I fondly remembered the old Victoria magazine's features on gardening and decided to dig them out and see what images I could come up with. I have tore out these features and long since thrown the magazines away. If I knew the the date of the feature I have posted it here as the source, otherwise I don't know the date. source: scanned image from Victoria magazine This was from the magazine and it was also the cover of the magazine. If ever I get to visit England I would love to see a cottage like this. Isn't this rose bush magnificent! source scanned image from Victoria magazine Victoria magazine often took us to England. Here we get a bird's eye view of a spectacular manor house walled garden. source: scanned image Victoria magazine This image is one of the inspirations for my own kitchen garden. Here is a herb garden right out the kitchen door at another manor house. source: scanned image Victoria magazine Always enchanted by a path in a garden. source: image scanned from Victoria magazine Jan. '91 Victoria did many features on white long before I ever remember anyone else showing it. Here they featured an all white garden. source: image scanned from Victoria magazine Jan. '91 The white garden at night becomes a magical place as a moonlit garden. Now, here in my own yard the plants have been spilling over the walk and the flower border with abandon. I just this year have a rose garden. You don't have to spend a lot of money to have roses. I picked these roses up at Walmart last year. I would get a rose every week with the groceries. They only cost around $4 and some change a piece. I have four rose bushes and they have really been beautiful this week. Right out the back door in a shrub a mother robin has taken up residence to raise her young. Not wanting to disturb the nest, I stuck the camera above my head and aimed and caught a peak at the beautiful eggs.

“The idea was to be authentic to Italianate Renaissance gardens,” Todd says of their three acres of period-appropriate garden rooms. “I wanted to have gardens within gardens.” But for their botanical treasures—Christy’s beloved citrus, and Todd’s adored orchids—the couple knew the conservatory would provide the perfect exhibition space when they first spotted the piece at Red Baron Antiques, near Atlanta, more than fifteen years earlier. When the time came to build their garden, Christy

Looking to upgrade your back yard? Well we've got 6 simple deck designs, but built in beautifully landscaped yards. These decks aren't just about functionality; they're about creating a vibe, a mood. Imagine stepping out to a space that blends seamlessly with the outdoors, where the boundaries between inside and outside blur. A place for morning coffees or to have dinner outdoors. These decks all use simple landscaping materials such as pavers, stone & rock to incorporate your deck into your yard by building pathways and garden beds around the deck itself. When using TuffBlock deck blocks, you can build the deck portion in a matter of hours when the deck itself is a simple rectangle. But when blended into the yard with some simple landscaping tricks, it elevates it to a whole new level. Hopefully these inspire you and get you thinking about how you could transform your own yard! This first deck shows how you can build out from your home to create a patio deck, and extend the living space in your house. This type of deck is perfect for an outdoor living area. Think about using stones around the deck to frame it. The symetrical plants at either corner of the deck along with the L shaped couch make this a perfect place to sit and enjoy the outdoors that leads perfect out to your garden. This type of deck is also perfect in winter where the stone and paved pathway allow you to stay out of the mud whilst still using the space. This deck is similar, but is floating in the yard as a stand alone platform. A floating deck platform is a great place to have dinner during warm summer nights. Adding pavers to your lawn is a great way to connect the deck to the house, and the gravel/stone around the deck is great for hiding the deck blocks under the deck. This deck is built into the garden bed at the end of the yard. The pathway connects is seamlessly to the house, and allows you to sit in your yard whilst enjoying the nature around you. A two toned deck is always a nice touch. A floating ground deck is perfect for a bbq and inviting friends over for a feast! Building on a slope yard? Well TuffBlock allows you to build using posts at various heights for a deck like this. Consider creating a bench as part of your floating deck for an extra place to sit. You can also build a firepit next to your deck to warm you up in the evenings! We hope these six stunning examples of floating decks have sparked your creativity and inspired you to embark on your own backyard transformation. Each deck, with its unique blend of simplicity and style, demonstrates how when using deck blocks, like TuffBlock, a single day's effort building a floating deck can result in a breathtaking outdoor sanctuary. Whether it's a cozy corner for your morning coffee or a spacious platform for social gatherings, the possibilities are endless. Now it's your turn to bring these ideas to life! Grab your tools, choose your design, and start building. Remember, the beauty of these decks lies not just in their construction, but in how they harmoniously integrate with the natural landscape of your yard. We can't wait to see the incredible spaces you create, transforming your outdoor areas into personal havens of relaxation and joy. Happy building!
Tout d'un coup ( plutôt avec de la patience ) le soleil fait son entrée et notre quotidien commence à changer . Nous avons envie de prolonger nos journées au jardin , en terrasse , sur le balcon . Chaque instant est prétexte à rester dehors ou à laisser filer son regard à l'extérieur. via Adore Home Magazine La maison devient alors celle qui nous offre l'ombre et la fraicheur. Les rôles s'inversent. Le seuil de ce partage de fonctions est la fenêtre , la baie vitrée. D'où son importance, non seulement en matière d'isolation thermique et phonique mais aussi en termes d'esthétisme. via areyouami Qu'elle donne vers des petits espaces comme un patio ou une terrasse ou encore vers un grand jardin, l'implantation d'une ouverture, sa structure et son matériau sont importants à étudier. Une fenêtre aluminium bien pensée peut apporter à elle seule une belle lumière à une pièce. J'aime les couleurs sombres comme l'anthracite qui va lui conférer un aspect industriel. via Secret Maison Une grande baie coulissante quant à elle va ouvrir l'espace. Si l'extérieur n'est pas très grand comme celui de ce patio , la baie vitrée qui peut s'élever jusqu'à l'étage va créer une sensation d'espace habitable supplémentaire tout en apportant de la luminosité. via DTR Studio Architects , photo Cristina Beltran A l'inverse, un petit espace extérieur comme celui-ci, peut être vitré totalement tel une verrière. Il est à la fois jardin d'hiver et s'ouvre aux beaux jours vers le petit jardin . via Walhalla En été, pour éviter l'effet de serre sur la partie vitrée du toit, on peut prévoir une jolie voile d'ombrage ou de la végétation grimpante comme sur cette pergola. via Casa&diseno Comme chaque type de maison a ses caractéristiques, il faut utiliser les contraintes pour en faire des atouts. Dans cette maison en pierre aux murs très épais, j'aime cette série de baies vitrées qui se succèdent comme des portes donnant dans le jardin. via Archzine Outre les performances de la baie en isolation et luminosité , le design de l'armature comme sa couleur sont également des points essentiels . Ce sont des aspects qui sont de plus en plus réfléchis par les enseignes expertes de la menuiserie française. Et c'est tant mieux pour nous ! Soyons attentifs aux innovations. Le nouveau coulissant Alu Sublim’al en est un bel exemple. Il a une performance d’isolation encore inégalée sur le marché tout en bénéficiant d’un design singulier. L’alliance de ses lignes rondes et carrées lui apporte élégance et modernité et son profil épuré permet de faire entrer la lumière au maximum. Via Terres de fenêtres De mon côté, si vous avez suivi mes travaux , le pied à terre de 30m2 que nous avons rénové en centre ville, a aussi la chance de posséder une grande terrasse. Il nous reste encore à l'aménager mais cet espace extérieur apporte beaucoup de lumière à l'appartement. Nous n'avons pas changé les fenêtres car elles avaient déjà été remplacées. Une porte d'entrée pvc ouvre sur la terrasse éclairant particulièrement le salon. Et une fenêtre en bois, double vitrage avec une partie fixe vitrée au dessus, illumine la cuisine mais aussi la chambre en second jour. J'espère pouvoir vous montrer la terrasse avant cet été .
