Centrale
Built in 2001
Beirut, Lebanon
Architect Bernard Khoury
Our last night in Beirut we went to a great place called Centrale for some drinks (dodo shots to be exact....a seemingly delicious yet quite spicy drink with an olive…of course). The restaurant is housed on the ground floor in a large open, yet cozy space. The ceilings are high and stop where the bar begins. The bar, almost hanging, in the building is accessible by elevator (one of the coolest elevators I have ever seen….lounge bed included). The Centrale Bar is a round tube (to put is lightly) which hangs on top of the restaurant, has ceilings which open during the summer and is architecturally very interesting to see. Certainly a must go to place while in Beirut .

Decorating a house starts and ends with the small details. One way to add "cozy" to my home was to add pillows every where. I have loads of pillows on the coach, on the lounge, on the porch chairs; I just adore them.
tulips and butterflies
Lulu DK's hand painted designs are incredibly cute. Of course I especially love this design as it includes tulips. Check out her blog here.
