Antlers on display..



I love this look, although I am not sure it is safe to do in every home.  I can imagine my kids running by and getting snagged on them often.  It is such a contemporary take on the lake house or hunting lodge don't you think?  
I often wish we had a second home to relax in a simple place where the days of work would disappear and the quite family time would commence.  I am curious how many of you have vacation homes- do you love them?  Do you use them? Are they summer or winter getaways or both?

working towards the dream...



I love all of the intricate details of Paris, I love that she stays there being beautiful just waiting for us to visit once again.  I have missed her this year!  We are planning a trip for Spring and I cannot wait to see how little she has changed!  

I hope you have a dreamy weekend!  
We will be here working hard to be able to visit next Spring!

Twins...


I just love this look and the headboards are pretty much amazing!  I love the idea of a room big enough to hold a pair of twin beds with a single table between.  Our next home will have one of these for visitors, can't you just see sweet little grand children sleeping in a pair.

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!

Beach Bound..


I am gearing up for an upcoming trip to Puerto Rico with the Hubby and wanted to see if you my lovely readers have any suggestions for the area.  I have never been and it is kind of impromptu so any suggestions are welcome!  It looks gorgeous from photos!
