It's Friday and I've had a long week so I thought it might be nice to get away, what better place to go than to Beyoglu design district in Istanbul. It's always fun to see how other people live and what other cultures consider luxurious. Istanbul seems to like fancy, super extra special fancy, didn't get much while i was there but certainly got an eyeful.
There were so many of these ceramic shops, all of various quality....visual and other, the metalware was more to my liking
This shop was enormous...they went for silver rather than the more splashy gold
Lots of heavily carved furniture of unknown date or provenance
The green chair was of really high quality
There were so many tchotchke shops.....
And a few high style shops with good quality items.
So much fun....can't wait to go back.
