A fabulous Villa in St. Bart’s

The island of St. Bart’s is known for its amazing views and laidback way of life where the truly rich and elite go to escape their busy schedules. A perfect place for travel and vacation, this is the place where the rich and famous spend their moolah and time when they want to unwind. There are many different villas that are all magnificently built and designed in St. Bart’s and I am just in awe at the interiors of each villa and the scenic views from these abodes. And this particular four-bedroom villa perched on the crown of the mountain in Lurin, St. Bart’s has sensational features, it has lush tropical gardens, stunning large two infinity edge pool with magnificent deck area and a spectacular harbor view. This fabulous villa is aptly called Au Soleil where you can enjoy spectacular sunset views from different terraces and vantage points. Enjoy the images of this fabulous villa as you take a virtual holiday in St. Bart’s, it has been quite a while since we’ve had a travel feature.

Color Explosion

The Wiseman Group

I love colors in homes especially if they are skillfully used and applied. They liven up a place and make spaces bright and cheerful. Here are some colorful rooms and spaces that will hopefully inspire you to use more color in your homes especially those who have already lived in white walled homes for years.
