You could live here...cool light, eh?Or conversely if your name was Marie Olsson Nylander and you lived in Sweden
You could live...here
Yes please.
In a house by the sea... you are renovating with your husband and 3 kids.
Today….you can call me Marie.
What?? A girl can dream…no?
Carry on.

At a tiny church
Housed at the corner of a busy street in the city of Cape Town, South Africa
this old church still retains its original charm with its beautiful arched windows. The white building has lost none of its solemnity.
and now becomes a home…
Thanks to architect Perry Harrison-Hyde
Old worn wood
mingled with white washed arched windows
Yet…with a modern edge and mixture of styles…
Sleeping loft.
Monastic. Simple
um… and a tad dangerous
Breathing space.
Divine conversion?

It just grabbed me.
Some more of the work of Steven Gambrel
for your viewing pleasure…
Have a happy day.
Oh... you have a little smudge of chocolate on your cheek.
yep…right there.
you got it.
I love a home that is old
and full of character on the outside...
And modern and fresh on the inside.
That’s just the mood I’m in today.

I would take my family on a photographic safari
to
Africa…Zambia to be exact...
Luangwa Safari House to be even more exact.
A private house
“Rather than stay at a lodge or tented camp, you can now bring your family or friends to Zambia and rent a spacious designer house fully staffed with house manager, private chef and waiters…”
yes please.
This beautiful abode has no straight walls…everything is undulating and curved…organic…built around giant
leadwood trees in the grand “great room”
In this double-height main room, hand-painted fabrics from a local factory pair with furniture and lamps made by local Lusaka craftsman.
The home is overlooking a seasonal watering hole for elephants…
better than TV…so say I
You can sit in the pool to watch them...
or off the eating pavillion that is set for each meal
look at those napkins!
Upstairs…
four unique and private rooms
…and bathrooms
wanna join us?
Visit the Luangwa House here
You know you want to.
well…you don’t really need to join me
you know, social rules and all…
but sink into this
which belongs happily to this…
...and when done pampering
come hang out here for a bit
notice the south American or Portuguese textiles. oh.
Ramble on inside again
if you will...
Take in the rustic simplicity of the living spaces
And the kitchen…
ok…
I dunno about you
but I’m stayin’.
