Flamant Hotel design





This is one of my favorite places in the Flamant Home book.  (you can get one for yourself on the side there via amazon).  The hotel looks fabulous and so relaxing... makes you want to get away from it all, yes??

Just think of all the sand on that beautiful white floor...

Beautiful interiors from Bungalow Staging and Design

I have to keep this on brief, but these images speak for themselves anyway - quiet, serene, and pretty - they offer some calm on a hectic day. Visit the site Bungalow Home Staging for more, and check out co-founder Megan Arquette's blog, Beach Bungalow 8.

Another tropical trip...

Coming at you from the other end of the country - Linda from Lime in the Coconut making me miss the motherland...


The ever-so talented Ashley asked that I blogsit for her while she travels to the wild edges of Alaska.

Sure, I say. What an honor...What a privilege...What fun!

So...

While she dips her icy toes into the dark Alaskan waters...

Join me. Grab a long cool drink...We are heading to

a whole other edge of the world...

Separated from civilization by a sweep of meandering lagoon and white sands

With no neighbours and a maximum of just 28 guests, this Bahia Coast Beach hotel is like a private slice of paradise.

It is all about hammock snoozes, rainforest wanders and just

being.


Its 14 spacious cabãnas are surrounded by lush jungle, and are adorned with a smart mix of bright white and bold colours...

each has it's own outdoor shower




Hotel Fazenda de Lagoa is practically the definition of beach-shack chic.

A fine line exists between indoor and outdoor living...

don't we all need that...

once in awhile? well, maybe not so much in Alaska.


In the alcove library, carefully curated floor-to-ceiling titles are interrupted only by wooden sculpture of a white bird surrounded by flowers.

and of course, the requisite billowy spa area

Fazenda da Lagoa....what a colorful, sunny respite

and, uh, Ashley...can you bring some Ice when you come back?

for our long cool drinks?

hmmmmm?

I'm back, and I come bearing the portfolio of one of my favorite photographers!

Francesco Lagnese's work takes my breath away. The atmosphere is unreal and the light is so clear. I can't explain it - you have to see for yourself!
















Not too shabby a spot to take brunch...and lunch and dinner


*stunning!*
