Enclosure and abundant planting. This garden has old-world charm with its mass of flower color and its feeling of seclusion. The terrace is enclosed and has a relaxed feel with plants allowed to spread into the jointing of the random stone.
The Garden Book, 1984

I know it’s not fall yet but I wanted to post my OTGW fan art
I designed and drew this on my own! I of course referenced the show heavily for inspiration, like the title card and the objects along the border
It’s such an incredible show, I watch it every year and I’m always introducing it to people cause I need to share its greatness

Wow, I can’t believe this. Sophie and Rob bought a carriage house in Turnbridge Wells — Kent, UK for their family of 4, and while they fix it up, they built a 450 sq. ft. garden studio to live in. They’ve been living in this tiny space for the past 6 mos., so far.
Sophie wanted the studio to feel like a holiday home, totally un-British, and just something a bit different.
She also wanted to demonstrate that small spaces can totally take color, too.
They couldn’t fit all their beds in, so they built their own Murphy bed and made it a wall in the living room.
They opted for a pull-out door, rather than the typical pull-down style.
When the bed is folded, they have an office space in the corner.
Two folding chairs on the wall are for the kids to do their homework, etc.
The design of their home was inspired by Australian interiors, where you often see single-story dwellings, set in leafy plots with lots of natural materials.
Trying to fit everything a family of four with two young children need, into 450 square feet; was not easy.
Sophie overcame the challenge with a lot of head scratching, many many drawings, cardboard cutouts, and trial and error to work out the best layout to make our multifunctional adapting home work for everyday family life.
They looked for the cheapest modular units.
Sophie’s favorite room is the pink bath that opens to the garden and outdoor tub.
