interiors // hotel la malcontenta

you guys are such awesome enablers! thanks to all of you who shared your two cents on yesterday's conundrum. sounds like several of you have a similar setup. which means i'm not crazy, and that i will probably be moving forward with operation sitting room. yippee! more furniture to buy!

in completely unrelated news, last night as i was getting lost in the land of pinterest, i came across the work of designer lazaro rosa-violan. after a bit of digging, i realized that i'd featured his work on BIA before (in one of my very first posts, no less!), but a new-to-me project immediately caught my eye.

hotel la malcontenta is a historic spanish country home gone boutique hotel.

what i love so much about this cozy place is that the historic character was so well maintained when it underwent conversion. it truly looks like a gorgeous home. and one that i would happily love to visit for a long weekend, i might add.

there's just something about a quaint hotel, no? not quite as intimate as a bed and breakfast, not so large that you're just a face in the lobby. feels like the perfect place for a warm retreat. who's in?

interiors || oh, Kelly

no, fridays are not all about bars and drinks, contrary to how many times in a row i might post them. however, this friday will include bars. well, kelly wearstler bars. which, let's be honest, you would appreciate just for the aesthetics. have some champagne or have some soda water. either way, you'll be happy to be there.

and if you hate her style, humor me. i can't believe you read this blog anyway if that's the case, because that probably means you hate my style, too.

and clearly you don't, because you're here, aren't you?

behold:

i threw in some non-bars, but i didn't like doing it.

either the woman likes to do yellow, or i just like the woman when she does yellow.

happy champagne (or soda water) friday!

interiors || lamp licking

did anyone check out the latest issue of highgloss yet? i sped through it after addressing some wedding invitations last night (a girl needs me time after all), but will have to go back when i have more time. as a sucker for a great boutique hotel, i did love their round-up, and decided that west hollywood's chamberlain hotel needed a post of its own . . .

a crazy cool place to stay a few nights, no? i want to lick every single lamp in that place! i'm pretty obsessed with the straight 70s/80s-ness of it . . . a modern interpretation if you will. any guesses on who the designer was? leslie barrett (who needs to be updating her website stat so i can stalk it.)

and don't forget about the i am print giveaway! your odds are pretty stellar right now . . . ends friday.
