Take me away... to France

 

Let's face it some days your inbox can be more foe than friend...   That has been my last couple of days, one icky email after another (with a few exceptions).  Well this morning when this little beauty landed in my in box I felt someone had thought of me and sent me this special getaway even if just for a few moments..  The really cool part is that you can actually go to this beautiful place and stay as long as you might like to.  This is a beautiful Villa from Haven in Paris and although it is out of my budget for travel this year it would be the perfect setting to make some beautiful memories with family and friends.

One gorgeous space after another to would invite you to relax and dream of a wonderful life in the French countryside.  Take a few minutes to go there... if even only in your dreams.. see isn't that better?  I feel better already!  (okay now back to work)

These Bargello graphic geometric pillows take a sofa from basic to brilliant in seconds flat.

Mix up the patterns like the Honeycomb for a full-on Adler invasion.

Little Piggy all dressed up in polka dots holds the cookies.

Carnaby porcelain nesting trays in a mix of 3 patterns add a dash of fun for jewelry on your nightstand or serving little treats.

Hold down piles of paper in style with monogram needlepointed letter paperweights. Anything personalized makes a great go-to gift.

LOVE these.  Pull out the coasters for canapes and olives, they are good to have on hand with cocktails to entertain your world weary friends.

Your dog can enjoy mealtime in style with vividly striped stoneware dog bowls in an array of colorful alternating stripes.

This poppy square patterned Peter alpaca throw in a graphic artistic style for a burst of color on upholstery.

 

Last but not least, the Preston Game Table in stamped faux-croc  can perform double duty as a card and dining table for smaller living spaces.

How very cool

Thank you Malibongwe Tyilo from 'Skattie what are you wearing' for mentioning the 'tak bok' as his favourite bokkie in the VISI autumn Magazine.

Flippin' love his blog... it's terribly fun and most importantly rather irreverent (well, that's what I kinda get) and the attention to detail in his pics is brilliant. I'd probably have to melt into the floor in my t-shirt and jeans if we ever came across each other... eeekkkkk
