Josie Curran has a lovely house, except it's on a boat, on the river Thames, moored on an island by Hampton Court (Henry VIII's palace - well worth a look-see whenever you're in the UK). I totally love her eclectic style and how open and airy the houseboat feels, with white walls and tons of pattern and colour. Look out her living room window and you might see a family of ducks swimming by. Seems like perfection to me! Oh, and apart for having the kind of house - errr, houseboat - that I'd give my right arm for, Josie is also the author of Organised Fun: A Treasure Trove of Games and Tomfoolery, a book filled with the jolly japes and games that kept everyone laughing before the advent of tv and the internet.
