Elm Springs 5 x 7 watercolor on paper So happy to see all the renovations and improvements made to Elm Springs. Hats off to @adam.southern, @ericpreviti and the staff who preserve and interpret our county, state, and nation’s history during one of its most beautiful and turbulent eras. #elmsprings #watercolor #sejpaints #postcardsfromthedimpleoftheuniverse #civilwar #scv #nathanbedfordforrest #historygeek #historymatters #historymatters (at Carriage House Studio of Windy Acre Cottage) https://www.instagram.com/p/CS9mQe3MGrF/?utm_medium=tumblr

Yesterday, with only a few free minutes and in the company of my dad, attended the July meeting of the #maurycountyhistoricalsociety at historic #elmsprings. They have discovered and recreated the original dining room wallpaper and painted trim. I’m enchanted by the repeating, colorful dandelion motif and collection of bright, joyful colors. #adventureawaits #tennesseehistory #columbiatn #historicwallpaper #historichome #southerncharm #southernliving #diningroom (at Historic Elm Springs) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRgsv9Hhjzf/?utm_medium=tumblr

Beauty from Ashes. Lovely yellow daffodils 🌼 growing at Elm Springs, a beautiful antebellum home that experienced one of the darkest eras in our nation’s history. I applaud the SCV for their courage and conviction to honor the legacy and the truth from a time most people want to forget or rewrite or take out of context. It is not possible to sweep a wide brush and paint everything from 1861-1865 with one descriptive word or political catch phrase. There are as many stories as their were people who experienced them. And all of the stories deserve to be heard. #civilwarhistory #elmsprings #daffodils #beautyfromashes #maurycounty #maurycountytn #scv #thinkforyourself (at Elm Springs) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9jtWz5nKK8/?igshid=1frz64jqo4udn
