MY FAVOURITE DECOR SHOPS IN OTTAWA

With only a couple of days until winter in my part of the world we are still experiencing summer temperatures. Where is winter? I want to pull out my winter wardrobe and layer up. Instead it's perfect weather for lounging around a fabulous backyard swimming pool like this one by Pepo Botanic Design. I guess I shouldn't complain too much.
I think it's a first. I honestly believe we have never featured an events complex on the blog. It wasn't a hard decision though when the space was designed by Isabel López-Quesada. Just 15 minutes from Madrid, Finca Las Tenadas is a series of barns beautifully redefined by López-Quesada and landscape designer Fernando Martos. A fairytale setting for fabulous functions don't you think? Makes me almost want to get married again ... oops I mean renew my vows.
Is it obvious that I'm collecting backyard inspiration? Hence my obsession with Sydney landscape architectural firm Secret Gardens? We're planning on doing some work to tame our jungle of a garden into something sophisticated, stylish, with outdoor "rooms". If only my place could be as stunning as this Coogee space. Definitely backyard bliss.
Limited space doesn't have to mean limited outdoor style. This small warehouse courtyard manages to include a pool, outdoor kitchen, luscious greenery and the fab feel of an inner sanctum. Clovelly garden by, who else but, Sydney-based landscape designers extraordinaire Secret Gardens.
Not so much a secret garden although you must admit that backyard is a bit of a hidden oasis. No it's a design by Secret Gardens in Sydney's inner suburb of Randwick. Bright and breezy. Like being at a holiday resort 365 days a year.
