Please, enter my humble "demeure" (residence)...! It's a duplex appartment. Downstairs we have a living room, a nice functional kitchen, a small loggia, a terrace with a view, a desk room + a mezzanine alloted to our TV which, apart from a few DVD's, we no longer watch (a deliberate choice as the cable plug is in the living room), a laundry room and a loo (without a bidet, which is most unfortunate).The desk room (or its mezzanine) could be converterd into a (third) bedroom. Upstairs we have two bedrooms, a bathroom and a walk-in cupboard. You just have to imagine me lolled in my sofa at night, a fire in the chimney, a glass of Savagnin (vin 'jaune') in one hand, a book in the other, while listening to some jazz. Cheers...!

Neo- (or pseudo-) colonial living room with a touch of modernity (table and sofa). |
Same angle, slightly different light. As I said, I enjoy sipping wine and reading a good book in the evenings, while listening to some Cab Calloway or some Fats Waller. |
Staircase leading to the bedrooms. |
An old and genuine African fetiche from southern Zaïre (ex-Belgian Congo). |

Warm and cosy. |
I particularly love dim lights. |

A precious relic: my father's train. |
Fire in the chimney. |

I fancy watching a dying fire. |
There is something fascinating about the lecherous way those consuming flames embrace the logs... reducing them to ashes. |
A big Chinese vase/jar I fell in love with. Its blue colour adds an exotic touch and offers a nice contrast, enhancing the woodwork. |
With sweet-scented lilies growing in it, later to be replaced by some sort of palm tree. |
