Good Food Center Street Anaheim


Yesterday morning we went to the small flea market in downtown Anaheim, there was not much for me at the flea market but I fell in love with the new shops in the area.  This little cafeteria style restaurant was one of the best local designs I have seen lately.  LOVED the doors and windows along with the tile detailing and furnishings.  A great concept and very well done.  There are 3 eateries in the space and then there is communal seating inside and out.   








It is a little hard to tell from the photos but the front of the building is curved which I love loved.


Need to make some of these for outside at our house!

Mind trip...




You know you are working too much when you get to view all of your really old photos on screen saver video slide shows.  I was reminded of my trip to Portugal almost 6 years ago - is that even possible that it has been that long?!  Wow!  

I hope you have a wonderful weekend planned!  Working on getting caught up here and taking a little family time.

Design Travler: {San Juan Puerto Rico}


















Mostly because I am pretty sure that this has been one of the longest weeks of my life and because I know that there is just more to come, I am dreaming of our relaxing days on vacation.  I fell for Old San Juan in Puerto Rico when we visited.  The buildings were colorful and the sea was beautiful there.  We visited the Fort and walked through the old town for a few hours in the steaming heat!  I do recommend an afternoon there if you are planning a visit.

I will finish up this "series" of posts on Puerto Rico in the next few weeks with a post about the Island of Vieques and a little more detail on the fabulous design of the hotel we stayed at.  (Sorry that most of the pictures are instagram, even though I love it, I left without the battery for my good camera so I had to improvise.)

Wishing you a weekend filled with long beach days and warm evenings!

Design Traveler: W Hotel Vieques



















As you know a few weeks back we had a chance to visit Puerto Rico, it was amazing.  Amazing in a few different ways, it was the first tropical vacation that my husband and I have been on just the two of us since the kids were born (10 + years).  So relaxing!  The main island of San Juan was beautiful in it's own way, which I will show you in a later post, but the small island of Vieques was gorgeous.  We decided late in the game to head over to the smaller island and spent less than 24 hours there which is surprising considering the number of photos I managed to take.  I made a quick reservation at the W Spa and Resort on the island.  It was perfect!  

I am a fan of the W Hotels and have stayed in a few but this was really one of their best in my opinion, very much the Anthropologie of hotels.  The room was fun and well done, the bed as always super comfortable, but all in all it was the property and the view that impressed me the most.  They have snorkeling and kayaking right off the beach, 2 pools, a great bar and restaurant and they make the best peach smoothie I have ever tasted.  I am trying to figure out how we can go back and spend a little more time there!  The design in the lobby and reception was really cool, I am pretty sure that they thought I was crazy when I came in with my camera to take more photos of the space, which I will share with you too.

Also, a big THANK YOU to all of you who recommended this beautiful Island to me, I never would have gotten over there without your help!
