As a kid I spent lots of time in Brighton, on the south coast of England. And now, whenever we travel back to the UK, we always try and head down to walk the Promenade and see the sights. One of those particular sights is The Royal Pavilion which, to this day, still takes my breath away. How crazy/amazing is it? Well, take a look below. Yup, it's in England, not India (and the interiors are just as bizarre as the exterior, with a dragon in the dining room and palm trees in the kitchen). And, while the warm beige stone exterior adds a nice air of class, I do miss the garish old pink and blue paintjob that I remember from my childhood.
For a touch of updated Regency madness I thought I'd include this charming Currey & Co table, which I think would look just smashing set next to a clean-lined modern sofa.
