Hotel Monaco and Grand Canal, Venice

I love mixing old and new. I think Hotel Monaco and Grand Canal in Venice is a wonderful example of how much drama can be added to a space by mixing it up a bit.

Mr. Sabbe and I went to Venice in what seems like a million years ago. (2004) Although we didn't stay in any fancy hotels. We were backpackers. And you will see by my extra wild, curly hair, luxuries such as blow dryers and flat irons were not a part of our trip. most. fun. summer. ever

Thank God for flat irons.
