Hipster Hotel

Are you a hipster?  Travelling to the city of Portland?? Wondering if you will find a nightstand cool enough to set your big Ray-Ban Wayfarer's on?  Search no more, I have found the hotel for you!  The Ace Hotel, Portland









All kidding about hipsters aside, the hotel is beautiful.  Arena dubbed it a "cool, comfortable but unpretentious place to stay", and I think they got it right.  I love that all the guest rooms are a little different - but all with a bohemian lived-in vibe.  If I am ever in Portland, I will be sure to stay there!

Daily Design Inspiration





Isn't this room from Elle Decor so fun?  I love that it looks like everything was pieced together over time, not bought in one trip off the sales floor.  Love the scale of those dog statues - adds a bit of whimsy to the room.  This look would be so easy to get on your own, almost everything looks like you could find it on craigslist or etsy.

Knit Obsession

How cool are these stools from Claire Anne O'Brien?!  LOVE that yellow chunky knit stool.



What a great play on scale and texture!  These would make for a great statement piece in any room.

Emily McCall's Place

I can't resist reposting Emily McCall's great space that was on the Etsy blog the other day.  Enjoy!







That Barcelona chair with the distressed leather makes me swoon!  The original post can be found here - they also show you how to shop etsy to get the look.

Block Shelf

What's in a name?  Everything when it perfectly describes your product.  I just couldn't resist posting this fantastic shelf from Green Furniture Sweden.




Great in a kids room, love it as a room devider as shown above, and I cannot get over those great rope ties at the top!  I am also really into that leaf lamp they have paired with it which is also available on their website.

I love the use of antique letterpress letters as wall art!  I feel a little DIY coming on...
