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?

Green Eyed Beauties

Maybe it is the make-up artist in me, or the general artist in me, but I really love these ink and water color portraits. Something so exoctic and fairy tale-ish about them. A grungy ethereal feeling, you know? Artworks in the illusive contemporary illustration part 3 book by we were damsels.  (Unsure if this her work or not, it's been a long time since I've seen this post and can no longer find it, so if you know, link below!)
