Les Indiennes hand printed wallpaper and textiles...

My love for hand printed and hand blocked textiles led me to Les Indiennes.  Mary Mulcahy,  the founder of Les Indiennes, produces hand block textiles of naturally dyed cotton, with airy patterns of big, single colored motifs. Check out their hand bound catalog...  Beautifully made and made with love, I would say. 

Enjoy!

RabLabs....

Love....is what I felt at first sight when I came across these luscious, purely elegant tabletop and home accessory pieces. Anna Rabinowicz is the designer behind RabLabs. Her collection offers bottle stoppers, platters, stationary and jewelry. Her pieces are made of a luxurious palette of materials, layering semi-precious gems including agate and crystal with the finishing touches of pure gold and sterling silver.

Definitely dress your table to impress or impress as a guest and give the perfect hostess gift!

Luxury living and working in a Cement Factory...?

Take a look at this beauty... Designed by Spanish architect, Ricardo Bofill.
Ricardo discovered this landmark Gem in 1973. The factory was part of an industrial complex from the turn of the century, comprising over 30 silos, underground galleries and huge engine rooms. The factory was abandoned and partially in ruins. The complex stands in the midst of gardens of eucalyptus, palms, olive trees and cypresses and features Ricardo Bofill’s house and guest rooms. I think this is luxury living... reinvented.
Enjoy!

40 WinKs....

Shall we say that my mind has definitely been in travel mode this week? I just came across the very chic boutique hotel 40 WinKs located in East London. Jackie @ (Home blogspot)....My fabulous British blogger friend...you probably already know all about this place, I'm sure! I am in love! How hot is this 18th century Queen Anne townhouse? From what I understand, it's a hot spot for photographers, stylists, art directors, models and I would say any creative type...or wanna be creative type....let's be fair. It has just two guest rooms, which must be the smallest boutique hotel in existence! Room "one" is $89.00 a night and room "two" is $125.00...I know...affordable too.

The home is an eclectic mix of shabby chic; old and new; chock full of glamour...It's actually the home of London Based interior designer, David Carter...Love, love, love this place! So much eye candy and so much charm...I can't take it...Just see for yourself...Enjoy!

J.K. Palace Capri...

Hello again....my blogger friends! I missed you guys....so glad to be back. I thought it would be nice to take a ride down fantasy lane. This view just took my breath away the moment I clicked on it. Ahhhh....Capri. The very chic J.K. Palace hotel of course located in Capri, Italy is my love affair for the day.... The attention to detail...the relaxed yet opulent decor...so familiar, almost like home....the splashes of color....the view! I love it all... For a mere $1100..00 a night and that's for a classic room, I can make this dream my reality. Who knows...maybe I'll splurge and go for the penthouse suite. It's only $4500.00. What the heck, you only live once......Enjoy!

Look at the local...just a dream!
