Fasano Hotel : Rio De Janeiro

THOUGHTS ~
‘ah’ love Rio…count the ways and so on.

by Ani Tzenkova

 

We were lucky enough to make a trip to Rio before the end of the year work madness. Rio is one of those places that every time I land I feel at home. A trip there can never be disappointing. While visiting with friends and hopping from wedding to wedding, a usual weekend social event in Rio, we stayed at the Fasano Hotel the hippest and most desired hotel in Rio.

The Fasano is a boutique hotel centrally located in the heart of Ipanema beach with an 180 degree view of the ocean and one of Rio’s best surf breaks, at Arpoardor Beach. The hotel is designed by Philippe Starck and every part of the hotel has been designed and considered with impeccable taste. The rooftop pool area is perhaps the most coveted part of the stay and experience.

A wide open view of Rio’s beaches from one end to the other as well as all the landmark mountains and even the Corcovado are in plain view as you sit poolside with great food and drinks at your service. There really is not a better place to hideaway as the beaches start to fill up on the summer weekends. And to add to the allure of the experience the pool is limited to guests only.

A Designer Couple’s Home

COMMENT: Not saying this is great, but I respect the thought.

Robert and Cortney Novogratz have more than one reason to be famous. Besides being self-taught designers they have 7 kids all under the age of 13! Well, actually it is not just that; while coping up with the battalion, they manage to work on their design projects and also star in a reality television series!

Needless to say, the house is massive, with several rooms amongst which include a gym, a basketball court and spaces that show plenty of personality. The couple’s bedroom has an Indian style bed, with paintings and a life-size limited edition chair. The house sports a mixture of styles and a variety of curios. (Check out the spacecraft like seating in the bedroom). Overall this place looks like a treat to live in. The couple lives a high life, are raising their kids with style and it shows.

Blue kitchens | Interior Designs And Home Ideas

Blue is actually not a common color used for kitchens. It is more suited to rooms that are meant for relaxation as it is regarded as a calm and restful color. Still, some people view it as a mood booster as this Mediterranean color can sometimes remind one of the summer and sea. In this post, we have compiled together a list of blue kitchens from some of Europe’s top kitchen makers. Enjoy the pictures!
