Blake Hotel

I came across the Blakes Hotel, in London which is one of Gwyneth Paltrow's favorites. The rooms are super chic and I can only imagine this being my "home away from home" while in London. The Blakes Hotel was designed by Anouska Hempel and is coined the "Design Hotel" with all of their attention to detail and an entire aesthetic experience.

This is from the Corfu suite and is one of my favorites

Another room in the Corfu Suite

Corfu Suite again, complete with the silver tea set.

There is a lot I love about this bathroom; from the black bathtub with white interior, with the built in shower and the 2 color trim against the white walls.

Love the wallpaper, which reminds me of antique writing, which is complemented with the modern look of the orchids and built in tv.

There is a lot black in this room: walls, furniture, lampshades, accessories, but pops of color from the bedding, curtains and prints on the wall.

Beautiful antique swan bed

Black and gold Venetian style room

Red and gold accented room with vintage botanical prints all over the walls!

Gold and white Venetian style room with red accents. I love the basket by the fireplace.

Red and white striped room (walls, linens, pillows, table skirts and even poles in the room), reminds me of a candy cane!

Hacienda Style

Happy Cinco De Mayo! I wanted to feature some amazing Mexican design, and architecture which showcases some amazing styles and color! Karen Witynski Carr and Joe P. Carr of Hacienda Style features everything you need for an amazing Hacienda from Mexican Antiques, old doors, iron lighting and they have published around 8 coffee table inspiration books each of which I picked my favorite picture below from each. Sip on a margarita and enjoy these inspirations!
