A Weekend Away…

This past weekend I was in New Paltz, NY for a weekend get-away with Mark’s family. It was such an amazing mini-vacation.  Feather pillows, fires, yummy food, hikes through the woods, and my favorite second family :)

Here are a few pictures from the first part of the weekend…

On Friday night we ate at a  pub called The Gilded Otter. It was SO SO loud inside, so we sat out on the heated porch. And of course the boys made us laugh the entire time and never stopped quoting Dumb and Dumber. After dinner we went to the house, sat in front of the fire until it died, and then fell asleep on feather pillow tops mattresses which huge duvets.
It was heavenly.

The next morning we sat in front of the fire reading and drinking coffee. The house was decorated SO beautifully. I drooled the whole weekend. Mark’s bedroom was my favorite. It’s messy in the picture, but the sage green/grey walls with the dark four-post bed and crisp white Pottery Barn linens was to-die-for. The bathroom was also divine. That bathtub… Like I said. I drooled.
And Mark was such a happy camper through all the pictures haha ;)

The best thing about this house was how calm and relaxing it was. The color scheme was cool and very neutral. The beds were amazing. The couch was comfortable. There was plenty of firewood to keep the fire lit whenever we were in the house. Everything just worked together so perfectly – and nothing seemed rushed. I decided after this weekend that having a mountain house is now on my life bucket list.

Having a house like this to go to every weekend to rejuvenate would be amazing.

More pictures to come this week!!
