Tea House In A Peaceful Garden
Friday, March 25, 2011
I think about tea ceremony in Japan or about meditations and renunciation of everything perishable. It’s called Hat Tea House and was created by A1 Architects in Ostrova, Czech Republic, but this time there is no modernism as in all other works by them. The area is small, just 1,80 square meters; the house stands in a peaceful garden. The structure is made of oak, clothed in larch under a

By displaying these collections, you will enjoy seeing them every day and they make an interesting statement as well. There are many parts of big, old farm machinery that can be made into interesting displays either on a tabletop or on the wall. You can create a stool from an old tractor seat, and there are any number of tractor parts that make attractive vases and accessories. It can be a great way to display a vintage tool collection whether it is smaller hand tools or larger farming accessories.
If you or someone in your family loves to garden, then this theme is a natural. You can use vintage or even new garden accessories to create a lovely space for you and your family to enjoy. One way to create such a room that works for everyone in the family is to center your decorating theme on the garden. Making your family room a comfortable place for your family to gather is the goal of most room designs.

Then you can add a colorful welcome mat by the hearth, and your family room will be cozier than ever. You can also display a weather vane as a coffee table centerpiece, and you can hang a garden trellis on your family room wall and tuck photos into it for a fun, photo board display. While the sun is not actually shining inside, a sundial makes the perfect little accent table. Sundials and Weather vanes Another great accessory that you can add to your room is a sundial.
The packets are colorful and they make an eye-catching display. Choose matching frames for the seed packets, and then arrange them on the wall in a large display. Another great way to bring flowers into your family room is by framing flower seed packets and displaying them on the wall in a grouping. You may also decide that you family room would be the perfect place to plant a little, indoor flower garden for your whole family to enjoy. Whether it is with a fresh bouquet perched in a watering can or a picket fence planter holding pots of your favorite flowers, adding flowers to your family room can bring it to life. You can carry out your garden theme by adding flowers to your space.
Garden Studio
Tuesday, February 23, 2010
I am keen to get our backyard looking nice but it's going to be a long process and we need to decide exactly what we want to do first.
The garden has a lot of potential but it's a bit out of control! We have a good undercover patio area but the rest is grass and garden beds. At the moment it's green because we've had a lot of rain but in the hot weather it's a large expanse to keep watered. There's also a 6 x 4 metre shed in the back corner which is a bit of an eyesore.
One of my ideas is to pull down the shed in the corner (that will probably only happen if someone wanted to take it off our hands) and build a smaller, modern garden studio somewhere along the back fence.
Here is a photo looking out from the patio to the back corner as it is.
This is the kind of structure I have in mind. The front windows would face north so it would be a beautifully sunny room. I think it would be great for guests to stay in if we run out of room in the house or as an office.
Thoughts? Have you got any favourite gardens that might inspire me?
