I am loving this colorful houseboat on the Thames River that I saw a photo tour of here. It belongs to author Josie Curran and revolutionizes the concept of the dreary, damp, spider-laden houseboat. Lots of fun.
Oh Anne, you would never think that it was a houseboat, would you ? I L-O-V-E that battered old leather chair. My neice lives on a dutch barge on the river, just outside London and they have just had an 'extension' on it where it was cut in half and a new piece put in. It was pretty large before the extension, so it will be very spacious now. XXXX
So lively and fun - I never would have guessed it's a houseboat! I love that they left the shoes next to the sofa in that photo! hehe! Hope you had a great weekend Anne!
I LOVE this! Did a post on houseboats a while back and find the whole concept fascinating. Thank you for sharing!
(PS- finally got around to reading magazines this weekend and spotted one of your chair cards. I recognized it immediately and was so happy for you to see it!)
What a cool idea, thanks for sharing! We are having our last giveaway on our blog today and we are giving away one of Shandells Match Boxes with your designs on them! We are soo excited!
Impressive! My son is a US-French citizen educated and living in Europe and a friend with an amazing houseboat that they travel/live on in style back and forth between Amsterdam and Paris. Wd be fun for a year or so,
Anne, very cool, of course I love the colorful, light, bright decor!
ReplyDeleteYes lots of fun Anne. Have a really wonderful Christmas and New Year....xv
