Hotel San Jose, Austin

This weekend, I'm visiting my Sister in Austin, which has quickly become one of my favorite cities! Last night we stopped  the Hotel San Jose in Austin's hip SoCo neighborhood (South of Congress) for a night cap....this hotel is was built in 1939 as an "ultramodern motor court" and has become part of the fabric of downtown Austin - "a hotel with soul."

We sat by the pool, nestled in a bamboo garden, and drank the most delicious Sangria! I've never stayed at the San Jose, but I can't wait to on my next visit!

Stay tuned for more to come on Austin, and my trip to San Francisco next week!

Sibella Court

Do you ever crave fantastical interiors that will inspire and transport you to another time, place or world? A fairytale land designed for the modern, real, life? Well let me introduce you to Sibella Court.

I was recently introduced to the Australian Interior Stylist by a friend visiting from Sidney and was was immediately drawn to her intentionally haphazard, bohemian, quirky style. Sibella was a stylist in NY who returned to her native Australia to open her store, The Society Inc, in an 1800's corner shop in Paddington, a suburb of Sidney. Sibella recently designed colors for Murobond Coatings, Australia's leading paint manufacturer, and released a book, Etcetera, available only at Anthropologie stores.

As a world traveler and gypsy soul, Sibella curates her store and interiors with thoughtful precision. The interior of the Society Inc is a "haberdashery meets hardware store specializing in local and global textiles, furniture, homewares, and beautiful things". The contents and interior of the store change four times a year and every last detail is impeccably thought out. "Each new 'theme' will transport the visitor to different societies and each theme will encompass a new color story, using the colours Sibella designed for Murobond Paints." Below is a selection of Sibella's past themes and colour stories for the store.

Enjoy!

Buccan Opens It's Doors!

Buccan: A native South American or Caribbean name for a wooden framework or hurdle on which meat was roasted or smoked over a fire, similar to the original meaning of a barbecue. The term "Buccaneer" for pirates or privateers, is said to be derived from buccan. In the Caribbean, these seafarers would smoke fish, wild pigs and turtles to provision their ships.

Lovely Lavender

I recently started working with a bachelorette who was drawn to the color purple for her living room. This chic bachelorette wants something feminine and classic at the same time, and the rarely used color of purple is the the perfect inspiration for the room! Below are some images I found to get us excited....
