Calcium Sulphate...

I've not posted in a while and am feeling withdrawal symptoms already. Today's post is an ode to anonymous street artists participating in a... chalk festival, hence the calcium sulphate. These photographs are from a friend who's on the most fabulous trip in the states (hawaii, LA, vegas etc). Ahh the lucky dude!

Longing for a break and an amazing trip,
Peace out for the weekend

Simple is More

Loving these open-plan, minimalist, monochrome, subtle decor. And how they manage not to end up being blah. Details like the wallpapered wall, chimney feature wall, statement lamps and rugs work well for achieving this. And keeping these in mind, you can adapt for cottage living, apartment living, country living etc. The gallery from housetohome features lots of incredibly stylish rooms and these are my favorites.

Hooked on Villa Oasis

Villa Oasis. Situated at Grand-Baie, Mauritius, this casa is meant for indoor-outdoor living.

For lazy afternoons, for farniente!

And for hard partying by night, look at the fabulous deck and the 'lounge' appeal. Okay, may be not dancing, but for entertaining in style. I see no BBQ area, but let's pretend there is.

Plus, we're all set for the cocktails, the coconut tree is literally at hand. How cool is that.

The bedrooms all open up to the terrace...

Master Bedroom

Guestrooms

Lurve the kitchen too, wouldn't mind cooking delish things in here

Do I need to mention that being located in Home in Paradise, the beach is not far away:) I'll see you there then?...
