller sections making it feel much bigger than it actually is.
A long cedar boardwalk runs the length of the yard from the stairway at the back of the house to the garage.
This garden’s taken my infatuation for Russel Woodard chairs to a whole new level. Painting them red instead of the usual black or white? I love the bold choice!
True story: I once saw a pair of vintage Russel Woodard chairs on Craigslist for $50. For real!! The owner apparently didn’t know what they had. They were listed as something completely different – Eames I think. Obviously I wasn’t quick enough or this story would have started “I once scored a pair of vintage Russel Woodard chairs for and incredible $50 bucks!”

Great job on this modern outdoor garden. I like the second photo from the top the best. The facade of the house and the lines in the outdoor architectural elements flow seamlessly.
