Rolling Homes: An Awesome School Bus Conversion...

 How stunning is this old school bus conversion found over at Tiny House Swoon?

I love the vintage vibe of this bus, it reminds me of the conversions from Rolling Homes, a book of campers and conversions from the 1970's . The woodwork tiling is really something else and i would love to see the morning light through that stained glass window!!

The Beautiful Wooden Dome House In A Forest

 My goodness, this place is just heaven isnt it?

This globe house is made out of mainly reclaimed materials and although situated in a forest the large windows allow for plenty of natural light to enter the home.

Unfortunately my source for these images was a secondary source so minimal information could be gathered about its location, owner or architect.... I f anyone knows more about this beautiful globe please share in comments

St Werbergs City Farm Cafe

This is a bit of an impromptu post so I am afraid the photos are not the best quality (had trouble getting them off instagram) but I thought it was about time I showed off some of the beautiful places I visit in my home city Bristol, England..... this morning I was at St Werbergs cafe and the inspiration hit me to snap a few photos of my favorite cafe...

St Werbergs Farm cafe is one of my all time favorites. St Werbergs City Farm cafe is a 5 minute walk from my house and is accessible by a small cycle path that passes through allotments and a nature walk. It is such a beautiful walk that feels like being in the countryside, even through it is in the center of one of Englands big cities.

The cafe is a hobbit-esque building with handmade windows, countertops and tables, a newly added wood burning stove, hanging plants, batik print upholstery, hanging plants, lovely staff and the most beautiful shaggy dog.... The food is super awesome as well, with many of the fresh ingredients coming from the farm and its lands, and served in  St Werbergs Local Steve Carter's own pottery!!

Not only is the Cafe pretty awesome but over the road is the City Farm itself, I take Alex there now but have been going there for 10 years.... I have a bit of a thing for Goats... I would love one :)

Tiny Home.. Images from Apartment therapy

This Tiny 127 foot home is in Hartsel, Colarado and is the home of Filmmaker Christopher and his wife Merete.
I am not sure I could personally live in such a tiny space but for a little holiday home on wheels this would be perfect..

What do you think could you live in such a Tiny space?

Stealth Pickup Camper

"I took a 7 week coast to coast road trip after being laid off from Boeing. I didn’t have a camper but realized that being able to pull off the road at a rest or truck stop was the way to go to make the trip affordable. With a few sheets of 1/2” plywood and misc. hardware this is what I came up with. The effort was well worth the time and materials."

"Eliphante"

Elephante: A handmade house in Arizona.

This is the last chamber of "Pipe Dreams" Giant tassel by Elizabeth March. Dreams by Peyote.

This beautiful sculptural home was build by husband and wife team Michael Kahn and Leda Livant Kahn and is one of the most interesting and beautiful homes I have ever seen. The home, called Elephante, features beautiful hand made stained glass windows, a re-purposed truck made into a bedroom and a kitchen made of driftwood, carved branches, stones, earth, leaves, weeds, mirror and broken pottery.
My favorite room is the chamber of dreams, which is yours?..

I am currently in Copenhagen for a long weekend, Hope you enjoy yours
