Personal Spaces

When talking stylish homes, I often wonder how many more Arne Jacobsen egg chairs and a Eames lounge chairs we can take on? The design interiors of the tasteful and the modish around the globe are often more alike than your average twin sister. That's why I like these images by photographer Menika Vanderpoorten that show us just how the other half lives (make that 95%). These interiors in her native Sri Lanka transport us to a time and place where a home is a personal space rather than a design display.
