We’re not saying farewell to summer just yet. ☀️

Our Summer House peel and stick wallpaper goes up incredibly easy. A soft and sensuous watercolor toile featuring gazebos, pagodas, bridges, meandering streams and lush flora and fauna.

Perhaps the most classic of all SmithHönig patterns adds fresh, modern color - and a slight sense of nostalgia - to any room. Available in two color ways - navy and coral.

This week, we arrive to the Big Sky as the #SmithH

This week, we arrive to the Big Sky as the #SmithHonigRoadTrip makes another stop on our 19,000 mile journey across America.

Although Cabin Creek Landing is a fly-in bed and breakfast inn, with its own small airstrip, Melanie and Mr. H. arrived by car of course. Their meandering road trip had taken on a life of its own, calling them to remote fields, small highways and oddball attractions state after state.

The two-story, lodge style inn set the tone for this portion of their journey – an American safari full of wildlife sightings, rugged terrain, and classic wilderness digs. 🌲

From this near-perfect basecamp, they reveled in Glacier National Park, featuring 700+ miles of trails, pristine Alpine meadows, forests, mountains and lakes, as well as historic lodges and chalets. Glacier also features Red Bus tours in historic 1930s roll-top touring cars, an amazing way to take in everything from the Going-to-the-Sun road to Wild Goose Island. The drivers are called “jammers”, because, when the cars still had manual transmissions, you could hear them jamming their gears going up steep inclines. The buses themselves are sometimes called the “rubies of the Rockies”.

More on this leg of the journey soon. Next stop is a 100-year-old preserve now overseen by the Confederated Salish and Kootenai tribes of Native Americans, and situated within the 1,250,000-acre Flathead Indian Reservation.

Once Melanie and Mr. H. arrived to the Redwood Coa

Once Melanie and Mr. H. arrived to the Redwood Coast, they settled into the beautiful Tudor style @benbowhistoricinn, which opened in 1926 and is listed on the National Register of Historic places. The hotel is currently undergoing extensive renovations, but both before and after, the charm and attention to detail is evident in each room and public space.

The tudor style architecture and unexpected style in the middle of the redwood forest attracted Hollywood Golden-age stars like Clark Gable and Spencer Tracey, as well as dignitaries that included Eleanor Roosevelt and Lord Halifax. For a time it was the only full-service, four diamond hotel in Northern California.

Melanie imagined SmithHönig’s Venice Fade wallpaper in Vivaldi on the walls of their room – the soft colors would be perfect!

After a walk in the woods, and a relaxed and satisfying breakfast at Benbow they headed north on the 101 to Ferndale, a Victorian era village featuring spectacular architecture and plenty of unique shopping that includes stops at @Chapmansbookery @lostcoastliving Spencer’s Vintage @goldengaitmercantile and Sweetness & Light.

Well fortified, they headed to Oregon. The terrain changed almost immediately as they crossed the state line. More rustic, less pristine, more rough edges, and yes, miles of Pacific Northwest forests. More on Oregon soon!

Melanie’s splurge stay for this part of the #Smi

Melanie’s splurge stay for this part of the #SmithHonigRoadTrip was @timbercoveresort, a rustic-modern hotel on 23 acres of rugged California coastline. Melanie says it’s a bit like being at summer camp, with no early revelries or lights-out rules. The scale of the place makes you feel small. The decor features huge, two-story timber beams and simple plaid blankets on the beds. It was designed in 1963 by owner/architect Richard Clements and meant to be a place of meditation and tranquility. Years later, it still delivers.

Walking along the pristine coastline clears the spirit. The Bufano Peace Statue Monument, soaring 93 feet above the coastline, is an ode to peace and mental clarity. It was created by Clements’ friend, San Francisco artist Benjamin Bufano. Other artists, including Ansel Adams, have been drawn to this place, too. The sunsets are breathtaking…each one unique. The world slows down. The stars are at their brightest. Add in a couple of glasses of local Cabernet, and you’ve achieved summer evening perfection.

After, they headed to Point Arena, for a view of the iconic @pointarenalighthouse and another walk in the invigorating coastal air. Then on to Mendocino, a quaint seaside village with a population of about 850 people, but its location and scenery have made it a popular tourist destination and artists’ colony. It’s a site of historic ship wrecks, a burgeoning timber industry and a well-known music festival. One of the most intriguing sites is the statue at the top of the old Masonic Lodge. Carved entirely from a solid block of redwood, it features Father Time braiding a young woman’s hair.

Finally, we were back in the car and headed to our next destination, the @benbowhistoricinn at the edge of the giant redwood forests.

But more about that when our 19,000 mile road trip across America continues on Thursday.
