Settle down in the depths of the tea garden
At the beginning of summer, after the new rain in the empty mountains.
In the tea garden, just after the heavy rain, everything in front of me seemed to be covered with a new layer of green. The birds were gone, only the distant chirping of birds could be heard.
Shishi was at the foot of the tea forest. At this time, the Kunqu opera performers in the house were dressing up and mixing noodles in the background, thrushing eyebrows, decals… one stroke, one raise and one raise their head, without rushing.
But a group of us are “anxiously” waiting for the moment when “Liniang” will appear on stage and amaze the space.
Finally, “Liniang” appeared on the stage, with long sleeves swaying lightly, and her fingertips twitching lightly. When the libretto of “Beautiful Flowers, Years Like Water” flowed out of “Liniang”, I instantly felt that my life came alive again .
“Liniang” has already closed the curtain, and we are still immersed in the dream of the Peony Pavilion, but suddenly it rains heavily outside the house, and the distant mountains are green. So, I started boiling water to make tea, and made a cup of old fir narcissus for everyone. There were laughter and laughter in the room for a while, and the tea ceremony started again.
You may be curious, where is Shishi? Theater, art center? In fact, it is not, Shishi is my current home.
The first time I came to “Seven Trees Garden”, it is on the mountain of Zhejiang University and Qingzhiwu. Passing through the bustling Qingzhiwu and driving along the mountain road, it only took two minutes, and the scenery outside the window suddenly switched to another world.
This place in the center of the city,
It is luxuriously surrounded by green hills on all sides.
the green hills in the distance,
The tea gardens in front of me are all over the hillside.
At the junction of Qingshan and tea gardens,
I came across a house built in the mountains.
Go up to the third floor, open a door,
The eyes suddenly opened up,
All the mountain tea gardens have a panoramic view.
My world suddenly lit up. In the depths of the tea garden, the idea of a home where the mountains blend into the wild gradually became clear in my mind. I rented two rooms facing the tea mountain here, and my original intention was to build a home for myself.
To be honest, I have never studied design, but I am worried that the designer cannot fully understand the lifestyle I want and integrate them into the space design. So I simply do it myself, at least I am familiar with various building materials, at least I have been working on building materials for several years.
To achieve the life you want with your own hands is a happy thing no matter what.
The house after renovation,
There is a large terrace stretching out to the mountains,
Leaning on the railing, you can have a panoramic view of the Qingshan tea fields.
Two rooms facing the tea fields,
I knocked down the walls near the tea fields,
Such a beautiful view of tea fields,
It would be too wasteful to divide it with a wall.
on the extended balcony,
Put tables and chairs, in the tea garden and green hills,
Why not drink tea and chat!
The interior is decorated in a tatami style.
You can lie down or lie down, as long as you are comfortable.
In another room, there is a tea room,
A wooden door separates this place,
When you open the door, you can see the green tea fields.
Another room facing the tea field,
After knocking down the wall,
I turned it into a sun room.
Many people, like these two girls,
Once settled down, I no longer want to move my body,
Just stay here quietly,
Drinking tea and chatting about small things, I don’t want to go anywhere.
Like the other room,
In this sun room facing the tea field,
There is also a place for tea.
I also set aside a special wall,
Install the small wooden lattice,
Put all kinds of tea leaves I collected.
This wooden shelf is one of my favorite corners. You can see that it not only has a storage function, but also has a good decorative effect
Every brick, every tile, every pot and every leaf here is all done by me.
Whether it is a terrace stretching out to the tea field or a sun room, my design idea is very simple, which is to turn the space into a home that blends into the tea garden.
The beauty of this world can never be enjoyed by one person alone. After the renovation of the house was completed, more and more people came to visit us. But I also enjoy it, because I can meet different people every day.
Things that were seen as flirtatious when there was a “serious job” are now a part of life.
Go pick a few leaves from the nearby mountains,
Trim as you please,
Then dress up as a beautiful flower arrangement.
Because I like the beautiful Kunqu opera,
So please come home,
Share with guests.
Friends come, I’m for them,
Elaborate food was prepared,
Every dish is my favourite.
Maybe it’s because we put a lot of thought into it,
Whenever a dish is served on the table,
Everyone at the dinner table squealed in surprise.
We use a black stone plate and match it with attractive food, doesn’t it look particularly attractive?
Whether it’s flower arrangement, cooking, drinking tea, chatting… Originally, this was just a part of my ideal life. What I didn’t expect was that these bits and pieces were actually remembered by the guests who came to visit, and wrote on airbnb Words of encouragement next paragraph.
It is actually a happy thing to achieve the life you want by yourself.
Before “Shi Shi”, I never imagined that one day I would have a home deep in the tea garden, become friends with people who come and go, drink tea with them, chat with them, cook for them, Make their beds…
Because of “Shi Shi”, I met a lot of people and finally got my own team. We will rent a large suite of 110 square meters on the same floor, and “Shishi” will have its own third space.
Everyone has the life they want,
house exterior design
Same as before,
The wall facing the tea field is still knocked down,
It has become an open floor-to-ceiling glass.
connected to the public space,
There is an open kitchen.
In the future, I will serve guests here again,
Cook my favorite food.
The interior of the room is the agreed wooden style,
wooden roofs, floors,
The most important thing is still the broad view of the tea garden.
You see, once the window on the wall is widened, the scenery outside the window is imprinted into the room at a glance
The outdoor terrace is more modern,
Imagine on such a terrace,
As night falls, the mountain breeze blows and the tea smells.
At the beginning, it only took me 2 minutes to meet Shishi, but I immediately had the idea of making a home here. Then I rented a house and remodeled it by myself. Everything came naturally. I think the third space of “Shi Shi” should also be so fast.
In fact, as long as you know what you want in your heart, you should let it go. Because, I always believe that the life I want must be developed with my own hands.
