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.

Anne, very cool, of course I love the colorful, light, bright decor!
Yes lots of fun Anne. Have a really wonderful Christmas and New Year....xv
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!
Yes, I love it too! The wonderful pops of color and that great bookshelf are perfect.

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!
Utterly charming! thanks for sharing! Have a lovely holiday and happy new year!

I know what you mean...really bright and cheery. I love the houseboats in Amsterdam...they can be so well done.
Merry Christmas Anne,

From those pics, it's hard to believe it's a houseboat. Cool. Hope you have a very Merry Christmas. Michele

I want the white couches. I have been on a couple of houseboats and none were like this one.
who would have thought it could be a houseboat? its amazing. i think the colorful bookcase is so rad. makes me LOVE reading your blog.....
A houseboat would be so much fun. I love that chair too.
I love it! The pink loveseat is darling and she's done a brilliant job of styling her bookcase.
Really bright and on the river, divine!
Merry Christmas.
ooh, i especially love the first picture. the white shelf with the color coordinated books is a great idea to add a pop of color!! love you!
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,

i have always wanted to live on a house boat.
i still do.!!!
merry Christmas

The hot pink is really nice with the neutrals here...I like.
Oh my... who knew that I wanted to hide away on a house boat of all places! This is just fabulous- open and airy with bright touches! Lovely...
