Fearless Fantasy Friday...

I found this short and truthful quote the other day whilst browsing one of my favourite blogs Belle Maison...

“Most people start out wanting to go for their fantasy, but end up painting their walls dove-white.”

- Raymond Boozer

I so loved it, that it's inspired me to start a new regular (or semi-regular) post entitled 'Fearless Fantasy Fridays'.

These posts will be to feature rooms where people haven't 'chickened out' and resorted to playing it safe at the last moment.

'Feel the fear and do it anyway' is my motto (and also the name of a great book by Susan Jeffers for those who like motivational reading).

You only live once.... and at the very least could try ramping up your wall colour. An adventure into bold walls only needs a new can of paint or some new wallpaper if it goes wrong!

Not the end of the world.

And, if you felt like taking a risk with the furniture, who could resist gorgeous purple chairs and an oversized purple lamp?

Viva la fantasy!

A Fun White House

 A Fun White House

Amazing House design.. The entire is a color which I normally can't stand an entire house to be .. but in this case it works perfectly.. Long gone is my misconception that white is boring.. This place definitely is not boring in any way.. Please see the pictures below..

Enjoy!!!

Sensational White Modern Home

This house is a box.

Ok, a parallelogram box, but a box nonetheless!

\ 

The home is from Sao Paulo, Brazil and is designed by Marcio Kogan on a 1700 square meter area that encloses 700 square meters of living space on its two floors. Italian windows help maintain transparency, giving a magnificent view of the pool and the garden while doubling up as walls as well.

Having been covered in natural wood, the house alternates between tones of white helping in naturally illuminating the house with ample sunlight. Construction details, on the interior and the exterior have been done with perfection, giving the house a delightful and pleasant finish.

Various Merit awards by differently awarding agencies like IV Bienal IBERO Americana, ASBEA – Group of Projects and World Architecture Award have been granted to the design of the house as well.

A fantastic Cliffside Hills with 

a great view, location, and design

Sometimes you see a house and the pictures are so amazing and unlike anything else you have ever seen that you have to share. Please read the post below ion this cliffside villa, unlike any house any of you have seeen I am, almost 100% sure.. Its am engineering and design masterpiece and shows how a good concept or idea can be implemented with good planning and finished off with what I feel is almost perfect interior designing. 

Please have a look

Beautiful Cliffside Villa

There may have been times when we have drove past luxurious bungalows and beautiful villas and wished our dream homes to be similar or close to it. Here we take you through a tour of one such beautiful, modernist cliff side villa designed by Oscar Shamamian and Michael S.Smith(remember, the Whitehouse interior decorator?).The villa is situated on a steep site overlooking the Mediterranean Sea.

The principle areas encompass five levels, with related living, dining and library spaces.A glass elevator connects these levels to the bedrooms below and to the roof and pool terrace.

The living room has been set with an 18-ton retractable glass to allow the inside and outside to dissolve into one.The decor inside is kept simple yet elegant leaving room for ample space to showcase some striking displays.

The dining level is elevated above the living level and main terrace for clear, uninterrupted views out to sea.

The street-level access opens to the pool terrace on the roof of the house.A glass staircase, at left, leads to the studio entrance below.

At the studio entrance is a reception place with a prototype table designed by the architect that explores residential diversity.

To complete it all, a pool terrace with steel arches that swoop above and down the hillside are gridded with the network of cables that support sails for shade and privacy as well as encourage the growth of greenery.Now this is what you call an engineering marvel!

 Absolutely amazing.. wouldn't you all think?
