Bearbnb, East Sussex, UK 🍯

Created in celebration of Pooh's 95th anniversary, The 'Bearbnb' is an authentic replica of Pooh's tree-hollow cottage & the designer, Kim Raymond, hasn't left a single detail out – fittingly. Taking inspiration from the original illustrations of E. H. Shepard, the tiny property can be found inside a real tree trunk & boasts a bright red door & a sign that reads 'Mr Sanders', a reference to the original Winnie-the-Pooh tales. The magical home boasts a cozy interior with bespoke blue & white striped wallpaper adorned with yellow acorns & pine cones, as well as a rustic wood ceiling, off-kilter windows, floral furnishings & hand-painted artworks. The kitchen comes equipped with a shelving unit filled with giant jars of honey, while outside you'll find a magical picnic area where guests were served up locally-sourced meals inspired by Pooh's favourite honey.

Ok, this house is weird. Firstly, I was wondering what was up w/the garage door.

Turns out it's a mirror. Built in 1955 in Palm Springs, CA, it's been remodeled and you must see the choices. 3bds, 3ba, 2,319 sq ft, $1,499,999.

Check out the floor, like a mass murder scene.

Conversation pit decorated with a sofa and tables. Was this once a hot tub?

The stains continue throughout the kitchen.

Two lone side chairs in a corner.

Gray cement walls in the kitchen.

Snacks for the buyers?

Looking out toward the pool from the pit.

Cement dining table. I think it's built-in. It also appears to have a convenient electrical outlet.

It's such a huge space to fill. The sun is casting shadows, but it looks like there are steps here.

The glass wall opens to the pool.

There's a shower room here, but it's open. At least the shower & toilet are behind a wall.

The bedrooms and baths have floors that look watercolor stained. Interesting how they put the bed partly under the arch.

The bed from behind. Is that a fridge?

The ensuite is big, but so sparse and spread out. I would've expected a sink under the neon mirror. This is so ugly.

The secondary bedroom is plain and has floating nightstands installed.

The primary bedroom has folding doors to the patio.

Out by the pool, it looks like they repainted the statues pink and black, themselves. The lamp is broken.

Matching statues.

Nice fruit tree.

Fancy ceiling lights in the garage.

.28 acre lot.

Can we stop "flipping" houses? You're not making it better, you're 𝘥𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨 the poor building. You don't know what you're doing, you're not trained nor a professional. Stop ruining good homes.

i miss when houses had character

now everything is gutted and flipped to look like stale white bread

why take the character out of the house? where's the charm? why did you remove all the love that went into it?

Handmade woodcut print, its limited to 32 prints each one is numbered and signed by me :). The print is based on Union Station in Toronto Canada - it’s made by carving wood and inking it then adding pressure over the paper to transfer the ink to it.

Steel Vision Maria Pergay

Moldovian born Maria Pergay's first collection of stainless steel furniture, including the 'Ring' chair and the 'Flying Carpet' daybed was exhibited in 1968 at Galerie Maison Jardin, under the direction of decorator Jean Dive. Her success was instant, and Maria was quickly sought after by sophisticated collectors for private commissions. In the 1970's Pergay went on to work in Saudi Arabia where she designed palace interiors for the Royal family. In the late 80s thru 1990s, Pergay worked on several important commissions in Russia. Throughout these years, she continued to pursue her innovative work in stainless steel. Since her groundbreaking show of new work in 2006, Pergay has exhibited internationally, including Paris, Korea and London. She has also focused on private commissions and is working with Demisch Danant on her catalogue raisonné which will be released in 2011. In her 80th year, after a half century of creation, Pergay continues to surprise both herself and her collectors. She resides in Paris.
