Source of Inspiration: The Eugenia; Bangkok, Thailand

Sometimes I encounter places, events, moments, or items that are difficult to describe with words and can’t help but feel inspired by them. One such place was a small hotel hidden in the chaos that is Bangkok. The name: The Eugenia, a beautifully restored home, turned boutique hotel with only 12 suites, outstanding service, and attention to detail.

The inspiration for me came from the many old treasures the hotel proudly displayed, giving a sense of comfort, personality, and uniqueness to the space.
Items from the past, particularly heirlooms, offer a certain feel that is sometimes difficult to achieve with newly purchased items. The good news is that we all have heirlooms in some shape or form… jewelry, frames, recipes, traditions, photographs, etc.
Next time you are planning a special event, try incorporating some of those treasures you or your family members have kept close to your hearts. You’ll be sure to have a personalized and unique event that all will notice and appreciate.


P.S. The Eugenia isn't too shabby a spot for couples looking for romance while visiting Bangkok. ;) Enjoy!
