LLOVE is only temporary.

Someday, and maybe sometime more details in another post, I will stay in the Lloyd Hotel in Amsterdam but today if wishes made things true…I’d be on a plane to Tokyo before November 23.  And shortly thereafter having a slumber party at the LLOVE Hotel (in the mattress room, if possible). This very Japanese pop-up hotel is an art/architect collaboration between Japanese architect Jo Nagasaka and Lloyd director Suzanne Oxenaar (plus several guest Dutch and Japanese artists) and I really, really want to jump on these beds!

Designed by Richard Hutten, here's just a snippet of this room's description:

As an extra layer, referring to the outdoor, you will find some leaves growing on strange places. The room is not suitable for business men on a business trip, but very suitable for tourists not in a hurry, people in love, and everyone who knows how to enjoy life!

Book your stay (or just check out the rooms) here and here.

spending time daydreaming about impossible seaside getaways to attend fairs that ceased long ago...

Nothing more fun than a bevy of colorful beach huts!

Give me Liberty or give me flowers! Maybe both.

Truly, liberty prints and detailed, paint-by-number floral patterns have been a bit on overkill lately but I couldn't resist checking out Liberty of London's collection at Target.
And discovered, when it comes to floral, it's definitely appealing when it has to do with gardening!

Didn't see them in stock though so I instead decided on some posh, Liberty loungewear and am now sipping a cocktail and pseudo-channeling my own glamorous grandmother. Doubt that's turn-on for the Boo but it's inspired me to shop for patio furniture on craigslist and I just now found an awesome new loungey couch.
I'm deliberately keeping quiet about the former Neat Freak 101 postings because they inspired a sort of madness around here. We've thrown almost all our furniture out!
It's like the yearly move has been transformed into a massive redecorating party instead.
Who knows what will happen now?
