My Bohemian House: inspiration

I'm feeling inspired... so I have started this blog to keep track of my progress and to spur on this new journey.

I live in an Edwardian house. It was re-located onto an empty cow paddock about 12 years ago, with the intention of creating a garden with an historic appearance (eventually), and restoring the house (rather than renovating it).

This snapshot was taken from the back door in February 2008.

I recently visited a couple of houses and gardens that have inspired me to update the Edwardian House. I don't want to live in a "fossil". The house needs to keep some history, and celebrate the individuality of its tenants.

I want to play up the Boho (Bohemian) and Kitsch aspects of the house.

It will become the Boho House.
