Mint Ombre Wall


Mint ombre wall.jpg
This is, by far, my favorite DIY project by the P.S. I Made This. They always knock it out of the park but this mint green ombre wall is next-level-awesome. Mint is my very favorite color and an ombre effect is always welcome. Would you do this in your home?

Coworth Park

Set in 240 acres of idyllic Berkshire parkland, Coworth Park is a restored Georgian Manor House and estate with 70 rooms and suites. The Georgian charm of the original Coworth Park’s manor house estate has been enhanced with an eccentric decorative flair that is altogether contemporary. Details such as English smoked oak flooring blend seamlessly with an understated design palette full of subtle yet playful creative accents. 
The interiors at Coworth Park exhibit a distinctly modern flair. Our guests can look forward to fine materials, exquisite craftsmanship and bespoke furniture. There are some delightfully playful twists, not to mention the mod cons and luxuries that make modern life bearable. So, whether you get your boots muddy or venture no further than the restaurant, make sure you have some fun. 
Set in “The Royal Landscape” of Berkshire, Coworth Park is in one of the finest locations in England and just a stone’s throw from Windsor Great Park. It is the perfect spot for guests to take pleasure in many of England’s greatest traditions, be it a day’s racing at Royal Ascot, afternoon tea in the conservatory, croquet on the lawn, a round of golf at neighbouring Wentworth or Sunningdale, or simply enjoying a family picnic in the woods. 
And for the more modern traditions, there is always the eco-luxury Spa with 8 treatment rooms (including 2 doubles) and an indoor pool. In perfect harmony with its surroundings the Coworth Park Spa is partially submerged in the hillside and the ‘living roof’ is used to cultivate many of the herb and flowers found within the spa’s natural treatments. 
With a rich equestrian heritage Coworth Park is the only hotel in the UK with its own polo fields. With stabling for up to 40 horses guests can benefit from the team of professional trainers to take riding lessons or learn to play polo, whilst the more experienced riders can go for a canter across the open fields on the estate.

Hotel Americano

http://www.fivestaralliance.com/files/fsa/nodes/2011/20622/20622_0_hotelamericano_fsa-xl.jpg
Two decades after bringing a distinctly high design sensibility to cities and resorts in their native Mexico, Carlos Couturier and Moises Micha are tackling an entirely different market: New York City. With their new Hôtel Americano, located in the middle of Chelsea’s art gallery district, the partners are celebrating both their love of contemporary art and their passion for Manhattan. 
A New Yorker is always an Americano, because they live in a city where they have to adapt all the time. Set in a former parking garage, the Hôtel Americano has a cool industrial Manhattan veneer but a warm Latin soul. 
The 56-room hotel features decidedly Mexican touches, like an outdoor rooftop pool that becomes a hot tub in winter, along with very New York-style details like iPads in every room that are full of recommendations for the best local galleries, restaurants and shops. Hôtel Americano has two restaurants and bars, as well as locally-produced bicycles guests can use to explore the High Line and Hudson River Park.
