Some might think this strange but I've always had this romantic dream of living on a barge. I think it's the freedom, the thought that you can be in a different place everyday but still have all the things you need and love with you. While on the guardian website I came across Josie Currans home, which is a New England-style house on a steel hull, moored near Hampton court and I am in love. It is impressively un-boat-like with an open plan living and dining area and a deck with doors that open fully. It is full of antiques and gorgeous finds from Kempton Market and junk shops that Curran has painted in vibrant, bright colours. The materials and textiles chosen to decorate this space are bold, detailed and busy but combined with the plain white walls and furniture in solid colours it works brilliantly.
This beautiful boat home has so much charm and character and has been made completely unique through Curran putting her personality into the whole of the design process.
