"Endsleigh" is a smart villa which may be found in a quiet, tree lined street of Ballarat.
Originally an Edwardian villa, "Endsleigh" has gone through some dramatic architectural changes since it was built in the early Twentieth Century. Details of the original villa may be seen by the traditional roofline with the pointed eave and the Art Nouveau stained glass bay window. Yet in the 1930s, the owners decided to change the look of "Endsleigh" by adding a flat roofed, Streamline Moderne extension to the front of the villa. The facade was given a red and brown clinker brick makeover and a rounded porch was added. The flat roofed extension also has sash windows, a built in planter box that is built to the same rounded shape as the porch canopy, and the house name in stylised cast iron lettering that was popular during the 1930s.
This reservoir for converting any water tight container to sub-irrigation (aka self-watering) is made from a cookie container. If the availability of these food containers was more widespread, it would be my first choice for making utility bucket planters. It looks a bit grungy in the photo because it was buried in a sub-irrigated milk crate planter last summer.
The reservoir will hold about one U.S. gallon and is easy to make. The soil wick in the center is a deli container with holes poked all around the bottom edge to allow the water to rise up by capillary action. It just happens to be the right height to fit under the cover (soil platform). The fill pipe is flexible plastic tubing.
These stylish Metroland maisonettes, (two houses joined by a shared central wall), can be found in a quite street in the Melbourne suburb of Travancore.
These cottage style maisonettes with their low slung tile roof, white coloured stucco work with picked out brown and red feature bricks in geometric patterns and an arch of feature bricks dividing the facade follow the less cluttered lines of Metroland Art Deco architecture that came out of England after the war. To give them their own individual style, one has a bay window, whilst the other features a planter box beneath its drawing room window.
Travancore is a bijou suburb named after a beautiful Victorian mansion erected in 1863. The mansion's grounds were subdivided in the late 1890s to form the new suburb, which consists only of only about five streets. With commanding views of Royal Park, the area was much sought after by aspiring middle and upper middle-class citizens. These two small, co-joined residences were built near the lowest section of Travancore, which was the last portion of the suburb to be subdivided on what was formerly the mansion's old dairy. Their position and size would suggest they would have been acquired by an aspiring middle-class families or young newlywed couples who wanted modernity to ease their lives, as they would not have been in the position to acquire the assistance of outside help like some of their neighbours could.

One of the delights of our stay in Banff a few years back was awakening in the morning to this view from our room, with the flowers of the window planterbox as a foreground for Cascade Mountain.
Another from the archives and my first digital camera, July 2005.

As mentioned in my profile, I take pictures of anything that catches my interest. A dandelion, an old chair, a coffee mug. Small, everyday stuff, that I don't post here.
I decided to share this one, because there's just something about this window that pulls my attention. I don't know. It's just a window.

They were getting too tall on the light garden shelf so I pruned the tops. You can see the new stems at the top of each plant. I'm not recommending that anyone do this since I don't really know how this will affect the future growth. Time will tell later in the growing season.

Here is a patio designed with the fire pit as the focal point. A seatwall with two pillars and intergrated planter boxes makes this patio versatile and unique.
The details of this side courtyard are simply breathtaking! From the filigree planter box to the little round tiled window above the formed concrete and brick basket weave corner fireplace. The patio is laid with hexagon terra cotta tiles with blue accent tiles. Beautiful Malibu pottery tiles are laid around the french door.
These recycled pop/soda bottles make very efficient sub-irrigation planters for starting vegetable plants. These are pepper plants. See how to make them here.
This planter box was handmade out of reclaimed wood and metal scraps by my friend Joe (also my daughter's father). The best Mother's Day present EVER!!
Yep, that smells like cow manure to me...
Our new planter box. Measures 6' x 9.5" x 13".
83 - 3/4" holes are drilled in the bottom for drainage with a layering of burlap to keep soil from dropping through the holes. A mixture of flowers will be planted in the box.
