The interior was designed by Vancouver architect/designer Omer Arbel. Featuring a wonderful, unique chandelier that is a jumble of copper wires and hand blown glass lights and vessels planted with cacti and succulents by Olla Urban Flower Project.
Reclaimed wood slabs serve as tables, benches and a bar top, while a forest of steel tubes making up the table and bench legs to contrast.
 I'd love to have a meal here,I still haven't eaten at a Mexican restaurant. Maybe a trip to Vancouver is in order?

Imagine a summer spent at the San Giorgio Hotel in Mykonos, Greece. With such a stunning interior I would find it hard to leave my room, although the tempting Aegean sea at your feet could win me over.

Wisconsin photographer Margaret Durow has an amazing collection of magical and dreamy images.

"I take photos because I want to remember how I feel. Life feels equally meaningless as it is important, and taking photos in my everyday life, and sharing them, is a way for me to preserve the meaning and to keep me from feeling too insignificant. It reminds me of the connections between everything around and within me, and how everything is always changing but part of a continuous cycle."
