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

This Restored Boathouse in Tuscany is So Good!

This Restored Boathouse in Tuscany is So Good!

With a mix of metals and textures, architect and designer Vincenzo De Cotiis, has turned a beat-up boathouse in the Tuscan town of Forte dei Marmi, into the perfect holiday retreat.

I fell in love with the vintage armchairs covered in a bright yellow fabric, and the marble and brass table in the bathroom, also designed by De Cotiis. The large ceilings and aged walls mirror the impressive vibes of both the marble and concrete furniture pieces, while warmer accents and vintage furniture in pops of color bring in a nod to the building's seaside history. Basically, I'm ready to pass out over how good this is! 

Hope you enjoy!
