The Stylish Bungalow Hotel

I recently heard about the opening of the new Bungalow Hotel at the Jersey Shore. This charming 24 room luxury boutique hotel is just steps away from the ocean! (don't you just love this gigantic tulip in front of the guest room?)

This stylish hotel was designed by the talented Robert and Cortney Novogratz of Sixx Design.

They mix vintage and modern for a truly whimsical look.

Great news! Fellow blogger and shop owner, Ruth Harsham of A Beautiful Life, was recently commissioned to make 24 of her "mathematic pillows" for the Bungalow Hotel's guest rooms. How clever is that? Each pillow was done specifically for each of the guest rooms, with the number specific to each room. Of course, the hotel fanatic that I am, I rushed over to Ruth's website to buy one for myself! You can check out Ruth's pillows here on her website.

The Bungalow Hotel's rooms are oversized with king beds, flat screen tvs, ipod docking stations, kitchenettes, cafe tables, expansive window walls, and fireplaces. I'm liking this...

The hotel has 50 works of original art. Love the framed British postage stamp print and those fabulous settees!

Cocktails anyone?

Ahhh, so close to the Jersey Shore...

Brrr.... Summer has Arrived!

Summer arrived in San Francisco today, a bit early, with thick fog and wind. People that haven't been here assume that all of California is sunny with warm beaches. Oh, not here in San Francisco. As Mark Twain was famously quoted, "The coldest winter I ever saw was the summer I spent in San Francisco." Yes, no sandals or sundresses for me!

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend with lots sunshine and fun! I'll be thinking of you all while I sit in front of my heater with my down jacket. Don't worry about me...
