    By Sara Bliss on October 4, 2011
    When I was looking at gorgeous pictures of the luxe Ranch at Rock Creek in Montana, I came across this spectacular birch canopy bed. Handmade in Wisconsin by La Lune , it beautifully brings the outdoors in. I think the bed would be amazing in an unexpected setting, a city apartment perhaps. This reminded me of a similar bed that was […]

  • Girly Style at La Villa Les Anges

    By Sara Bliss on August 4, 2011
    The toile. The stripes. The Ooh La La of it all. I love the girly design of the Appartement Stagadon on the Brittany Coast of France. If you’re dreaming of a few days off in a seaside French fishing village, the 2-bedroom flat looks like a lovely spot (plus they are running a special for 130 euros per night). Located on in the […]
