we’ve always wanted to travel to portugal. so much of the country seems to intrigue us. coincidentally, we just happened to have stumbled upon another reason to book our flights to what some call the gentle land. areias do seixo is a boutique hotel made up of 14 rooms on portugal’s costa de prata. just an hour away from lisbon lies this eco-conscious hotel with an eclectic vibe all its own. we are totally into the mix of rustic and contemporary decorative accents that make up the hotel decor and we love the fact that the hotel’s designers took inspiration from morocco and india (two other countries on our must visit list) when dreaming up the hotel.
there seems to be something truly special about this place, it’s got personality but it isn’t pretentious and the fact that the vegetables and herbs served at the hotel come from the hotel’s very own organic garden definitely is an added bonus. and have you seen the hotel bathrooms? swoon-worthy to say the least! let’s just say we’re brushing up on our portuguese…

every project i embark on with a client is equally unique and exciting. this particular project was a blast to work on. our client did not want to shy away from fun, bold colors which is always ideal for me! we set out to create an inviting and masculine ambiance, utilizing unique and vintage finds to add that extra layer of interest. another plus with this project was that this client wasn’t necessarily pinned down to one era or style of design, which allowed us the freedom to create a space that incorporated a mix of pieces, resulting in a uniquely fresh environment filled with pops of color.

hello again everyone! to continue our celebration of the 1 year anniversary of vintage remix, we have another favorite project to highlight:
this project was so much fun to work on! a combination of bohemian and feminine accents gave this hollywood hills home such unique character. i loved mixing patterns and colors from the wallpaper to the pillows, and a fresh palette of black and whites with pops of color let the lush outdoor garden spaces shine. the mix of unique elements and flea market treasures resulted in a charming hideaway nestled into the hollywood hills.
remember, you can enter now through the 30th of the month to be eligible to win a signed copy of my book, vintage remix! details here!

and now for the first round of our fave photos…this particular project is near and dear to my heart. we transformed this spanish colonial home for a good friend of mine using a mix of global glam pieces and some eclectic influences (with the addition of a few southern kitsch elements). the result was a warm and vibrant mix with pops of color such as kelly green on the walls. the house was transformed into a chic abode fit for this hip angeleno and it was such a pleasure to put it all together.

although we can’t say that we’ve been blessed with green thumbs, we can safely say that we love a good garden wall. we know these have popped up everywhere lately and we couldn’t be happier about it. we find the color and texture these walls add to a space to be truly impactful. to us, a room without a little bit of plant or floral action can feel cold, so we happily welcome the addition of these green walls to an indoor or outdoor space! another fun fact is that these eco-design wonders actually add more oxygen to your home which is not a bad benefit. we gathered a few great inspiration photos below to motivate you to get started on your very own garden wall! happy planting!

the ocean, the culture, the food, there really is a lot to love about greece! now you can add another reason: the hotel san giorgio. is it just us or do you too start to feel calmer as you stare at the photos of this boutique hotel situated on the island of mykonos? what is not to love here? the hotel has this rustic chic and minimalist vibe that we are really digging currently and the mediterranean ocean views from the hotel rooms sure don’t hurt. we can’t get enough of this simple and unpretentious hotel. to find out more about the hotel san giorgio visit the hotel’s website and facebook page.
we have always been fans of wallpaper. we love the unique way it can alter a room depending on the pattern, color, or texture it has. currently, we are just fascinated by the interesting array of marble style wallpaper designs put out by the brooklyn based atelier, calico wallpaper. the duo behind the designs, rachel mosler and nick cope (eco paint extraordinaire of green painting) truly are artists in their own right, influenced by nature, space, and versailles just to name a few of their inspirations for their wallpaper designs. currently, they have created three distinct collections aptly titled versailles, lunaris, and wabi. we are eagerly anticipating the incorporation of these marbled masterpieces into our future projects! here are a few great shots of these awe inspiring creations:
