The Anchor Council is a design & branding agency with an artisan approach. Olga Naiman, a leading set designer and prop stylist in New York (you’ll know her work from Domino) and Amy S. Morris, dynamo media strategist but always with one foot firmly entrenched in interior design, develop signature styles for boutique hotels from interior design to all the details that tie the look together. Their latest project however was an unusual challenge. For this Peruvian jungle retreat at Chimbre on the Bolivian boarder they re-designed 21 rooms. In the process they worked closely with local craftsmen (love that green chair!), scoured markets for accessories and completed the whole project in 10 days. It’s a monastic look (this is a retreat after all), spartan but relaxed. From bland (the last photo is a “before”) to colourful and all in remote jungle!

chocolate overdose!

The final day! What a long weekend. I love them but they are so tiring! I have eaten so much chocolate and so much seafood (and a little too much wine to wash it down) that I can see me having to run up and down the stairs at work for weeks to atone for my excesses. Today’s beverage of choice to sip on during my blog adventures is ginger tea, so refreshing yet calming and perfect for when you’ve overindulged like I have. Help yourself to a cup and come with me on the last part of our holiday reading guide.

… help yourself

Part 3 of the holiday reading already? I hope you’ve saved room for more fabulous blogs. After a leisurely breakfast with my husband today will be all about chocolate… lots of chocolate. I promise the sensible eating starts again tomorrow. Maybe Tuesday. Enjoy!
