Back from our Palm Springs Vacation

We just got back from a great trip to the Palm Springs area.  We have a dear friend who just moved there and we were so excited to see her new house!  She is an amazing decorator and even though she's only been in the new house a short time, it's already beautiful!

A very fun part of her new house is the guest casita.  Our daughter stayed in the guest room in the main house and my husband and I got the casita.  Talk about a nice vacation!  Besides being beautiful, it was so private and so well equipped.  We had a brand new luxurious bed, our own kitchen area and bathroom.  




Right outside our casita was this beautiful birdcage.  




There were several seating areas, an outdoor kitchen, fire pit area and  chaise lounges near the pool.




They just had a gorgeous salt water pool, spa and waterfall installed.  We spent countless hours just floating around in there.  We would shop in the mornings, go to lunch, come home and lay on floaties in the pool, then either have a bbq there or go to Happy Hour for dinner and drinks, then back to the pool before bed each night.  It was the perfect vacation!








This is a den right when you walk in the house.  It is so pretty.


 She has an incredible collection of antique apothecary jars. I love the shells in them.



This is the family room.  Everything in her house is so pretty, yet so cozy and comfortable.




I love her style!




I will do another post on some of the things we bought during our shopping expeditions as well as some of the treasures she gave me that she wasn't using in this house.  

Thanks so much for visiting!
