Interior Design & a little SOUL

Over the weekend, I was in Austin for a dinner party and I always get excited to visit the laid back dog friendly city!  After living there for 2 years and visiting my whole life it is a great place for me to get away or mix up it up.

Anyway... I have always wanted to stay at this great boutique hotel in South Austin, The Saint Cecilia.  However, because it is a small hotel and I rarely plan ahead, it is almost always booked.  But this time I got in and we were lucky enough to stay in one of the bungalows which are very private, surrounded by trees and the main house is a historic landmark!  This pet friendly hotel literally has soul built in and interesting quirks around each corner.  The owner Liz Lambert did a fantastic job and it has set the bar high for any other hotel.  Every little detail was thought out and I didn't want to leave... there was even a record player in our room - it was fun! 

Plus, if you are traveling with dogs it is a great place to stay.  Not only did they offer us dog bowls and beds for our pups but there was a little park right across the street!  The hospitality was really wonderful and I won't ever forget it.

Here are some pics for you guys!

 This is the view of the patio below our bungalow.  I love the blue stained saltillo tiles!  Great D.I.Y project for anyone who has saltillo tile in their home. 



Thanks for stopping by!

  3. Thanks for the posts!

    Ann: I have a link to the mugs you like in today's blog post - they are by Iitala.

    Insideology: I agree, the bamboo blinds really warmed up the room! If you are ever in Austin I highly recommend The Saint Cecilia or The San Jose. They are both owned by Liz Lambert and South Congress is the most fun area to stay.
