The purpose of the hard disk is to store all my photos that are currently on CD's, of which I have hundreds.
The transfer was easy enough, and I could have done it without looking in the files, but I had to look. I discovered that I have lots of photos that should be shared with you because the design is quirky and original, but they don't fit neatly into a particular category. I'll slip a few of these photos in from time to time to add a little spice to the blog, hope you enjoy them.
The house below is known in France as a pied-à-terre which translated means foot on the ground but really means a very small house. This house is extraordinarily tiny but designed to give a big impression, it even comes with its own pool.
The genius of the house is that on each floor is just one small room. On the ground floor is a small sitting room, big enough for a 2 seater sofa, a single chair and an occasional table. The first floor is a tiny bedroom with a double bed. The bay window bulging out is the shower room. On the second floor is another slightly bigger bedroom with an en-suite bathroom. And the kitchen and small dining area is in the cellar, with the wine.
Pied-à-terreThe bathroom below is just brilliant, not a straight line in sight. What I find particularly disturbing yet appealling is the shattered mirror used as a splash back behind the sink.
Another view inside this house, this is the kitchen/dining room.

What a charmer this one is. I'd buy it just to have that shower room. As for the shattered mirror: now I've seen shattered mirrors set into plaster on patio walls and for art's sake, but to look into one each morning? What a strange way to start the day! Best for the formidable types, not the insecure!
ReplyDeleteBoth charming and interesting...
ReplyDeleteI love that first photo. So inviting.
ReplyDeleteGreat inside shots too. That bathroom is interesting, and large! You could probably fit several of mine in there. lol
