Bali in LA (From Bali With Love)

A 1940's house in Santa Monica has been given new life by it's owners.

 After several years of reconstructing and $500,000, they were able to turn their English-style home into a fabulous bali-isnpired retreat.

The garden and master bedroom are just beautiful!

Looking For A Villa? (From Bali With Love)

I just came across this beautiful open air villa online and yes, it's for SALE! 

It's located in Canggu, the south of the Bali. It has 4 bedrooms, a swimming pool and views of the beach and the Indian Ocean! Nice!

If you were buying a villa, what features would you want it to have?

Ikat & A Balinese Daybed (From Bali With Love)

I'm loving this outdoor room!

You can create a similar look in your own home with exotic prints, aged wooden furniture, tropical plants, bamboo blinds...and don't forget a nice jute rug to top it off!

Villa Semadhi Bali (From Bali With Love)

I was contacted by a reader who owns a beautiful villa in Bali. It's available for rent and she wants to share it on From Bali With Love.

It is located in Pemuteran, northern Bali and sits right on the beach, so you can have the tranquil ocean at your front yard and Bali's northern mountains in your backyard. 

The villa has 4 suites, a large garden and staff on call to help you.

You can see more of Villa Semadhi on Flickr or you can visit Villa Semadhi's website to book your getaway!

Thank you Jane for sharing your villa with us!

New Bali Guidebook for KIDS (From Bali With Love)

What a great idea! I wonder why it's taken so long for this type of book to be published!

"Bali With Kids: Families Guidebook From Babies to Teenagers" is the newest book addition to hit the Bali publishing world. The book promises to cover all your needs and expectations for a vacation in paradise with children, including kid friendly hotels, restaurants, shopping, entertainment, medical issues, interaction with animals and even how to hold a fabulous birthday party in Bali!

The book can be purchased for Rp. 150,000 ($16.70) around various locations in Bali, as well as downloaded into an e-book from the website: Bali With Kids. I have got to find this book and add it to my collection!

MIA in Bali? (From Bali With Love)

Hello all! Hope you have been well. Sorry for the absence, as I've been busy planning a MUCH needed holiday. I'm also working on a few projects, that I have mentioned to you before. Ok, I'll give you some hints: book, music, business, web design. :) That's all the spoilers you get for now...want to save it for a special time when the projects are nearing completion.

Today, I want to leave you with this wonderful loveseat I discovered, by designer Jane Hamley Wells. It's called the Bali Loveseat. It's made from synthetic rattan and aluminum, which would hold up great outdoors! Though, I've never seen anything quite like it here in Bali, that doesn't mean that there aren't any. Bali has so many wonderful handicrafts and handmade furniture. Sometimes, I get almost overwhelmed from all the shops here. It is all so beautiful that I want to take home one of everything!

I have to say, this would look amazing on my outdoor patio!!

Before Christmas, Anthropologie introduced their new ikat collection. If you're new to my blog, I want to let you in on a little secret of mine: I love pattern, texture and color SO, naturally, I love ikat. Luckily for me, I live in Indonesia where ikat is readily accessible and available!

Here are some of my Anthropologie favs! Lots of ethnic touches, ikat and Indonesian inspired pieces...love, love, love it! Get ready to bookmark them, just in case anyone needs inspiration to buy me a birthday gift! :)
