Tuesday's Design - Star Beds


I was in line at the grocery store the other day flipping through Condé Nast Traveler when I came across this a-ma-zing space at Loisaba Widerness Lodge in Kenya. Can you imagine sleeping under the stars to this level and then waking up to a view like this?? Aesthetically, I love how everything is kept very simple because the star of the show is not about the bed but all about the view. You can definitely count me in on any vacation (or alternative lifestyle) that involves more of this!

Ok not to be a downer -- and I do like the view -- but the Africa I know and love (albeit I've never been to Kenya and the East is very different from my reference point of the West I hear) is a place where (1) its DARK at night (a la your post yesterday) and (2) things come out at night even when there are four walls. An encounter with a ginormous bug which took on horror movie like dimensions in the glare of a flashlight, in the midnight hour, in the village, was all I needed to cut down my fluid intake by mid-afternoon to ensure no roaming around when the generator is off for the night!!! I just can't imagine sleeping in the open like that and worse having to pay for it!!! Now that I have completely spoiled the moment -- it is very pretty. . . .
