The Ranch at Live Oak Malibu.

Promoting both fitness and mental well being, The Ranch at Live Oak Malibu is the type of detox locale we would like to check into indefinitely. From serious workouts & long hikes to daily nap sessions in a spa-like atmosphere, the attitude behind The Ranch is all about sustainable exercise & healthy activity moderated over time. Food is grown in The Ranch's very own organic garden, and created with the freshest ingredients by a master chef. All this pampering aside, the Ranch itself looks quite beautiful in it's appearance, sporting clean white walls, floors & doors made out of reclaimed scaffolding, stacks of logs piled high to the ceiling, antique terra cotta planters, and indoor-outdoor environments only possible in a Southern California climate. If you don't hear from us for a week, you know where we'll be.

Calistoga Ranch in Napa Valley via Remodelista.

The Calistoga Ranch is the wine-drinking Rough Luxe lover's dream come true. Complete with it's own vineyard, in it's own valley (!!) this 5 star resort begs to be explored with a warm gaze and a private vibe. Cedar lodges, outdoor showers, carved walking sticks, grazing sheep, fresh well water, & beehives are all accessible amenities of this ultimate getaway. Thank to Remodelista for the tip!

Gjelina.

Gjelina is a highly attractive fine dining establishment located right on Abbott Kinney in the beachside neighborhood of Venice, CA. For almost three years Gjelina has been holding down it's territory as the ultimate luxury meets casual, private vs. communal, exquisite, and yet rustic, restaurant. Stand out items on the menu are definitely the pizzas which come piping hot out of the oven just moments before landing on your table. The decor is dark, softly lit, woody, and workshop like with many of the seating arrangements actually created using benches and stools. Considering this place is always jam packed when we pass by, Gjelina seems to be doing something very right.

Glamping.

There's been a lot of talk about this new genre of "Glam Camping" going around the HQ here. It's Rough. It's Luxe. What do you think? Comments are encouraged!

Bowery Coffee

Located at 89 E Houston St between Bowery & Elizabeth St, Bowery Coffee pours unbelievably delicious coffee from within a space resembling more of a bread line pick-up bakery circa 1940 than a coffee shop. And that'a good thing; a very good thing! We love the no holds bar rustic & industrial design of this spot. Maybe it's the caffeine talking, but it might be our favorite coffee bar in New York City. Yes, we just said that.

Paris Bedroom Redo from Remodelista.

This recent post from Remodelista features a recent bedroom redo by Desiree of Vosges Paris. By using a minimal color palate and subtle cues from both custom industrial resources and Moroccan culture, Desiree has transformed a small space into something both clean and warm. We particularly love the use of grey and black in this instance, especially the grey tape on the mood board! Nice one, Desiree!

Many thanks to Remodelista! One of our favorite websites. Period.

Richard Shapiro's Malibu Home.

From Architectural Digest comes a home of epic Rough Luxe status. Designer and antiques deal Richard Shapiro's beachfront Malibu home can only be described at historically luxurious. 15th century tables reside alongside 17th century mirrors hung on 18th century paneled walls, paired with 19th century stools and lit by contemporary lamps all centered around vintage mid-century coffee tables. Every rooms covers century after century of collectors items. All too appropriate for an antiques dealer, we suppose. Roman, Italian, Moroccan, and even Thai furniture stud the retreat which breathes with light and the austerity of a fort. Truly a unique home of epic proportions.
