Strolling Through Dongdaemun in Seoul

Dongdaemun. Have you heard of it? Dongdaemun Gate, also known as Heunginjimun Gate, holds lots of history in South Korea. It translates literally to the “Great Eastern Gate” of the city. The area of Dongdaemun surrounds the gate and was a great place to explore. Follow me there. The gate itself was such a contrast to the modern buildings around it. Time stood still. I was transported back to the Joseon Era of Korea. The gate was originally an entrance…

It included the Oido Prehistoric Remains Park and the sea. The plaque below explained the purpose of the lighthouse. They built…

“Why do you like to visit South Korea so much?” I’ve been asked this question so many times. Among visiting friends, shopping and sightseeing, Korean food is awesome!

The Korean food below is from a restaurant in Incheon. I have developed a love for squid and the squid I…

Interior Design Inspiration: Living Rooms

Comments 0 Comment

If kitchens are the heart of the home, then living rooms are the lungs. (I made that up myself.) They come in second but are still very much needed. And they help turn a house into home. Three things stand out to me when it comes to living room design. First the furniture, then the walls and lastly architectural elements. Living Room Furniture You walk into a living room and it’s stuck in a time warp. 9 times out of…

Was I walking into a hotel or a store? It was almost hard to tell as I walked into the “Lobby.” I had walked into the 3CE Stylenanda Pink Hotel store in Myeongdong Seoul, South Korea. I had seen lots of videos online and wanted to checkout it out for myself. It was such a creative concept for a store. 1F: The Lobby A large information booth greated me upon arrival. It gave me that vintage Los Angeles hotel vibe….

Airbnb. I’d heard so many things about them. Honestly, I was scared. I was worried that something bad would happen. And that there would be no hotel desk to run too. For years I stayed away from Airbnb. I’ve even stayed in hostels, but was afraid of Airbnb. Then my last trip to South Korea came along. Seoul Airbnb Location My first stop was in Seoul. I stayed in the Wolgok/Korea University area. There were a lot of apartments on…

Minimalist Bedroom Interior Design

Comments 0 Comment

Minimalist design is a big trend right now. So many people are decluttering. There are so many books about it. I can’t count how many times I’ve read The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up.

It adds a nice mid-century modern touch. The night…
