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;
