You guys, I am about to have another 21st birthday! As you read this, I am headed to Los Angeles to celebrate, and you bet it’s gonna be filled with tons of iced coffee, excellent meals, and a stay at one of my favorite interior designer hotels – the Proper Hotel in DTLA, designed by Kelly Wrearstler. I am so excited, and I have always wanted to stay here. The design is beyond, and the rooftop bar is supposed to be epic. Y’all know I love my San Francisco Rooftop bar and restaurants. Keep an eye on stories for updates all week, and thanks for being here!
I also plan to visit many fantastic home decor and design spots. Courtesy of the best stylist ever, Brady Tolbert. Check out his work! He knows all the best spots in LA and shared his curated list with me. You don’t want to miss this.
Not enough? We’re hitting up the Getty Museum, too. Can you believe I have lived in CA my whole life and never been? Locals know this is a must-see. Better late than never, I always say.
Also, while I thought we were through the rain on the water remediation, we had to go another round. I am beside myself. But I do want to share the news. So, while I am aching for the fun part, we have to pause and address this adequately. I have my fingers crossed, but I am worried or half anticipating this might balloon into a much larger project than anticipated. Has anyone else been through this? Send hugs, stat. Meanwhile, I am going to keep sourcing and remembering the vision.
Random note. Has anyone else been having a pancake craving lately?! There’s nothing like a rainy Sunday morning staying at home with some pancakes and an iced coffee to keep you company. I made these copycat McDonald’s pancakes and the recipe is getting a ton of buzz online so I wanted to make sure y’all saw it. I promise you they do not disappoint. Plus they’re beyond easy to make, are super fluffy, and they’re the perfect breakfast recipe to keep your whole household happy. You can even freeze them for later. Maybe even dinner? I won’t judge!
Now, onto the design. I found this traditional dining room design that is just stunning and I had to create a mood board for you all. It has a a captivating fusion of modern and traditional elements that creates an atmosphere that is both moody and inviting. Also, I’m obsessed with the wood fireplace – can’t you just imagine the mantel decor pieces that could work there?
