Conservatory's and Greenhouses....

Beautiful overgrown Victorian Conservatory / greenhouse
Spiral Staircase at Kew Gardens

I can remember the moment I fell for Victorian style conservatories and began dreaming of living in a huge green house. I must have been 8 years old and we went on a visit to Kew Gardens. There was a beautiful conservatory with Lemon and Orange Trees and a large greenhouse with huge lily-pads that I remember being very disappointed that I wasn't aloud to sit on. It was around that time I read the Secret Garden....

Growing up we visited loads of National Trust properties and I have to be honest I found them a bit boring, but now I cant get enough. Although I find the interiors aren't often to my taste the gardens and conservatories are so beautiful and inspiring....

Heaven!!!

Perfect for a small garden, a windowsill or a tiny corner, got to love those Potted plants!

My new home has a pretty small garden with a tiny amount of grass so I have decided to go the potted plant root for my jungle garden theme. I have just brought myself a Casteroil plant for my garden and I am so in love with him. I have wanted one for so long. Next a Rhus...

.... Got this song on repeat...

Cabin Porn....

Woodland Cabin:
Phil Elverum from the bands The Microphones and Mount Eerie lived here for a year in Anacortes, Washington.
Hunting cabin near the west branch of the Sacandaga River in the Adirondack Park, NY.
Uvershula in Nordland, Norway sits on idyllic seashore location with fine views of the nearby Lofoten Islands.  Built by a local school teacher, it has a wood burning stove, coffee pot, and a hut log book with comments from travellers from all over the world.
Public treehouse designed and built by students at the Yestermorrow school.
I built this hillside cabin in 1974 in the redwoods near Mendocino, CA, using framing recycled from an old chicken ranch and home-milled siding and shingles. The skylights were tempered plate glass seconds from a sliding door company. My daughter wanted to play with her dollhouse, but it was raining.
Fire lookout in the Cascade Mountains of Washington state.
Ski Patrol Cabin in Eaglecrest Ski Area outside Juneau, Alaska
A “bach” on the edge of Hokianga Harbour in Northland, New Zealand


I have found a new tumblr called Cabin Porn. Above is a small collection of some of the most beautiful cabins from around the world. It was very, very hard not to reblog every single picture.
