i find the contrast between the intricate tracery work and the modern wood siding very interesting

hope you enjoyed!

Glamorous

This Florida Showhouse is fabulous. I love the use of driftwood and jute used throughout the house to convey a beachy feel without being too casual. The vibe is glamorous but laid back at the same time.

Organic Modern

I am currently obsessed with natural wood furniture like this.

its organic and modern at the same time

the use of chunks of wood like this, polished and gnarly, is so in right now BIG time

the juxtaposition of the dark wood with the metal is stunning

Im dying to have a dining table like this in my future home.

Destination: Miami

I want to go here sooo bad.

The fabulous Viceroy Hotel in Miami,
beautifully designed by Kelly Wearstler is a must see.

Take a look:

how awesome is that yellow chandelier??

a close up of the japanese-inspired custom curtains

love the cool color palette

nice view

pops of bright colors mixed with the emphasis on clean lines and geometrics makes the space more loose and funky

the lattice work separates the bedroom from the living area--another japanese influence

overall, the bright colors and funky furnishings of the Viceroy make it one of the hottest hotels in Miami. Wearstler brilliantly mixes classic design with modern and Asian inspiration with Western flair.  

I will definitely be planning a visit ASAP!
