    Sleeping in the Treetops at Sweden’s Treehotel

    By Sara Bliss on July 11, 2011
    This is a hotel room. Really and truly! If you look closely at this pic, you’ll see it’s not the pretty vista it appears to be at first glance, but rather a giant mirrored box hung around a tree trunk and suspended 20 feet in the air.

    Splendor in Santorini: The Tsitouras Collection

    By Sara Bliss on July 5, 2011

    Ruthie Sommers Checks into The Palazzo Sasso

    By Sara Bliss on June 13, 2011
    When designer Ruthie Sommers and her pooch appeared on the cover of domino in front of a killer, graphic pink couch, she quickly became the poster girl for a new approach to decorating.  Ruthie’s early signatures–graphic prints paired with vintage finds, a vibrant approach to color, and a dose of laid back cool–inspired legions of fans (and imitators).  The genius of […]

    Suzani Chic at The Colony Palms

    By Sara Bliss on June 7, 2011

Designer Martyn Lawrence Bullard (currently vamping it up on Bravo’s Million Dollar Decorators) translated some of the best elements of Moroccan style to create this sexy and exotic hotel.
