The Magic of Figueroa

As I mentioned in my previous post, the days are far too grey for my liking!! I need some color to liven things up a bit. Join me, as I visit the colorful and mesmerising Figueroa Hotel! Surprisingly this Moroccan themed hotel is far away from Morocco. It is actually closer to me and is in Los Angeles :-)  Here's some more interesting information about this property......the Figueroa was built in 1925 as a tourist class hotel and was a YWCA residence at one point!

Red and Pink!

Okay, I am officially fed up! There I have gone ahead and said it to all of you :-) January in the Pacific Northwest is dull, grey and extremely boring! I guess more so when you are just back from vacation.

The greyness outside is literally getting on my nerves today. I would love to step outside, minus the rain of course and enjoy a cup of tea in my backyard. Now, if my backyard looked like this........I would be a happy happy gal!

I am in the mood for color.....the bold red and the dramatic pink seems so appealing today.  Sigh!!
