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!

Hotel Brummell in Barcelona, Spain

Hotel Brummell in Barcelona, Spain

I am in the midst of planning a trip to Barcelona, Spain and came across a boutique hotel, with gorgeous interiors, named Hotel Brummell. I am always so inspired by the blending interior design aesthetics and was instantly attracted to the different styles throughout this hotel. Hotel Brummell, built in 1870, was remodeled by architect Inma Rabano and designed by interior design firm Blankslate, who infused the traditional space with a modern, Middle Eastern inspired flair. The end result was an inner-city escape, complete with an art collection featuring local artisans, a private terrace pool, and views of the city, landscape, and sea. 

How cool is that?! 

I cannot wait to spend some time in Barcelona and would love to hear if you have any tips for traveling to Spain? If so, let me know in the comments below!
