I've been obsessing about it and researching for a while now, and one of my favorite discoveries has been <a href="http://www.themaidstone.com/">c/o The Maidstone</a>, a chic boutique hotel in East Hampton. Unfortunately staying there is out of my blogger's budget, but luckily for us, drooling over their images is free! The Maidstone was purchased a couple years ago by Swedish hotelier Jenny Ljungberg. She infused the hotel with a free-spirited Scandinavian vibe, inspired by the wonderful fabrics of <a href="http://www.justscandinavian.com/catalogsearch/result/index/?q=josef+frank&limit=all">Josef Frank</a>. For more on the design as well as more droolworthy photos, visit <a href="http://www.thekitchendesigner.org/journal/2009/10/7/co-the-maidstone-east-hampton-scandinavian-design.html">The Kitchen Designer</a>. And be sure to check out their <a href="http://www.themaidstone.com/">official site</a> for more information or reserve a room (lucky duck)!<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.themaidstone.com/"><br /></a></div>

I always think these posts are going to take me 20 minutes to compile, but then HOURS go by! You guys sure know how to rock your turquoise! So many inspiring rooms, thank you so much for sending them to me. I get such a blast out of seeing them. I know I've said it before, but it's seriously my favorite part of doing this blog. I get so many fantastic ideas from your eye-candy! And who doesn't love a little peek into other peoples' homes??<br /><br />Have a great weekend everyone! I know I will! :D
