Schoolhouse Re-Inventions
I have to say that having a few hours pulling weeds in the vegie patch in my country garden today made me dream of what the garden around the school hall could be like.
Probably the best example of how well a property like mine and a building like my school hall can be re-born is designer Stuart Rattle's country home, the former schoolhouse at Musk just outside Melbourne.
I can only dream... How glorious is the entrance? I am definitely inspired by the garden pavilion with the red striped curtains. Will I be able to keep up with all that hedge clipping? The challenge is on.
