Let’s visit every inch of this Chateau in Provence

Warning: This post may cause severe temporary displacement. The Chateau Moissac, a seventeenth-century noble family’s home nestled in the hilltops of haute Provence is nothing short of dreamy.

The Absurdity of this Double-decker Hot Tub will Steal your Heart

Firstly, let’s feel sorry for the lonely guy sitting on the left. He probably farted and cleared that side of the tub. But in all honesty, this scene of people enjoying a 750 x 220 x 154 Luxeme 8000 Swim Spa makes me feel angry. I really, really want to hate it and brand these joyous…

That 70s Home

With stomach-turning wall-papers, nightmarish polyester fabrics and psychadelic nonsense, seventies décor is supposed to be impossibly tacky… isn’t it?! Browsing through these photos however, of 60s & 70s decor from the Encyclopdia of Good Decorating and Home Improvement, I couldn’t help but fall in love with every single overly-textured, madly accessorized, color-blinding décor style.

And Now, a DIY Steampunk Trailer fit for Travelling the World in 80 Days

For some of us, DIY means hanging up a few picture frames at the weekend, or giving the garden shed a new lick of paint. For Dave Moult of Malmesbury in Wiltshire, England, DIY means building a teardrop trailer from scratch that Jules Verne would have been jealous of… This is actually the sixth teardrop trailer David…
