Beautiful Bali

Located in southern Bali, The Shaba is a luxurious colonial-mansion hotel with just three rooms, so your gauranteed first class service.  What caught my eye is the stunning vintage/shabby chic decor and unique styling.  Isn’t it pretty?  Although I’m not sure this room would be a favourite with the men!

 Above: just enough purple to set the mood.  Love the hanging bedside lights!

 Just love the bathroom, so luxurious… and personalised to perfection for us girlies!

Life on the ocean wave

I’ve got a thing for small boats and could dream for hours about just drifting along on the ocean.  Can you imagine what it would be like to actually live on a boat?  What an adventure!  Although I can’t say I’d be too keen on the restrictive storage space; where do you put all of your shoes / clothes / handbags?!

This classic 1965 67-foot motor yacht, named Paragon, is home to interior designer Mitchell Turnbough, his wife and their  young daughter.  The saying “good things come in small packages” is true here!  The once worn, dated interior has now been restored to its timeless 1965 glory with the help of a few mod-cons.

I love the orange and navy together, it looks so relaxing and homely.  There’s no wasted space and maximum efficiency everywhere- very cleverly thought out.

Isn’t it stunning? 

I can’t think of a better view than that of the New York skyline when docked at the harbour- what bliss!

Monday again; doesn’t time fly?! 

All this dreary January weather has got me dreaming of far away places with sunnier climes.  I think it’s time to book a holiday and these images below are making me lean towards Marrakech!

The sea-blue curtains are such a gorgeous colour aren’t they?  Perfect for a dreamy, restful night’s sleep.  The burnt orange, blues and greens all work in harmony with eachother and the detail on the ceiling is just stunning!  I’m liking the original tiled flooring too, very pretty. 

There would be no such thing as a dull day here!

The Secret Garden…

It looks like the snow is set to get worse, folks!  I’m quite thankful I haven’t made any plans to travel in the near future because most airports across the country seem to have been affected one way or another. 

One place I would love to go to though is Provence; albeit only because I want to stay in Jardins Secrets, a beautiful four star hotel which oozes luxury French style at its best!  With its opulent decor and welcoming ‘home-from-home’ feel, I’m not sure I’d ever want to leave!

  The rich colour palette and warm lighting create a very welcoming ambiance.  What a beautiful headboard!

 I love the shabby-chic feel of this bathroom, its so romantic…
