Driven By bDécor/b: Tour of Coastal Living#39;s Ultimate bBeach House/b b.../b

On the other side of the room is a custom painted ping pong table, under which are stored small ottomans (Lee Industries' Bongo Ottomans) edged with nailheads - perfect for seating people who want to keep an eye on the match! I am in awe of this ping pong table - Urban Grace Interiors took something that is usually an eyesore and made it one of the decorative highlights of the room! Our tour ends here - what are your thoughts about the house?! Which room is your favorite? The Ultimate Beach House remains open through October 7th - if you find yourself anywhere near Rosemary Beach, it's definitely worth a trip to see it in person. Believe it or not, I took about twice as many pictures as I shared on the blog because there are so many small decorative touches to admire!  To see the dates and times that the home is available to tour, go to Coastal Living's website

NewNowNext 9: The Mayan Riviera! — Playa Del Carmen to Tulum

01.01.70

Here is NewNowNext 9 of the best from the Mayan Riviera. Just a hop, skip and a jump from the developed sands of Cancun to the more authentic Mexican town of Playa del Carmen and the small stretch of Heaven on Earth known as Tulum.

Encantada Boutique Hotel & Spa is a small, eco-friendly hotel right on the beach in Tulum. Eight luxurious rooms with private bathrooms and king size beds feature soft linens, blue glass walk-in showers, extremely high ceilings, gorgeous hardwood floors and massive sliding doors that open up onto private decks featuring chairs and hammocks. Each room is uniquely decorated with local hand-made artwork and fabrics, lit by soft-glowing candles and cooled by numerous ceiling fans and the fresh ocean breeze. The beach is steps from each room with coupled chaise lounges tucked under grass topped umbrellas. Encantada offers a taste of real luxury in Tulum and the staff is super-friendly and helpful. Carlos, behind the open-air bar, makes the best margaritas in town, not to mention his perfect morning lattes. Breakfast comes with a stay at the hotel and includes fresh fruits, juices and homemade breads with an incredible banana cinnamon spread. Encantada is truly a special place along Boca Paila Road, especially for a couple looking for a romantic getaway.
