Only in Dubai

I love San Francisco, but sometimes it's good to see what they're up to in other places of the world. I have recently come across some items of interest that have not yet made it to SF, but they're worth a look. My thing of the day is going on summer vacation...

Starting really far away. In Dubai.

With all those new luxury condos going up there, I'm sure there's a great market for interior designers to finish the look. If you're lucky enough to be in the Armani or Versace buildings, there's no doubt that they'll come with complete home decor packages as well. But if you are in one of the other skyscraper oases, or want to infuse a more retro-modern look, and less casbah style, you may want to consider the services of Luxe Interior. This London based company has a series of pre-set collections for you to choose from, all assembled by designers like Terrance Conran or Orla Kiely. My favorites are the Conran Partners Lustre Bedroom and the Orla Kiely Colour House Living room. Pick yours for your virtual vacation condo!

All of this can be yours at the low price of roughly 140,000 AED for a 1BR. Whatever that comes out to...
