my life

in pictures
or should i say...

THERATHBONE

original... i know. but it means

RATH: FORT or CASTLE
BONE: WHITE

  which is very fitting for my 
boutique hotel featuring
an all-organic, modern, scandinavian design concept

i hope you enjoy....

THE RATHBONE IS LOCATED IN THE HEART OF WEST HOLLYWOOD, CONVENIENTLY CLOSE TO THE SUNSET STRIP. IT HAS BEEN NEWLY REJUVENATED INTO A LUXURY BOUTIQUE HOTEL, WITH INSPIRATION EVOKED FROM BOTH THE ORGANIC LINES OF MODERN SCANDINAVIAN DESIGN AND THE SERENE NATURAL ELEMENTS CHARACTERISTIC OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. THE RATHBONE IS DESIGNED FOR GUESTS WITH A MINIMUM STAY OF 30 DAYS.  OUR GUESTS ARE AFFORDED A LUXURIOUS EXPERIENCE, WITH JUST ENOUGH COMFORT TO CALL IT HOME.  THE NEUTRAL COLOR PALETTE OF THE RATHBONE CREATES A SERENE AND RELAXING ENVIRONMENT, WHILE THE MIXTURE OF ORGANIC TEXTURES AND MODERN DESIGN GIVES A SENSE OF OPULENCE TO OUR GUESTS’ HOME AWAY FROM HOME.  THE OVERALL DESIGN OF THE RATHBONE EMBRACES THE VERY ESSENCE OF A 
MODERN AESTHETIC THROUGH ORGANIC ELEMENTS.

thankful


my husband, his family: his grandparents, our new nephew, my parents in law, sister and brothers in law, my family: my amazing parents, sisters, brother, brothers in law, 3 beautiful nieces, 2 handsome nephews, my wonderful friends, beautiful weather, Christmas lights, hot tea, apple pie, frozen peas (grown in granny and papa's garden- the best), singing Christmas carols, carriage rides, hot chocolate, funnel cakes, falling asleep in the car, and snuggling with baby Cruz.
my thanksgiving was perfect.
