Veere's Bedroom
Part of the original house and located directly above the dining room, my bedroom is accessed through a new curved staircase that I installed.
- This room feels particularly wonderful, in part due to having windows on three sides: north towards the sea view, east onto a balcony, as well as a south view.
- It has a dressing room attached to it, and a bathroom next door. On the other side of the corridor is a small tented room, which I call 'the snoring room'.
- I bought the bed in Australia, and it is solid ebony wood. It was likely made in the early to mid-19th century in Goa, India.
- The room is filled with deeply personal and sentimental things that I love; beautiful arts & crafts pieces of furniture and special artworks by friends.

The best adventure
The best adventure. I like all the courses, but my favorite are both Rita Konig interior design courses and Anna Jones. Excellent!
