The Del Mar Fair…through Poetic Home’s Eyes
The excitement, nostalgia, and curiosity of the Del Mar Fair makes the event one of my favorite experiences in San Diego (the funnel cake does not hurt the cause either!). The Del Mar Fair this year was themed “Music Mania.” Would you like to join me and my little camera to explore how the floral designers and landscapers interpreted the theme?
This piano (which I blindly hope was defunct before the installment) is repurposed into a gorgeous symphony of overflowing greenery.
In the same installment, a set of drums are artfully repurposed to become loud planters. To the left of this was a fountain made of cymbals, but alas, I have not yet mastered the art of capturing water movement!
Who wouldn’t love to dance across this walkway, imagining the beautiful notes one could create on each faux piano key?
A repurposed grand piano plays a symphony of green notes amidst a scene set with beautiful lighting. Outdoor lighting, you have been usurped by twinkling lights and chandeliers!
Long-lasting orchids and brass instruments combine to make a lovely duet. This would be a marvelous display for any party — or even intriguing decor pieces for a musician’s wedding!
Airing out dirty laundry is easy when you have drawers filled with greenery and flowers!
Major San Diego entertainment events come in various forms, ranging from concerts to fairs.
There are so many elements I would love to incorporate into the concert of my own home decor. How about you?

this is amazing… quite the floral artistry going on there like I have never seen before.
on another ‘note’ (couldn’t resist) I saw a derelict faded white upright piano sitting at a thrift store a little while ago. and sitting… it was there for weeks. I could never handle something that size but I sure thought it would make a great set piece. now I see what it’s function could have so perfectly, poetically been…
thanks for another inspiring post!
my goodness. my favorite is the first piano. i love its grassy bench!
oh I totally bypassed this at the fair! The arrangements are so creative!
I went to the fair this year for the first time..in fact we took our engagement pics there! It was a blast!
wow! this is so beautiful! I love how the drums were used!
Fabulous – makes me want to find a busted up piano for my backyard to plant stuff on, in and around!
they are amazing. i played a smaller version of the tuba in high school. had i thought of it, i would have kept it
. love the pianos and the walkway.
I think my favorite is the first piano. I like how everything is grown around it, and how it blends in. Very beautiful, and interesting!
Loved this post, and loved the exhibit. And I love that you called it the Del Mar Fair, because I still call it that, even though it’s now officially the “San Diego County Fair”. Doesn’t have the same ring to it.
Wish I lived closer so I could see these in person! I love the last one of the flowers in the dresser!
I’ve just spent a good part of this morning scrolling through your lovely blog – so glad to have found you! Beautiful and inspiring. -amy

This book does not need a review that tells you about the storyline, for we total know what occurs, very well be in the role of caring for loved ones in their declining years.
