The cataloging of my favorite interiors continues with the Ace Hotel. There are locations in Seattle, Portland, New York, and Palm Springs. Aren’t these photos just the perfect mix of modern, industrial and vintage?
I would love to figure out how to achieve this balance. In my opinion, modern furniture can quickly become lifeless on its own. It can feel a little cold. But too many vintage, worn-down items can make a space feel like a thrift store or something. Maybe the key is simplicity. The Ace Hotels seem to be very utilitarian.
Ryan and I really want to drive down to Portland soon (did you know it’s only a five hour drive from Vancouver?). I know what hotel I want to check into!

About
Britt McMaster is addicted to cucumbers. She and her husband, Ryan, live and work in a tiny apartment in downtown Vancouver, BC. Both Ryan and Britt love to write lists of all their ideas on action sheets, and they have pages and pages. They write especially quickly after they've each had a dry cappuccino or two. Most of those fanciful ideas will stay on paper, but Cucumbersome is Britt's platform to try some out.
