Oh Napalicious.

We're off to Napa this weekend!


I love Napa for several reasons.

  • Three Thomas Keller restaurants.
  • Wine, pool, no children.
  • The opposite of Vegas.
  • Hotel Yountville
We stayed in Hotel Yountville last time we came, and it was paradise, and a haven of neutrals, which I could not get enough of.  Also it had fireplaces in the room.  And canopy beds.  And made me briefly consider living in California.


I love the subtle natural influence of nature in this room, the seagrass rug, the stump coffee table, the stone fireplace.  This is the kind of nature I like, the indoor kind.


I'm universally against bathtubs in bedrooms, it reminds me of motels, in New Jersey.  Shudder.  Still, when they're antique claw-foot tubs with English hardware, I can make exceptions.


This reminds me that (1) we were spot on with our grey tuxedo sofa in the living room and (2) that I'm not spending enough on statement lamps.


I love the accessories in this room, we need things like this, silver everywhere.


 We need an orchid.  Also a giant silver bowl full of white towels.


I'm not a big exteriors girl because I'm a city-dweller and I've given up pining for great exteriors.  Still, wow.


These double loungers were perfect.  They say 'children go away' to me.


Mmm, space.

The whole place was neutral, dark, masculine.  Just my pace.

See you next week!
