Inspired Home: Gardener and Marks White Natural History Cottage

White, shabby, natural, light filled, old, rusty, sparkly, vintage, ethereal, industrial... some of the words that come to mind when I see these lovely images from Gardener & Marks, an Australian design firm, that also specializes in renting out props for a myriad of uses. This home was once a 1900's mattress factory.

Seriously, between the plank floors, exposed beam ceilings, natural history vibe, powder coats of white paint on the beadboard and brick for this industrial cottage feel, when can I move in?

Inspired Color: Pinks and Wild Florals

I feature pink a lot on here, (like here) or sfgirlbybays post here). It's something that can be very soft and sweet, but I love it with a hint of a gothic feel, even masculine. I'm not a big 'hot pink' person, but there is a fine line with the intensity of the color and what it's paired with for a mature audience.

 Paired with these pink touches, there seems to be an element of some nature inspired flourish. Flowers, branches, zebra stripes or whatever, I'm seeing a recurring theme and I'm loving it.
