Los Angles Chanel Store

The Rodeo drv. Chanel store, in Los Angeles, is possible one of our favorite high end stores ever. As many if you can guess, me and Samantha are sadly not frequent Chanel customers. However that does not stop us from loving the store! With an amazingly fashionable interior and sleek exterior, and beautiful clothes, the Rodeo Drive Chanel store, has it all! Check it out!

A must have for everyone!

Just came across this great design, a cup with a biscuit holder! Sitting down having a cup of tea and biscuits with your friends has never been easier!

D’Espresso Coffee Shop - Manhattan

We fell in-love when we came across this little New York coffee shop situated on Madison Avenue and 42nd St. The design of this coffee shop was inspired by the New York Public Library which is close by. This coffee shop was designed by the design firm 'Nemaworkshop' who wanted to create a sanctuary that enclosed customers in a world of books. If you are huge fans of the Nemaworshop designs, like us, you will know that they always add that extra edge to their designs which is what makes them so unique and that is why they decided to turn the whole design on it's side. The bookshelves are instead the floor, the herringbone-pattered oak flooring is now the wall and behind the counter, the light that would come through roof instead comes through the horizontal wall behind the counter. Honestly, this is one of our favourite designs, it's so unique and captivating!

A modern take on the 'den'. This 'den'contains one hell of a bookshelf, that is not only visually appealing but a great source of storage, for art, books and nicknack's . Love it!
