Chez Ric & Fer

Posted on Thu, 5 Sep 2013 by KiM

Chez Ric & Fer is a bed and breakfast in Coucy le Château, Northern France owned by Richard and Fernanda Gamba. The home is situated in one of the city’s oldest houses which was rebuilt with the castle’s stones right after the bombings of World War I. It used to be the village’s chemist’s shop during the 1920’s. Very unexpectedly, Richard and Fernanda gave the rustic accomodations a modern, mid-century vintage twist – who would have thought?! They have a phenomenal suite or a bedroom available if you’re looking for funky vacation digs. Sign me up! (I even speak French!)

Orchard Keepers

Posted on Mon, 2 Sep 2013 by midcenturyjo

Monday is the perfect day to dream of weekends away, of girlfriends and wine and fine food and a hideaway cottage in the countryside. Nestled between the vines and the orchards is a country chic getaway for up to 10 people on 10 acres in the heart of Red Hill, Victoria. Inside wood burning fireplaces, linen sofas and vintage furniture. Outside two large kitchen gardens to raid for the casual feasts we’ll be whipping up. That will be the most work we’ll do. I promise. That and trips to vineyards. Orchard Keepers is our destination. Count you in?

Hotel du Pantheon

Posted on Sun, 18 Aug 2013 by KiM

Yesterday Jo took you to Mykonos. Today I’ll be taking you to Paris, specifically to the Hôtel du Panthéon. It has recently been completely renovated and is now absolutely stunning, due in part to the fabulous decor by interior designer Valérie Manoïl. It’s modernized, bold (the wallpaper selections!!) yet classy and I would absolutely love to stay here. (Photos by Jerome d’Almeida) 

P.S. I worked on a little desk facelift project yesterday if you want to check it out over on my page

Weekend away

Posted on Sat, 17 Aug 2013 by midcenturyjo

It’s been a crazy few weeks in my life. Crazy disappointing. Don’t you wish you could run away from it all? Take time out? Escape from the rat race and enjoy some free time, some me time in a beautiful location. Simple, honest luxury. A weekend away at the San Giorgio Hotel on Mykonos could turn into a lifetime. I wish.

We Design Hostel

Posted on Fri, 9 Aug 2013 by KiM

I have never had the opportunity to stay in a hostel, but OMG how sweet is this one?! We Hostel Design is located in Vila Mariana, Brazil, and was designed to offer the comfort, style and refinement of a boutique hotel. IT SURE DOES considering it’s in a 18th century 450 sq m mansion. Love all the vintage finds throughout, black ceilings  and overall funky vibe. I would absolutely love to stay here!
