small gardens

So I have this really small garden in our new house and right now we've been so focused on renovating the house that I've never really thought about how I would like my garden to look like.

You see, I've never been the gardening type of girl... have always loved the decorating of the interiors of houses rather than the exterior.

But a lot of the blogs I read and the pinners I follow on Pinterest are garden lovers, and I cannot help but find myself inspired and repinning away of photos of beautiful small gardens. Something I can refer to when hopefully, one day, I get the time and spirit to spruce up our future garden.

Here are some of my inspiration photos of small gardens... or corners of bigger gardens. :-)

I love topiary and a neat little garden like the one above. Okay, my garden / landscape vocab is a little rusty, so I'm not going to be narrating much here. I need my landscape architect friends to help me out.

A cute white bench to enjoy the greenery.

I would love to have a fountain in my garden. And I like the way the plants are encircled around this one.

I love the idea of having a gravel laid path.

And, if I could have flowers - surprise, surprise - I would want white flowers.

This adorable urban garden above would be more my style. Simple, a little bit modern, and low-maintenance.

Our garden in our new home is a side garden, kind of like the one in the photo above. It's about 10 feet wide. I love how they've laid out the slabs in this diamond pattern.

I love this small garden with square blocks of different plants. Cute and contemporary.

Black makes a great accent colour for seating, tables, chairs and planters in this photo. Note the gravel again.

Succulents are always adorable.

I love this little courtyard with the stone table stacked with green goodness.

So how would you decorate your garden? Hope you enjoyed my inspiration photos!

Have a great weekend!

green...

I've always been a blue girl - meaning that I love using blue as accent colours of a room.

But lately, I've been seeing more and more rooms decorated with green! So now I'm torn between blue and green.

Check out this beautiful room with green as the theme colour.

I love the deep hue of green sofa. Notice how the green complements well with black accents? Gorgeous!

Have a great day!
