Potato Head!

Cocktails at Potato Head = BLISS!!!  Check out my favorite place to chill out in Bali, are you jealous yet?  I was just in heaven here, and I never wanted to leave.  In fact I wish I was there again right now! 
Old reclaimed window shutters were sourced from around Indonesia and used for the exterior cladding.  The combination of local reclaimed materials used in a new modern building really appeals to me.  And it looks absolutely stunning on the curved facade.  Potato Head is by Indonesian architect Andra Matin, one of the country's leading architects. 

I love the mid century furniture in one of the lounge areas.  Quite unexpected for a Bali location, not a frangipani or thatched hut to be found here!

 Who doesn't love a bar in the pool?  Who?  I can cross that one off my bucket list now!

A really great example of resort architecture.  Actually reminded me of mid century LA design, totally love it!

 The shutters light up beautifully at night.  Stunning.

A friend recommended Potato Head on our recent trip to Bali for a wedding and wow, it totally blew me away!  Amazing view, delicious cocktails (I mean seriously amazing), yummy snack food, a few gorgeous restaurants, cruisey music and AMAZING architecture/ interiors.  What more could I possibly want?  Shopping?  Well there's a gorgeous boutique, Eleven in the basement too!

Amazing Subway Stations In Moscow

The Stockholm subway system is said to be the longest art exhibition in the world - 110 kilometers in length. Traveling by subway is like traveling through an exciting story that extends from the artistic pioneers of the 1950s to the art experiments of today. Over 90 of the 100 subway stations in Stockholm have been decorated with sculptures, mosaics, paintings, installations, engravings and reliefs by over 150 artists. It�s a part of a long tradition of public art for public transport.

The Kungstr�dg�rden subway station looks like an archaeological excavation, with the remains of the old Stockholm Makal�s palace. At �stermalmstorg the artist Siri Derkert highlights women's rights and peace and environmental issues. The roof of one Stockholm station is red-lit, making it appear to be covered in billowing flames, and another boasts ancient-looking statues carved out of the tunnel walls.

Another has also taken a classical theme, with foliage entwined around pillars; while others are more modern, with rainbows painted over the rough-hewn rock surface and multi-coloured arrows pointing passengers in the right direction.

Their website states: 'The art makes the stations perceived as more beautiful, safer and it helps to make the trip into something more than just a transport between two places.
