vacation-continued

: : then we continued our vacation at our favorite place...our Swedish summerhouse. With more lazy days filled with family competitions, swimming and diving on the dock, dinners outdoors in that golden Swedish summer light, mushroom picking and eating (crazy amounts of mushroom), midnight swims with glowing plankton....warming up in the sauna in between. there is no better place in the world!

Costa Brava vacation

: : as you might have noticed, it's been quiet here on the blog. we just came back from two weeks of fantastic vacation in Spain and Sweden. We returned to our favorite fishing village, Sa Tuna, Costa Brava, for one week, this time with our best Swedish friends. There were seven of us in one house with a pool and endless beautiful beaches to choose from. We spent our days swimming, suntanning, snorkeling (we saw octopus!) playing, cooking and eating delicious food at night. And Yahtzee of course, super- yahtzee.

The dimensions are 84"L x 19" D x 36" H. The price is $3500. Lead time is roughly 8 weeks...

You can find it here.

Destination Inspiration: {El Cartligto, Spain}

{..."El Carligto is a private and secluded 3.5 hectare (10 acre) country estate perched in the mountains of Andalucia (Andalusia), near Malaga, Spain... Set atop a private hill, bordering an Andalucian mountain nature reserve and overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, El Carligto is a rustic luxury villa retreat and an exclusive destination in itself... El Carligto is an ideal base from which to explore the mountains and beaches, the cities of Malaga, Granada, Cordoba and Seville or the quaint local whitewashed villages so immersed in the region’s Moorish history."}

Upholstered Bed-Favorite Item of the Day

We found this bed at the Las Vegas market last week and we just loved it! It has the right mixture of wood and fabric. The classic style will never go out of style.

The bed can be customized with different fabric and nailheads. Pricing is not so bad, about $2200 for a king. The lead time is about 4-6 weeks.

We'll be posting this item in our upholstered beds section today so check it out!

Inspiration: {Le Salon Haute Couture de Dior}

{...dear readers, it pleases me to inform that I have finally finished four months of French language training, an experience which I will always remember... although enriching, being a full-time adult learner was extremely draining... I look forward to returning to my familiar routine,... but first a well-deserved vacation and an virtual escape into the world of Dior..., xo}
