Artist Marcella Kaspar's Sydney home...an update

Regular readers of my blog may remember my previous posts (<a href="http://driftwood-interiors.blogspot.com/2010/08/one-gorgeous-hometwo-ways.html">here</a> and <a href="http://driftwood-interiors.blogspot.com/2011/07/one-gorgeous-home-three-wayswell-almost.html">here</a>) on the beautiful homes of Australian artist Marcella Kaspar and her builder husband, Mark Cooper. The first home has since been sold to design maven Maggie Tabberer, with the couple then going on to build an almost identical replica, albeit with a darker and moodier vibe. It's just been featured in Marie Claire Australia magazine, and I couldn't miss the chance to revisit it - it's one of my all-time faves.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKabSnyOxzyqiMBKhfhCKdckWQrQfGQQCUdExcGkvNL9Q-3elEpkSLgOo0of8fnqzHiazAYiy28Dv4Hb2rZoMXhkAjLfD3hyphenhyphenXS75wDYKQabaMBoyweQh5BBY4YpW8FKXCxgqd9s0tAVi3-/s1600/kaspar+doubleresize.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="418" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKabSnyOxzyqiMBKhfhCKdckWQrQfGQQCUdExcGkvNL9Q-3elEpkSLgOo0of8fnqzHiazAYiy28Dv4Hb2rZoMXhkAjLfD3hyphenhyphenXS75wDYKQabaMBoyweQh5BBY4YpW8FKXCxgqd9s0tAVi3-/s640/kaspar+doubleresize.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEja13SmHtGTpHggB9uKIl7XdWaOc8vaXVTZx1UYfDwE-hdfedBaCySX_p5j8il12paO5LzFiGx0UopZ12tGM8tYPWDsLMv4xEmkHWY6DPRn0utsLgOrdzRYPwRuOHsJu98_ONx44DjVBr9M/s1600/kaspar1resize.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEja13SmHtGTpHggB9uKIl7XdWaOc8vaXVTZx1UYfDwE-hdfedBaCySX_p5j8il12paO5LzFiGx0UopZ12tGM8tYPWDsLMv4xEmkHWY6DPRn0utsLgOrdzRYPwRuOHsJu98_ONx44DjVBr9M/s640/kaspar1resize.jpg" width="466" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: x-small;">Marcella's stunning peony painting has inspired me to paint my own version to hang above my bed - of course, pics will be shared soon.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDOc4s7HHjt4E_CkG7aFHxpmw_2iPIAodRTyIrrItLBzCoYKsXEweYIif-BkKavBYPSgQzX5BgwjeZ6JAd6WVANta0DbNheAJZV8JlsS2JLb3ZhSIRAT82l7sFiN8-hQ64hsIY694BD-P6/s1600/kaspar2resize.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDOc4s7HHjt4E_CkG7aFHxpmw_2iPIAodRTyIrrItLBzCoYKsXEweYIif-BkKavBYPSgQzX5BgwjeZ6JAd6WVANta0DbNheAJZV8JlsS2JLb3ZhSIRAT82l7sFiN8-hQ64hsIY694BD-P6/s640/kaspar2resize.jpg" width="488" /></a></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5gJa9Ff5AdD_fa1yqn_6mV_PEUtbDdiztiltlGbi0AiVQbmdlyy0T3za0uRR9vZeHWixXSngLP9ASvn1BKxxWEluu5aLw80fw4cbxUWxckL8AjxZuIVIktofloE_z4fLdhUISv28G8Bl2/s1600/kaspar4resize.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5gJa9Ff5AdD_fa1yqn_6mV_PEUtbDdiztiltlGbi0AiVQbmdlyy0T3za0uRR9vZeHWixXSngLP9ASvn1BKxxWEluu5aLw80fw4cbxUWxckL8AjxZuIVIktofloE_z4fLdhUISv28G8Bl2/s640/kaspar4resize.jpg" width="492" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghhEFjVO6bSlaM7iVguQH3IUQXrAoUrNW6ZDKdb1bfBlgv6068yfkRUjFMFjb881OpwkZbJYKF_NXfjiqK7mBmTnATOwnun4HsY4JRnlx1lSfrXPKKmGWZunDEUYbz8THD2bKZqqXs4RwZ/s1600/kaspar+bedroom+resize.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghhEFjVO6bSlaM7iVguQH3IUQXrAoUrNW6ZDKdb1bfBlgv6068yfkRUjFMFjb881OpwkZbJYKF_NXfjiqK7mBmTnATOwnun4HsY4JRnlx1lSfrXPKKmGWZunDEUYbz8THD2bKZqqXs4RwZ/s640/kaspar+bedroom+resize.jpg" width="491" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6aa84f; font-size: x-small;">One of my favourite elements of both homes is the frangipani outside the main bedroom.
