While searching for a little inspiration I came across some older travel photos.  I have shared some of this trip previously but I don't think these particular photos have made it on the blog.  When I travel I have a tendency to spend A LOT of my time taking photos.  This trip was great because I was with a friend who was just as interested in photographing EVERYTHING and I was driving so I could stop anytime I pleased for a photo opp!

I love these old buildings and structures as I am sure that many others do to considering we are consistently taking clues from them when we plan our own homes and gardens.

My favorite part is that even the weeds look good just because they are here! We are working on selecting stone for our patio and I keep consulting photos of these beautiful spaces to inspire me, I just have to figure out how to make it look beautifully aged.

One little peek at this Hotel and I was hooked.  The design has a clean European feeling, with great texture and a sense of history, just stunning.  The Washington School House Hotel is located in Utah but it feels like a complete world away.  

It could be all of the soft greige and white details that are really getting me.  Each room is unique and the beds are fabulous looking!  Can you imagine staying for a ski weekend or the fabulous Sundance Film Festival?  Yes please!

 

I have a little problem when it comes to this indigo fabric.. well I just cannot resist the beautiful details of each piece and how different they are.  (Please excuse the weird angle of the photo below).   I love these pieces with their intricate patterns and the soft hand of the fabric. The fabric pieces were made in China with a wax resist technique and each is unique, most of these pieces began as clothing and bedding and are now being re-purposed in all different ways.

While we were in LA for this quick little visit it was a beautiful day and the neighborhood was so pretty, so I snapped a few pictures.  I love how each house is so unique and full of character, this one was so cute!

 

There is no need to trade places and I am sure it is no mystery what I would like to do if I could do anything.  Live in Paris, own a beautiful apartment in Paris while I am still young enough to really enjoy it!  I love the idea of a slightly worn exterior with a beautiful interior awaiting a special touch.

 

Beautiful vintage wood floors and molding everywhere!

A sweet little Vespa to run around on...

I would shop all day at the fleas to furnish it with the most fun and beautiful pieces!

I would spend my evenings in beautiful gowns just lounging around and relaxing with friends and family, almost no need to go out!

 

Please take a moment to stop by and see what the other lovely ladies have been dreaming about!

I am pretty sure that everyday this week has seemed like Friday to me and it is finally here!  I love this sweet soft image (even though I like my dolls to have heads) it seems so relaxing.  I have it bad for these vintage tufted chairs.  We are planning our trip to France and I so hope to find one or two for my own home.  

Wishing you a relaxing and wonderful weekend!  Also, don't miss out on our giveaway!
