Elegant Funk
These rooms are all kind of a Before idea, they are all luvly but could do with a little shine, a little glitz, a little somethin, somethin.
A switch to a fancier lamp perhaps...
A chandelier over the bed in this case maybe?....
Some more delicious fabric on this daybed...
Gilded mirror here would do the trick.
A more fabulous shower curtain... ( Like one of These Bohemian Shower Curtains)

Hmm I see a gypsy lamp with fringe and tassels here, and a shimmering table runner. |

New Orleans River Houses
It's amazing how long I lived in New Orleans before the storm and didn't know about so many of it's secrets. When you live here you are either an "Uptown" person or a "Downtown" person. They are like 2 different worlds really. I WAS the latter, but when I moved back here a month ago I moved to Uptown and have discovered many new things since then. These "River Houses" are one of them. They sit on the very edge of the Mississippi River Outside the levee! They have zero protection from the rising waters of the river and yet still choose to live there. I have driven past the river levee many times and never imagined there could be homes on the other side...
There is a biking trail I didn't know about either that runs along the top of the levee and beside these sorta-secret river houses, that's how I first came across them. Now I'm a bit obsessed about meeting someone who lives in one of these "impossible" houses so I can see the inside of them and their (must be fabulous) Mississippi River views.
This one you can only see the driftwood fence and steps but I imagine it's incredible judging by the yard...Sigh

Some pretty cool spots aren't they?

True Gypsy at heart I always have dreamy places to live on my mind....I have no idea where this lovely is but wouldn't I love to restore her to her original grandeur. |

Or this, but nowadays I require more of a structure. Something like this in my back yard - however -would be heaven. |

I have never really been much of a cave dweller, but in this case I would make an exception. |

Sera Of London
Okay, I can't even comment about these pictures yet. I am soooo in love with them. I have been staring at them for 2 days now just trying to absorb.
No words.
