Casa Amatller, Barcelona

What an absolutely beautiful polished jewel of a home! I can smell the cigars, hear the fire crackling as I explore this stunning multi-storied building on the Paseig de Gracias.I don’t have to imagine the lace curtains and the fine china.Bevelled windows, stained glass polished like jewels. The winter sun shines through casting doppels in mosaic tile corridors, each step drawing me further into a labyrinth of more design.

Monet’s Garden, Giverny

one of the most beautiful gardens of the world, a day spent at Giverny on my milestone birthday was the best gift ever.
