Whitewash beauty

Looking through the recent additions to Location Works I came across this eclectic whitewashed apartment. This is a look that the British do so well. Slightly eccentric, slightly decayed but with luxury touches it is a calm almost zen like place. I so want to soak in that tub.

Essaouira

Jo posted a while back about "Castles in the Sand", homes for rent in the Moroccan coastal city of Essaouira. I was on the website for these homes and found so many amazing photos that I had to do an encore. I would give anything to take a vacation right now, and to a place this beautiful. *sigh*

New York locations

SNAP is a website for photo productions - including some very cool New York homes that can be used for photography locations. Here are some of my favourites.

Hunting tigers in the tulips

Please Sir may I have this house? And this garden? Especially the tulips. Eccentric, quirky, well loved and well worn. Historic, irreverent and down right British! I love this decorating style, part shambling 19th century digs, part inherited my great uncle's furnishings with lashings of boarding school fun. OK I made that up but you must admit the Brits do this so well. Tiger print and tulips. Yes please!

French fancy

Dreaming of a house in France? Perhaps a coach house rich with history? Throw in an overstuffed, cosy, slightly shabby interior that just screams kids and dogs and long lunches and local wine and perhaps this house in Normandy may just be the stuff of your fantasies. Nothing is precious but everything is loved. I can just imagine summer escapes to such a house. Dream on.
