Creatures of Habitat: Geninne Zlatkis
Wonderful artist Gennine Zlatkis has lived in over 50 houses in her lifetime.
This beautiful white house, designed and built by her super talented husband, is her latest home having moved in just last month.
She seems to have that wonderful ability to make a house homey within an extremely short time. I am in awe of this energy having lived in our place for over three years now and still stare at unfinished plastering and paint testing patches on our living room walls.
A testament to this spirit is the wooden cabin they lived in for less than a year while the house was being built. How deliciously warm and welcoming it looks.
Her flickr stream also has oodles of photos of some of the other houses she has lived in with her family.
And did I mention that Geninne is an artist? Her etsy shop is full of breathtakingly beautiful prints.
Her gorgeous blog documents all her artistic comings and goings – and also the building of their latest house. Bookmark immediately!
Thanks to Kirsty for the pointer.
Wow. All that white and wood! There are so many beautiful things in this post. Thank you for posting this, I’m added her to my blogroll now.
It is indeed a beautiful white house.

Isn’t her place amazing? I love it so much.
I love her house. Thanks for sharing. On a purely want it want it want it level I want one of those Keep Calm and Carry On posters. What a laugh. And it’s true! Thanks again.

I’m lucky to be swapping with Geninne at the moment. Her sense of style and art are so beautiful.
Oh, that river rock floor looks like it would be wonderful on your feet. Like getting a foot massage everytime you walked around bare foot.
these stones are so simple and just lovely!
Melissa – I have one of the “Keep Calm and Carry On” posters framed in my dining room. They are easy to get – google it, and you will find the poster very easily! I got mine from the UK, where I paid 18GBP inc. postage. It is the most calming thing in my house…
Her art and her blog are so beautiful – and very peace-giving. Hmmmmm!
And thank YOU for the pointer! So many gorgeous details in her home. I’m inspired by her sewing machine cover- must remember that for a rainy day when I can make my own…
Gennine’s blog was the first one I visited, ever. It is still the first one I visit every day. She is really so inspirational.Btw, I like yours too! 🙂
