The interview with Andrew Zolty of studio Breakfast will be published next week!

The most popular post this week was a decadent bathtub. If you find yourself in Granges-Paccot, Switzerland, you can stop by the Auberge aux 4 Vents (ā€œFour Winds Innā€) and ask for the Cupidon suite.

It seems like the right flap makes an extraneous movement at the end; I wonder if it’s an accident or if it’s a ā€œcheckā€ motion to ensure the folded t-shirt is within the dimensions of the bag.
