Roulotte Playhouse

Here's a playhouse styled as a roulotte -- how incredible this would be if you were a kid.

Stay in a Gypsy Caravan

Stardust reminded me of the awesomeness of gypsy caravans, also known as roulottes. Did you know there are lots of roulottes all over Provence, France that you can rent? Really! There's a great article on the history of the caravans -- and their resurgence -- in Travel and Leisure.


And here's a very long listing of roulettes to rent in France. The pictures here all came from those listings.

Stardust

Did you see the movie Stardust? It's a sweet fairy tale, but the eye candy by production designer Gavin Bocquet is what sold me.

Bright, colorful marketplaces.

Shops that sell lightning (to airship pirates!)

Spooky Grand Halls

Gypsy Caravans

And did I mention airship pirates?

Pharmacy Style, III

Counting photos on the wall...

This is awesome -- the Chicago loft of stylist Jeffrey Moss.


The photo arrangement is incredible.

Pharmacy Style, part II

Victorian Pharmacy is a new BBC series recreating the work of an actual Victorian Pharmacy (minus the opium and arsenic, of course).

Here's a video with great shots of the interior.

Thanks to Robert Williams Hitchin for pointing this out.

Pharmacy Style, part I

I seem to know two young people studying to be pharmacists, and two inspirational images of pharmacy inspired interiors came across my desk recently -- I thought budding pharmacists would be as interested in old fashioned, romantic, pharmacy inspired living as I am in difference engines and abacuses.

Here's the first -- the creative workspace of Elizabeth Maxson, featured in Where Women Create, May 2010. She uses a painted drug store cabinet to hold all of her supplies (above).


I love this dispensing decanter -- Ben thinks we ought to use a collection of these to set up a bar!

An old drugstore sign... with calipers hanging off of it!
