Last year I posted on my
studio, and then took you on a walk down
through our land. Many blogging friends have asked to have a peek about the house so here it is. We moved in over a year ago having rebuilt the house. It looks very industrial, having wrapped 80% of it in galvanised steel. Really, it looks like another shed on our property! I love it.

stairs lead down to my studio or up to bedrooms and office
a couple of my large drawings here and below - framed in perspex so they seem to float |

So, that is the peek - quite a change from the huge French style home and English gardens I created at 'Clovelly' which is only about three hundred metres from this home. It was a job in itself so I am so glad to be in a smaller space, with plenty of land around us to enjoy and a studio in which to work.
What a beautful house! I love all the light and wood and high views. I love being tucked into the forest mosses and ferns, but I wish I had a tower, too, so I could climb up above the trees and see the mountains. Thanks for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Valerie. This new home feels like living in a tree house. Fun.
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful spaces and views, I am very envious!
ReplyDeleteLove the space and light also the simplicity.
ReplyDeleteLove also the large drawings and the collection of such simple clear objects - they have a purity about them.
I am also so relieved to know that you aren't in the path of the terrible fires that raging across Australia.

Wow so beautiful light and peaceful
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful calm space to live and work in. Did you notice the photo was taken on the ipad, with no tweeking at all.
ReplyDeleteHello Susan, It is great to see more of your home, I can imagine you there quite easily now.
ReplyDeleteI love the simplicity of the house and the light is just wonderful.
In our longerre there isn't a lot of light but we didn't want to change the frontage of such an old house.
I love your large drawings and the arrangement of simple objects.
I have a growing collection of stones and shells - just can't resist.
I am so pleased to know you aren't near the terrible fires.

Thank you all for wandering around the house with me. I do consider myself very lucky to be living in a home full of light where the outside merges with the inside.
ReplyDeleteGlad you like my drawings Diane. Will look forward this year to getting back to my large drawings.
