Is it only Tuesday? Not Friday? Still most of the working week in front of me? Urgh! Time for a virtual escape to the French countryside. To Bassiviere in the Lot-et-Garonne region, a traditional farmhouse and 17th century outbuildings reimagined as contemporary barn chic holiday apartments. Want to runaway with me?
Designer, tv-host, author, lecturer and curator. Many hats, one great talent. Love this redesign of hotel and conference centre Rungstedgaard by Frederikke Aagaard. Old meets new, fresh and fun.
The trip had been long. Australia is, after all, the other side of the world but as the taxi made its way towards Passage Landrieu her excitement mounted. She was in Paris. At last. Tomorrow the adventure would begin in earnest. For now, though, she stood in the doorway of the loft she would call home for the next few days. She felt in tingle run up her spine as she took it all in. So chic, so eclectic, so perfect. (Via onefinestay.)
As my crazy, busy, mad, mad , mad work week draws to a close you’ll still find me daydreaming of escapes and holiday homes, B&Bs and exotic places. Today you’ll find me in Lucerne, Switzerland in the stylishly domestic Bed & Breakfast 9. A small guesthouse that promises respite from the madding world, beautiful simplicity, a gentle stay. It doesn’t always have to be about cutting edge and high fashion. Sometimes it is about hearth and home and welcoming hosts. Bliss.
Time to escape to a tropical island getaway on the Great Barrier Reef here in Australia. Bedarra Island Villa, a private beach house, a perfect slice of tranquility. Can you see a theme developing in my posts this week?
