Whare Kea Chalet in Vogue Living

The Whare Kea Chalet in the Southern Alps.

 

 

This is Whare Kea Chalet, found high in the Southern Alps and accessible by a 20 minutes helicopter ride from Wanaka. Connected to Whare Kea Lodge, this chalet is used as a winter base for heliskiing daytrips and for overnight stays in the summer. Vogue Living has highlighted this chalet's use as an artist residence - imagine staying here for 10 days to be inspired by the remote location and its dramatic surroundings? Stunning. Read more about it here.

A Beach House in the Hamptons from Vogue Living

Check out the lime green Chesterfield sofa.

Here's an interesting character - Aussie ex-pat Richard Christiansen rented this house in Montauk, East Hampton and then re-decorated the whole house to his specifications for the summer. He also re-planted the garden and brought his own bees!
It was a job of great dedication, sourcing props and furnishings for the "hyper-colour" and vintage style that he desired, it even included a buying trip to Hawaii (I want to meet this guy).
Christiansen did worry the owners would discover what he had done to their house and having to move everything out at the end of the summer - in which case it was all happily resolved when the owners DID find out and were absolutely delighted with his efforts that they actually offered to sell the house to him. Sigh - what a great story. Read the Vogue Living article here.
