...goodness: outdoor retreats

The temps are a risin, hiiiigh 90's later this week.  While most look for reprieve inside with air conditioning, I prefer air conditioning a' la Mother Nature outdoors; a breeze and some shade thank you...

 

No shade, but this amazing Moroccan patio would be perfect for an early morning.

An early evening Ouzo from this Santorini terrace?  Say no more.

This little gem is more farmhouse than tropical, but I love it!  You can feel the coolness just looking at it.  Southwest France.

I dream of the day that I have a yard to replicate this "bohemian paradise".  It's so "Out of Africa"!

love it, live it: movie inspired interiors, miss taro's jaimacan bungalow bedroom

The sexy, villainous secretary happened to live in a lovely and quaint hillside bungalow in Jamaica.  My interpretation combines a little of everything; a little glam, a touch of tropical with sophisticated textures.  All the while remaining pretty, cool, comfortable and might I say, sexy?

exterior goodness: tropical cottage

This would be a lovely home for tomorrow's tropical bedroom...

love it, live it: movie inspired interior, dr. no

 

 

The very first Bond film, Dr. No, is my favorite.  #1, it was the start of one of the coolest and most stylish movie franchises ever.  #2, it is sexy, introducing us to the ultimate femme fatales, Bond Girls.  #3, the set design.
