Looks like a picture in a magazine. give me a half a day of living there carefully and I would make it look like where I live and that's not a pretty sight. Even quicker if I'm not careful. I have the "Messy" gene.
Well I just found your blog (through a link of a link of a link...you know how it is) and wowww what a photo. Your library is simply s.t.u.n.n.i.n.g! I can't wait to have a good nosey around your blog.
OF, You are Funny!!! oh believe me this place gets in plenty disarray... don't know how we will survive the whole selling process as we like to have all our "stuff" out... wish us luck!
Hi Carol, Hope we can keep it that way for as long as it takes!!
Houdini.. great to meet you.. how did you know I needed a Houdini.. just in time!!! I have some things that I need to disappear...
Gwen - I seriously hope you have sent some sort of info to Architectural Digest -- your story deserves to be chronicled in their pages --- and their pages equal the most spectacular sales brochure there is. :-)
Thank you so much Shayla, Valerie, Morna and Sandy. We are so very flattered by your compliments...They mean a lot to us... it was a very difficult decision to sell our beloved handmade home ... hopefully someone else can enjoy it as much as we have, creating it, creating in and living here... When we met we never dreamed we would have the opportunity to create on such a scale... it has been amazing.. Hope we can do it again.
Since 1992 we have been creating our whimsical Desideratum Art Jewelry, we are now taking a Sabbatical. Yes, indeed... we have waited a long time for this. The freedom to explore and experiment with abandon and to indulge ourselves in the many fields of creativity that have been simmering away on the back burner.
...and still occasionally creating a piece of jewelry and placing it on our FB Business page Desideratum Art and Jewelry
The prospect of the future is Exhilarating to say the least.
Thank You so very much to Everyone, Individuals and Shop Owners, who have followed our work all these years... we dearly appreciate it... we hope to have lots more things to share in this next chapter of our lives.
Go Placidly Amid The Noise And Haste and Remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; And listen to others, even the dull and ignorant; They too have their story...
Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexatious to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you will become vain and bitter; For always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans...
Keep interested in your own career, however humble; It is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals; and everywhere life is full of heroism...
Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity & disenchantment it is perennial as the grass...
Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself...
You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should...
Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors & aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace with your soul...
With all the sham, drudgery & broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.......

Oh this is gorgeous. I wish I could buy your house with everything in it.
Guillaume, I'd happily sell it to a Canadian living in England...
Guillaume stole my words!
I'm sure though, if I moved into your house, the wondrous would evaporate.
No way, Steven!! with your talent, you'd make it even better!!
Not many people could afford a place like yours here in the UK. True, I didn't see much of the rest of the house, but this is a dream room.
Perfect. Perfect.
I wish to be on the other side just like you Rachel...
A stunningly gorgeous room with such a richly peaceful feel! Lovely.

life as art- you guys have created your home as a work of art. A dream house indeed.
What a very beautiful room! Do you know the song by the British band Elbow? "So throw those curtains wide!
One day like this a year'd see me right! "
