This house is one of the original old homesteads in Henderson,once surrounded by orchards it is now engulfed by suburban
sprawl. The garden defends it admirably and keeps the traffic
din at arms length.
The proprietor, inspired by a book depictingCezanne's home in
the South of France, matched the colours. Being here reminded me
of certain country homes in Italy, there was something faintly
Oriental too. It is so difficult to create a space that feels like
somewhere else without the final effect being kitsch. Staying in
this Henderson home felt like finding an oasis.
I urge you to click on the images and quench your thirst.
