Hotel Du Marc of Veuve Clicquot

The Hôtel du Marc is a HOME. We like to think that ''Architects build houses. Human beings build homes''. The Hôtel du Marc is soulful, warm, inviting; a memorable place and experience.

The detail.

 

traditional elegance meets red  neon chandelier by Jugnet + Clairet.

 

the reflection.

 

that moulding. that floor. that sculpture. that wall color.

such simple elegance.

stunning.  like fine jewelry.

the experience.

Gosh wouldn't it be wonderful to be one of the first lucky guests to stay at the newly renovated Hotel Du Marc of Veuve Clicquot in Reims, France.  Well Costas over at Yatzer was and I'm a bit jealous!  All I have is a Veuve Clicquot pillow that an unnamed someone somehow managed to bring back from a party in New Zealand.  I guess this pillow, these amazing photos, and this interview with Sabina, the International Marketing Manager, and the first lady behind Bruno Moinard's incredible design will just take my breath away for now!  Until next time...when hopefully I'll be sipping on some champagne and experiencing this for myself! xx

Maison Moschino

Just today I got my tickets to the Salone Internazionale del Mobile in Milan and am super excited! I studied in Rome, Italy in college, but had something crazy happen right before our trip to Milan and never made it. Now... I finally get to return. I am not sure where we are staying, but I would love it if we were staying here at the Maison Moschino.


Every room is different, and each one based around a fairy tale theme because "to sleep is perchance to dream, and dreams are fairy tales that we are allowed to experience first hand, the fables of a fantasy world that we have created."






I highly doubt there are any rooms available, but I am going to have to stop by and take a look at this gorgeous and innovative hotel. When I was a little girl I had a reoccurring dream about Alice and Wonderland and I can't help but wonder if I would have that dream as I lay down to sleep in one of these rooms. Zzzzzz...

Story Hotel

This looks like heaven! Oh but it's not...it's Story Hotel...an amazing design hotel in Stockholm. What a wonderful conversion of an existing structure by the Swedish design team Koncept. The restaurant at Story Hotel just won the European Hotel Design Award for Restaurant Interior Design of the Year! I wish I could go visit for the holidays! 'Tis the season that wishes come true, right?!

The doors of the existing building were reused as headboards...awesome! I love this bathroom! I want my bathroom at home to look just like this!

Love this detail!

Story Hotel has collaborated with Wonderwall, a new kind of art dealer, to fill the walls with gorgeous and one-of-a-kind art.

aww...so pretty!

stunning! I would love to sit and sip my coffee here!
