Rustic Log Cabin Inspiraiton from Dunton Hot Springs Colorado

I absolutely love hot springs and what could be better than sitting in a 

hot spring in a natural setting among mountains and birch trees.

 

in a fully restored ghost town... How awesome is this cabin

complete with a hot spring inside!

If only it didn't cost an arm and a leg... But one can dream.

The interiors to the cabins and buildings offer fantastic rustic inspiration.  

Makes me seriously want to build a little log cabin that I can escape to

myself.  I love this modern interpretation of a log cabin - complete

with all the modern comforts.  The room is spacious and manages to 

be cozy at the same time.

Dunton Hot Springs is an old Western ghost town that has been restored

absolutely gorgeously near Telluride, Colorado.  It has several cabins

offered to guests as well as having bonafide hot springs to soak in.  

Among the cabins is the two story houses that can be rented out by

groups and family.

 

This cabin has its own outdoor hot spring to soak in.

 

If you have kids, the Indian teepee is very cool.  

 

This is the bath house.  A farmhouse with a lot of glass windows.

It's absolutely fantastic.

Care for a calming and relaxing soak with a beautiful view?

 

Fall in many places often offers some of the most gorgeous views around.

 

Especially with autumn with birch trees...

Here's a cute cabin with a rocker outside.

Dunton Hot Springs like a white winter wonderland.

This is a picture that just belongs in a frame on the wall.

 

Can I build one of these in my backyard?

The deck really gives this cabin character and a place to relax outside.

 

I wonder if it's warm enough to stay in the teepee overnight.

More rustic decor inspiration.

Super cozy log cabin room.

Rustic = Stone, Wood and Leather

Don't forget the native American designs and patterns.

 

I really love the ambience of this room.

book above for some great inspirations from personal 

log homes and hotels.  I just received it today and it has

some really gorgeous log homes and spaces in it.

Fun and Budget Friendly Design Hotel in San Francisco

 

When I saw this hotel, I just knew I had to share it.  It's a very unique 

design and art hotel in the heart of San Francisco (in the French quarter

between Union Square, the financial district and Chinatown.)  Each room

is painted by a different artist with a different theme.  The painted rooms 

are paired with very clean lined furnishings.  It is very reasonably priced 

with the rooms ranging between $69 - $130.  

If you're looking for something fun and budget friendly, Hotel Des Arts

should definitely be considered.  In this post, I'm showcasing some of 

the many different rooms in the Hotel Des Arts.

 

 

Here's the outside of the hotel.

 

A mural even on the exterior of the hotel - you can't really miss it.

 

 An asian anime inspired room.

 

 

A totally fun bathroom!

If you're looking for a feel like home with lots of 

pictures and frames, this room is a good choice.

I rather think this room is a bit more soothing the cool

blue color and large scaled design on the wall.

 

 This room reminds me of what a tattoo artist my draw.

 

 This room is on steroids!

Material Girl ^_^

 

  This is a fun room with a vintage Chinese Mao theme.

 

Now that is one very cool bathroom.

 

 Perhaps not the most appropriate for young children given the language...

 

This is a fun colorful room.

 

 

 This room definitely offers street cred... Not sure I 

could sleep in a room like this because it's so busy - 

but it's surely unique.

 

 Now this is a fun room for girls.

 

I find the green soothing.  A very 

neat graphic of a Japanese warrior.

So what do you think?  Isn't it an interesting 

hotel?  Any particular room that you fancy?

Hotel Keppler - A Posh Boutique Hotel in Romantic Paris

As many of you know, I love showcasing boutique and chicly designed hotels.
Hotel Keppler in Paris is a wonderful gem of a place off of Champs Elysees.

It's recommended by Mr & Mrs Smith of London fame (hotel booking service
specializing in boutique and unique properties.)  Isn't the lobby sumptiously
and comfortably decorated?  I could just sink right into that couch.

The hotel was designed by French interior designer Pierre Yves Rochon.

Love the black and white diamond marble floor in the hallways.

A gorgeous office area with a fantastic oversized black and white framed mirror.

Close attention was paid to all of the flooring whether it be marble floors
or gorgeous rugs.  Love the white chairs with dark nail head trim.

The rooms are tastefully decorated.

With beautiful crown molding and fabrics.

A standard room in brilliant yellow and black on a neutral cream palette.

Or perhaps a 2 bedroom suite in crimson red.

You've got to love the bold use of color.

Mr & Mrs Smith Hotel Collection: France

If you love boutique and unique hotels, you should definitely
check out the Mr & Mrs Smith Hotel Collection series. Let
me know what you think of this hotel - would you venture a
 stay?  I really loved how the public areas of the lobby, living
area and hallways are designed (even more so than the rooms
themselves.)
