Hi, I'm Maia.

(Pronounced Maya)

I'm a visually obsessed, native New Yorker, who's always searching for the coolest in design, food & travel. 

Over the last 5 years, I left a well established career in healthcare to pursue my passion for design and writing.  This website is my little piece of inspiration, thoughts & adventures as I seek out the most creative spaces  & experiences around the world.

I hope you find this inspiring & share with me what inspires you as well! I'd love to hear from you. Thank you for visiting!

xx,

Maia

Barcelona's Casa Horta Is the Most Dreamy Thing I've Ever Seen

Barcelona's Casa Horta Is the Most Dreamy Thing I've Ever Seen

When I first came across Casa Horta I thought I was daydreaming. It's rare to find something so magical, done so well. 

This 3-story home from the 1920s, was built in the Guinardo's neighborhood of Barcelona and refurbished by designer, Guillermo Santoma.  Santoma designed the home with a whimsical vision of vibrant, modern colors while using traditional moldings and tile.  Most notable in Casa Horta is a "fake skylight", complete with painted blue skies and clouds. The design can't help but entice all of your senses, and does a fantastic job at creating a both eccentric yet elegant modern space. 


for more of the cool stuff.
