The bedroom! For some reason this has been the longest room in the making for us…still is. Maybe it’s because we just want to make sure the apartment looks like it’s in tip top shape when we have friends over, so we are a little more willing to put up with the hodge podge bedroom?

On the other hand, the bedroom should be our coziest and relaxing space, so that takes time, and lots of nurturing. I’m all about keeping it simple these days with lots of blush, gold, and white with relaxed vibes, but also finding ways to stay functional, since I have a messy one on my hands.

Travel is pretty much always on mind and i’d love to way more of it! I always have a thing for beautiful hotels. Below are a few that i’m dying to go to SOONer than later. 🙂

Encuentro Guadalupe // Baja, Mexico

Paul and I have been wanting to go to Baja for some time now. We almost planned to go over our holiday break and then almost made a quick stint to Mexico for the weekend, until we found it’s way harder to drive into Mexico than we thought. BUT! Once we do get there — I am staying here. How magical does it sound to stay in one of these little rooms nestled in a mountain, drink some wine and watch the stars. Amazing, right?

Amanagiri // Canyon Point, Utah

Seriously? So breathtaking. These images don’t even look real. I’ll have to save up all my shiny pennies to make it here, but fingers crossed we make it happen some day. Utah is another place that’s on my list and now that we live on the West Coast it’s so much easier to plan a fun road trip.

The Dylan // Amsterdam

I’ve seriously been dying to go to Amsterdam in the Spring ever since I saw photos of the tulip fields. Luckily, I think i’ve finally sold Paul on a Europe trip — it’s been too long! So I may have to try and convince him to let me stay here too.

The Parker // Palm Springs, California

I’ve been to Palm Spring a million times at this point, we even got married there. But I still have yet to stay at the Parker. I am a total sucker for anything Mid Century, and when you walk into this hotel, you instantly feel like you are in a 1960’s dream world.

We live in an older 1920’s apartment in Los Angeles — this was my dream when we were looking for places, I wanted something on the vintage side, something that had character. We found it, but with that, comes older not so nice details too. Bathrooms in LA are always a little tricky and i’ve been trying to find that perfect balance of highlighting those vintage aspects, but keeping it light and modern too. These photos below are keeping me inspired … and dreaming of that perfect bathroom one day too.

I’ve never been a die hard Halloween fan, but if there is an excuse to have party, i’m game. So we’re having another Halloween party this year.

It’s funny because neither Paul or I actually dress up, and basically find a last minute costume in our closets that day. I like to spend my time searching for festive snacks and drinks. I’m also all about hitting up the 99 cent store for decorations.

My cocktail research has me considering these spooky and delicious cocktails.

We’ve been living in our apartment now for about a year and half and let me tell you, it’s hard to decorate! There is so much I want to do, but sometimes it’s too hard to pull the trigger. We’re finally starting to get art up on the walls, but there is still blank space to be filled.

I’m loving these walls right now.
