Last night I received the Jan/Feb issue of Elle Decor in the mail. When I saw the lovely cover photo of a seaside cottage in Portugal, I had to wince a little. I’ve already seen this photo many times online, perhaps on Tumblr and Pinterest.
Ok, I do understand how hard it must be to get content into a magazine and considering how long it takes to get it published, it is just not as fast as it would be as something posted online. But when I saw 2 or 3 other homes inside this issue that I have already seen before, well it kinda bummed me out.
BUT, one home I haven’t seen before and really fell in love with is Shoe Designer, Christian Louboutin’s private retreat in the Egyptian desert near the banks of the Nile. I love how it is not overly decorated, the clean and interesting lines of the architecture and the traditional furniture that DOESN’T fill up the space.. Nice.
