One gorgeous home...two ways

Over the past few weeks I've been trying (rather unsuccessfully I might add) to cull some of my stash of magazines, and in the process I found these pics of one of my favourite homes. This house originally belonged to artist Marcella Kaspar and her builder/designer husband Mark Cooper, and was featured in Vogue Living magazine. I loved it from the outset, with its beautiful old frangipani and Marcella's stunning artwork:<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzrO_qcvTo7SPq3_lOf7RCyzbsYNmSBp9GvW4AEGNvG31DtYSEdy8AZ6Yi6Tdd5BJV8GC4CksmEuzc91o-QW2SqhckvU20V7Il_8wn4B3lXHDKZ-Ibo8gJYHTn7huEZylu1oL7FYsCSD0/s1600/scan0005.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;
