I love design. I love art. I love art galleries. I love graphic design. I love typography. I love a well-built house. I love a quirky centerpiece. I love square plates. Some objects, some finishes, some brochures, some magazines, some homes make me want to have them right now. One of my absolute favourite things to do is to walk through new model homes in new subdivisions or apartment buildings. LOVE. I’m super pumped to have my own place someday. Until then, I’ll just dream.

On our family road trip in September (posts you can find here and here) we stayed in the Four Points by Sheraton Levis Convention Centre in Quebec. I’ve seen some pretty Sheratons and some not so pretty Sheratons, so I wasn’t sure what it would be like. Umm, let’s just say my favourite hotel of the whole trip!? So modern, chic, sexy. Yup. The hotel was sexy.

For breakfast one morning we walked into the Le Cosmos Cafe located in the hotel. My mouth pretty much dropped to the floor. Okay, let me get girlie for a few sentences here: this is my dream wedding venue. DREAM. Look at that wood paneling. That stone feature wall. Those purple chandeliers. The bubblelight fixtures that change COLOUR every few minutes along with the hanging tree curtain thing at the back. The big print of Marilyn Monroe? The purple chairs and the purple booths? AH. I just thought this place was so stinkin’ beautiful that you readers needed to see.

I felt inspired. And the French language that was flowing around me here certainly was inspiring too.
