HOTEL TOUR - WASHINGTON SCHOOL HOUSE, PARK CITY

If you live in Utah and you have picked up a design magazine in the last year you will have seen photos of the Washington School House Hotel in Park City, but the other day I picked up my Traditional Home Magazine and saw a feature on the hotel in there and I remembered how much I love this hotel. For my next birthday or anniversary I am going to put a weekend stay at this hotel on my list, for sure!

The design of this hotel is almost EXACTLY how I would want to design a hotel if ever I had the chance. It is a wintery dreamland filled with antique furniture and velvet sofas.

The hotel was designed by Paul and Shannon Wehsener of Paul Allen Design based out of California. Here are some photos from the hotel's website. Check out their photo gallery for more (I know I can't get enough!)

Amazing, right?! Hope you enjoyed these photos of this hotel as much as I did! Happy Monday!

WAINSCOTING - A LOOKBOOK

If you have seen pictures of my home you know that almost the entire main floor is covered in wainscot so it's safe to say I love wainscoting. My love affair with wood work on walls started with my grandparent's home in D.C. and continued into my teenage years when I was enthralled with Parisian interiors and now I just accept wainscoting as a way of life. It's always going to be a part of my interior design 'bag of tricks'.

So with that said, I thought I would post my favorite pictures of wainscoting to inspire you.

Let's start with my favorite :)

And here are my other favorites...
These are more traditional/European
 

These are board + batten or more modern/updated wainscoting...

Do you have a favorite style? Are you more traditional or modern?
