Just a couple more!




The gorgeous barge renovation above has been designed
by Roderick James architects
all the woodwork was completed by Carpenter Oak Ltd.
Do check the site for more pictures.....it really has a lovely
balance.

These last two pictures are real homes not a rental like
Maria.



Barge Dreaming Again








Back dreaming of barging......searching the web brought up some more ideas. Obviously you can do just about anything. The life size 'terracotta' figure really made me smile.
Pics from a variety of sites with barges for sale sorry I don't have all the info.

The Ultimate Contemporary Barge - The Qrooze

This is the barge design favoured by my sons, the mariners, new, sleek with all the latest gadgetry. The Qrooze does have a very bright and shiny look and is actually very good value for it's price point. There are some  gorgeous aspects to it certainly. I love it's main level and open plan layout. The makers say I could have a fireplace which would be my special addition. The bedrooms are a little too built in and shippy for my taste... making those beds too challenging, although they certainly are warm and snuggly looking. Finally I'd omit any wood due to maintenance and the way it always will darken over time. BUT.... somehow the exterior lines really take some getting used to.

Could you imagine waking to a different view whenever you choose?




























Clean, classic contemporary interiors.














































Not too sure about this stair arrangement..... I think I might have to look at alternate flooring to suit my furry beasties.
























Need to utilize some of the nooks for books but loads of room for cooking and chatting with the company.



























Looks like a table that could accommodate  Thanksgiving and Xmas crowds for sure.





















Lots of room in the Master to customize to suit whims and styles.


























This is cute if you have kiddies on board the shutters could appeal to more than just the babes.

























Very European styled hot tub on deck - Fabulous sliders for seemless indoor outdoor living.

























Looks like you can party on this boat for sure!




























Take your friends for a dinner cruise.



Then sail away.

The Barge Dream Goes On

So starting from something like this.... being very brave.....



Could I have this? Only in France it would seem.





























This conversion is one of my favorites, I really could just move in.....what's stopping me?
Ummm well it is priced at 1.2 million euros and I'd really prefer a white kitchen hehehe!




Described as a Palace on the Seine....loving the stairs.


The dining area at Wheelhouse level is ohh.... soo..... French in spirit.


Lots of potential here.



Lots of light  seems to be the key.





This illustrates the volume of most holds - an open plan is the best way to maximize the space.



























Bright and airy but this  deck expansion may make it hard to pass under some bridges.




























So this would be the fantasy......
can you imagine....


Stuff of dreams.
