I had quite a response with my "face house" that I posted on Sunday, so I went looking for more examples. Boy, did I find them! I love the sense of humor that both the architect and the home owner must have. This first one is in Kyoto, Japan. I would definitely seek it out, if I were to visit. I don't know where this house is. But I read that it has a different face on each facade. I think one face is enough, personally. I can just picture little kids getting a bit creeped out, like they do with clowns. This is my favorite. It's subtle and just keeping an eye on the neighborhood. And in my very understated way, (ha ha) I could add more decorations temporarily, if the whim hits. Of course, I love this one. It looks like a potentially unloved, drab building has a sense of humor and life. I can just picture kids daring each other to step inside through the mouth.

I have another part-time job that nobody knows about. It doesn’t pay very well because … well, technically my “boss” doesn’t actually know I hired myself to do the job. But whenever he decides he needs me, I’m certainly ready and waiting. You see, when it comes to the aesthetics of Wes Anderson movies, ol’ Wes…

As long as humanity has had beliefs in a higher power, the use of magic, spells, curses, and incantations have featured widely across cultures. A number of influential texts or ‘grimoires’ (textbooks of magic) were developed over the centuries, many of which became the books of choice for secret societies and occult organizations that endured well into the twentieth century.

My parents were in town the other week, so on a particularly beautiful September Sunday, my mum and I headed to Hyde Park to visit this year’s Serpentine Pavilion. The yearly structure is an event in the architecture world, as well as in the London cultural scene. (I previously wrote about London’s 2013 Serpentine Gallery Pavilion and, I must say, it’s still my favorite one.
It's that time of year where the DIY projects start expanding to the great outdoors. You can see my post on How To Create The Perfect Outdoor Space {Here}. Today we are talking about curb appeal. I'm going to be honest, I rarely focus on the outside of our house. I have this handsome guy who lives with me that loves being outside and getting down in the dirt while doing projects outside. & I'm usually inside covered in paint & glue doing something messy creative. But once in a while I like to get outside with the hubs & make

Hello dear friends! I can not believe that today is the first day of autumn already!! Well, over here it is autumn and officially my favourite season... It is a balmy beautiful evening in Cape Town and a cascading starry sky hangs above us! Totally gorgeous. As I was on my way home from a service for the World Wide Day of Prayer for Women I was wondering what I am going to blog about and then I checked into my blog and my eye fell on this beautiful conservatory...and voila! I was on a mission.... The conservatory above is my favourite of all time! It is also from one of my favourite houses ever... Henk and Monika Smith's amazing home, of which I can never get enough! So, then I found a few more that grabbed my fancy... This image is quite amazing... you can quickly bend down and retrieve your jaw from the ground! It's like a dream, isn't it? I could not find the correct photo credit and it just said Winter Palace . Does anyone know? Anyway, I could do a great deal of daydream believing in there!!! It's like a movie set for a romantic scene and ..well...let your imagination go... a proposal perhaps? These beauties are at Schonbrunn Palace Vienna. Love the shape and can you just imagine the treasures they hold? Everything we need is here... beautiful shapes, a chandy, an elegant bench, a water feature and one of my favourite tree ferns...perfect! Is it just me or does a conservatory hold a sense of mystique for you as well? Just the place to while away a lazy Sunday.... The architectural detail on conservatories are always beguling. I think its time to take a look at some daybeds for another post. I bet you all have a favourite lurking in your wish list closet! Enchanting... On Monday I will introduce another wonderful blog in my Blog it Forward Series and on Tuesday is our monthly international Bloggers post for "By Invitation Only" and this time I will be taking you on a tour of my wonderful city of Cape Town!
