One gorgeous home three ways...well almost

If you've been reading my blog for a while, you may remember <a href="http://driftwood-interiors.blogspot.com/2010/08/one-gorgeous-hometwo-ways.html">this post</a>, when I featured one of my favourite houses. It was originally built by artist Marcella Kaspar and her husband, Mark Cooper, and later sold to Maggie Tabberer. Well, Marcella and Mark have since built another home, with a similar floorplan, but this time they decided to change things up a little, and the results are just stunning.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

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/AVvXsEioy6W44Lyvjzm4bmvMOuNx_9WchoK3qonTzdbWGd8l044t7uJSDDwfBJACrFfS2SR28voFv9qe5CCPNb1F20TKAefVQ9oogn6USdwPb8YmLGQW29d-zscu43E_2TxaExfSBBJcJEUd128/s1600/scan0005.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;
