Designer Spotlight: Kara Mann

Lately I have been inspired by designer, Kara Mann. She is a Chicago based designer and produces fabulous work in the windy city. After familiarizing myself with her work, I realized she was the designer behind some of my favorite spaces and I had no idea, take a look!


















The butterfly sculpture by Paul Villinski is breathtaking, this truly is beautiful work. The silver-gold tones of the mirrors and shagreen-like bedside tables add a little shimmer. The shimmer along with the taupe color of the bed makes this room feel ethereal and glamorous. 





















Keep up the great work Kara!

Napa's Own Hot Hotel: Hotel Yountville

Fall is in the air a bit here in Texas we have dropped about 20 degrees which is great! It finally feels like fall will soon be approaching us. I stumped upon this gem of a hotel and felt that I needed to share it because it's a getaway worth dreaming about, Hotel Yountville in Napa Valley. Even as a California native a retreat like this seems remarkable and I can't wait to go someday. I am adding it to my bucket list!





























I love this headboard.
