Indian Springs

I just returned from my first ever overnight away from Ava. An amazing friend of mine is getting married, so a fantastic group of ladies spent the weekend celebrating the bride-to-be in Napa. 

(Before I left, Alex told me he was actually excited about spending this quality time alone with Ava, and to be the one to take care of her all weekend. Alex is so amazing with Ava and seeing how he interacts with her has made me fall even more in love with him.)

The girls all went wine tasting all day Saturday, made a traditional Irish dinner of corned beef and cabbage last night, then dance-partied it up for hours in the living room of the charming cottage-style house we rented for the weekend.

Then today we detoxed at the most amazing spa, Indian Springs, in Calistoga. I had a facial that was just-right, and we floated around in the natural hot springs mineral pool all day -- it was so relaxing! Just what I needed. 

I missed my little cupcake like crazy though, and couldn't wait to get home to my little fam. But it was the perfect weekend. Sometimes you have to spend time away and miss the people you love to fully appreciate how good you have it.

I wanted to share some of my favorite things about Indian Springs that I plan to use as design inspiration as I tackle the landscaping in my backyard this spring.


Zooming in on the columns... I love these!
  
I may need this fountain. 
I love the burnt orange curtains and umbrellas throughout the resort.
And these metallic tile mosaics might be a fun weekend project.
I've always wanted an outdoor fireplace. I would live on this deck if I could.
I love how you can see the vignette of black and white photos through the mirror in this picture.
The fireplace on this deck area creates such a serene and cozy ambiance.
And I am in love with this buffet table. I have to find something similar for my dining room.
Just look at this mirror... Are you speechless?
The color and pattern of these day bed spreads would make such perfect throw pillows.
