Exotic Hand-Crafted Art House

About this space
2 blocks from the train in Kensington, situated on a family oriented block is a different type of house. Unlike the bland new-construction. This: full of color, culture & art collected from all over the world. handcrafted by us, family & friends. 2 stories tall w/ a steep staircase, main bdrm has a lofted bed w/ spiral stairs, the doors; old temple doors from India, the shower: wet-rm w/ limestone carving from Bali, all surfaces are concrete thru-out. The art is edgey. Not for kids. Feel 🥰
The space
The 1st floor is an open floor plan, very simple & showcasing some local painters and sculptors.
Center in the room is a handmade cannabis-leaf resin coffee table made from a old door.
The couches are infact foam mattresses for additional guests, the pillows were handmade.

The kitchen: is slowly turning into an Islamic-geometry-inspired-kitchen, accented by groutless limestone geometric tiles, floating concrete shelves.
the very purple, very high handmade cabinets, simple cabinet hardware from Indonesia.
a custom concrete countertops and a very large-very heavy custom concrete corner sink.

the 1st floor bathroom: is fun, a step-down Roman-style shower and tub.
the toilet is a high-tank for saving space, featuring a small wall mounted sink.

The 2nd floor bathroom contains another large custom concrete sink, a custom concrete wetroom with a rainmaker shower-head, flat riverstone tiled floor, a large tub with enough space for candles and plants. the wall features a handcrafted balinese limestone plaque displaying the battle of rengda and barong.. Surrounded by accent tilework. the toilet features a basic hand sprayer style bidet.

The hallway has some of our unfinished artwork hanging, a beaded sculpture from Mexico, and a set of mid-1800s temple doors from India leading to the master bedroom.

the master bedroom: has 4 wooden drawers, a ( unfinished) miniature closet.
a red fainting couch, and a small walk-in closet section for hanging stuff up.
the handmade spiral staircase was fashioned out of scrap-woods leading up to the lofted queen-sized bed with a mini-split unit directly across from the foot of the bed on the wall.
There are accent lights up there, and a short nook shelf all around and with a roku powered flat screen tv.

The guest bedroom is quite normal compared to the rest....but the bed is abnormally comfortable
