Petal Pusher…

…yes, admittedly, I am a petal pusher…I am keen on greenery or fresh flowers in a beautifully designed space.  However, your choice of flora should be carefully selected.  The flowers or greens should enhance the aesthetic of the room…a bunch of red roses in a vase displayed in the rooms below would not have the same appeal as these centerpieces…

Time Out…

…hot and oh so cool, we find ourselves in Arizona…the Tucson Mountain Retreat by DUST boasts rooms that are peaceful and warm to the eye but cool to the touch. Outstanding…a home perfectly suited for desert living, designed with a careful sensitivity for the local environment.

If I Lived Here…

…I would consider myself very fortunate, indeed…life lives with art in this New York Townhouse by Tod Williams and Bille Tsien Architects…

…I would host delicious dinners…

…and I would arrange luncheons along with thought-provoking guest speakers in a setting which is perfect for an active art collection…

…I would invite friends for a winter dip…

…and I would take time to reflect in this magical, secluded garden in the middle of NYC.  Yes, this is what I would do if I lived here.

All-In-One…

Dutch Wonders-land…

…I always marvel at the creative genius of Marcel Wonders…take a peek at newly renovated Andaz Amsterdam Prinsengracht Hotel by the one and only, Marcel Wonders.

Combining a mixture of different styles, Andaz Amsterdam is filled with furniture and objects that reference the Dutch Golden Age and Delft ceramics, alongside tulips and the colour orange.  The hotel contains 122 guest rooms, each featuring custom-made wallpaper. Designed to illustrate the city’s position as “a cultural melting pot”, the designs stitches together pairs of unrelated elements, such as a fish and a spoon.
