Its defining characteristic might best be described as the kind of house you’d imagine Seven Dwarves or some happy Hobbits heading home to at the end of a hard day of work. I see them all ove…
Property Porn: Dream Holiday Homes In Britain (PICTURES)
K found us a sweet package deal to Aspen*, including 3 nights in a very upscale hotel, the Viceroy at Snowmass Village. When we checked in on Friday afternoon I was indeed impressed. The lobby had this very elegant contemporary "fire and ice" display: We arrived at our "room" on the 6th floor (right below the penthouse) to find that it was actually a suite: *pardon our mess* Even our TV menu was personalized: The clincher, however, was this bath. It measured 15' x 18'....HUGE: We spent many happy hours (OK, maybe I exaggerate) under the shower rainhead: I honestly think 4 or 5 people could have comfortably fit in this shower. (There must be some mighty kinky folks in Colorado!) The shower was stocked with bottles of designer body wash, shampoo, and conditioner which were also available for purchase from the hotel boutique for $40 each. (We passed.) Every morning we put on our fuzzy robes and sat on our balcony, sipping espresso (her) and juice (me). We also found a German bakery in town and stocked up on a few pastries....yummy! Mr. Homebuilder here was impressed with the quality of things, too...Poggenpohl European cabinets, Viking, Wolf, & Bosch kitchen and laundry appliances, (2) LG flat screens, see-thru gas fireplace, granite tops and honed marble floors....all top quality stuff. I wasn't expecting to see this in a hotel! Valet parking, a concierge of course, an elegant restaurant and bar....it couldn't have been nicer. Now are you ready for the price? This was regularly a $650 per night room / suite, but we got it for $77 a night. All I can figure is that Kelly must have sounded SUPER sexy over the phone when she signed us up! *wink* :) S * "Aspen" is sometimes used generically to include the town and resort of Aspen, and also the nearby area that includes the resorts of Aspen Highlands, Buttermilk, and Snowmass Village. We stayed in Snowmass, but spent most of our time in Aspen proper.

Home is Where the Heart Is
A light-filled early-Victorian cottage overlooking St Ives is the perfect showcase for its owners’ charmingly quirky collections
KEY NOTES: Bitter orange, bergamot, mandarin, clary sage, jasmine sambac, orange blossom, cedarwood, tonka bean ABOUT THE FRAGRANCE: A fragrance that brings to mind the magnetic energy of the northern lights alongside the protective warmth of a cozy wooden house. Lining the little port of Flåm, the crimson cottages are flushed in the cheeks! Every day, they delight in the spectacle of their singular, Nordic environment, traced by the fjords. The red-hot name of this Norwegian village keeps them warm, this village tickled by contrasts, that embraces opposites, from bitter orange to tonka beans. Flåm is nestled on the road that crosses the majestic glacial valleys, where the lingering memories of Viking ships gliding through its waters remain. Cedar essence. Steeped in the hypnotic charm of scenery turned blue by wintertime. Clary sage. Once the fair weather returns, revealing a lush valley in endless hues, with the waterfalls singing in the background. Bergamot and sambac jasmine. The landscape becomes all the more intense upon entering the depths of the fjord, where the sea meets freshwater. The heart of Flåm beats. Pure vanilla. 2.5 oz.
