BEAUTY: Interior

This spectacular retro gem in Melbourne, Australia has been renovated and restored to its former 50s-60s Palm-Springs-esque glory. It is hard to tell what is original and what is "new" retro (I have my suspicions), but I can easily see all new appliances in the kitchen. So the house has been updated, but faithfully so. And the furniture choices are period-perfect!

And it is available for weekly rent--fully furnished! Click on the link at the bottom...

BEAUTY: Photography--Ben Sandler

Inspired by the television show "Mad Men" and films of the original period, Parisian photographer Ben Sandler rented legendary Finnsih architect and designer Alvar Aalto's historic Maison Carré (which was designed and created by Aalto for Frenchart dealer Louis Carreé), and shot a series of photos that reflects the period's fascination with the future. Titled "Tomorrowland," this is retro and the shape of things to come at once. The lighting fixtures are original to the building, which is now an Aalto museum.
