Have you seen the latest Lonny? As usual, it's packed full of eye candy, but my favorite feature is on Austria's Jagdgut Wachtelhof Ski Lodge. If this had been in an old-school-have-to-turn-the-pages magazine, its pages would be so dog-eared and covered with smudgy fingerprints by now. I have looked and studied and enlarged and read and re-read, over and over. I'm in love.
It is a small hotel, relatively speaking, with only 22 rooms. It was designed and run by a talented family with the intent of feeling like an intimate mountain home. What I love about this resort, is the connection from space to space. The same design details are used as a connector, but each space has it's own look.
The most prevalent details are the continuity of a light, sometimes limed wood. This same tone is used in the furniture, the floors, and the ceilings. The second detail, is the idea of an 'outline'-- either used as a border in the curtains, a contrasting piping on pillows and sofas, painted in the corners or under moldings on the walls, or as a border on the rugs. And the third, is a touch of red.
This stairwell connects the common areas to the hotel rooms. It showcases all of the 'details'--the dark green 'chair rail' stripe created simply with paint, the stairs are covered in a red runner and the curtains have a red and white border. The space is accented with simple, had carved chairs in bleached wood.
I am so smitten with this large stripe detail!! I am getting ready to redo Jacks room and I think i have finally found my inspiration!
And what a gorgeous double oval vanity {!} that is pulled away from the walls. You can catch a glimpse of the sliding mirrored wooden doors in the mirror.
