Good morning & Happy Monday! I had the lovely fortune of experiencing this tiny gem of a boutique hotel in LA {silverlake} this past weekend. The decor was SO chic that even though it wasn’t typically “me,” I still walked away wanting to umyouknow, live there. Welcome to my mini tour.

Kitchen:

Gorgeous mid-century modern dining tables and chairs. Red lacquer kitchen cabinets (um, totally amazing), limes ready to be sliced on the counter, and a handwritten note with the details of the breakfast to be served the following morning. French doors connect to the bedroom.

Living Room:

Dark and loungy infused with hints of traditional Mexican decor {again, amazing}. Also featured: a huge mounted tv, board games {including ‘I Never’}, and a record player with records. Yes, please.

Bedroom:

And of course, I saved the best for last. The bedroom with dramatic large scale wallpaper, ornate headboard and leopard print sheets, and the same traditional Mexican accents. Pure perfection.

The only room I didn’t get a photo of was the bathroom. Done entirely in the same colors as the living room, deep purples and plums with a walk-in shower. Also, all the doors were on tracks with super industrial anodized iron. Lovelove. Rumor has it they may have a shop section on their website soon. Yes, please.

Highly, highly recommended.

1. Friendships can be challenging
2. I am finally willing to admit that my stress level has exceeded what is healthy {I am crying pretty much at the drop of a hat}
3. It doesn’t matter how old you are, sometimes when you’re sick you just want your mom
4. I’m clingier than I used to be {is this a good thing, or a bad thing?}
5. I am less motivated to sew now that there is no space for my table to be set up {boo!}
6. Antibiotics require a full meal beforehand
7. Good thrift stores exist in the mission {so I hear…}
8. I ♥ the concept of outdoor living. I dream of having a space like that someday {HGTV marathon on Friday!}
9. Part of the reason I like to watch HGTV so that I can criticize people {yeah, that’s probably not the greatest thing to admit}
10. I REALLY, REALLY want this kitchen. Like it’s the best kitchen I’ve ever seen. Especially big on that tile, and that stove!
