Although we are are in midst of winter here in The Netherlands (lots of snow!), I am looking for inspirational garden images. We will be renovating our garden this spring and we are now planning the lay-out and design. The look we are after for our garden is a modern cottage garden. Suggestions for websites with inspiring images are very welcome!

A while ago I read in an Australian magazine about Sibella Court. This Australian stylist recenlty published her beautiful book Etcetera: Creating Beautiful Interiors with the Things You Love.
I didn’t have time to check out Sibella’s website until now and I was happy to find some gorgeous photos. Sibella’s very inspring website is called The Society Inc and is definitely worth visiting!.
About Sibella: ‘Despite being born in idyllic Sydney, Sibella’s gypsy soul had her travelling the world searching for beautiful and unusual things to discover, from a very early age.
Currently a judge on the Channel 9 television design series HomeMADE and Interiors Editor for Grazia magazine, Sibella has a beautiful props salon in Paddington “The Society Inc”, a paint range with Murobond, and a handful of prestige advertising clients who draw on her myriad of aesthetic and practical skills.”

Design studio Designerette is a young design studio, currently working in London and Amsterdam. They have created this scaled-up version of a doll’s house tea service, called Mini. The full-size teapot, cups and saucers are made of porcelain and retain the shape of the tiny originals.
The designers: “Driven by the influence scale has on the image of our daily use objects, Mini is originated from a porcelain miniature dollhouse teaset, brought back to human scale to fulfill its original function.”
