So I’m still not feeling like I’m back in the swing of things yet. (Confession: I took a 4 hour nap today. Oops. One of the perks of working from home I guess!) So I have a few things I wanted to blog about from our trip. I’m going to break them up in to smaller posts over the next few days so it doesn’t make one giant monster blog post.
First up: our accommodations. When in Miami we like to stay in the Art Deco District. We usually switch up boutique hotels and try different ones out. This time we stayed at the Chesterfield Hotel. Since it was our anniversary, we splurged and stayed in the penthouse suite. The room was really dark and without a tripod my pictures came out kinda blurry. The pictures below are from the South Beach Group’s album. Things have changed since these pics were taken, so even though my photos are crap, I’ll share a few of them.
I thought this was a creative idea. They used different vintage ceiling tiles on the ceiling. I’m sure they were cleaned up a little bit, but otherwise they were left in their original shape which made for some interesting eye candy.
And here’s the blurry shot I took:
As you can tell things have changed up a bit. The couches were re-upholstered in a silver leather. Two new couches were added along with a few new lamps, a new tv, and lots of cushions. You may recognize the ones on the couch from Ikea. You may also spot a lot of West Elm in the decor. I love the ceiling lights. I’ve seen them (or similar ones) around before, but I couldn’t find them again to link to. If anyone recognizes them, let me know. They are absolutely gorgeous in person.
