Welcome to Villa Aralia at The Colony Hotel in Palm Beach. I'm so excited to finally share this dream of a two-bedroom suite at my favorite place to stay in town. If you've been following along with us at Mark D. Sikes Interiors, you know that we've been celebrating our 10-year anniversary by sharing our love of blue and white, so it's only fitting that we approached our partnership with The Colony in the same spirit.

The villa is filled to the brim with all of my favorite things. I saw this special project as an opportunity to showcase the vendors I love working with on a daily basis. We chose furniture from our line with Chaddock Home and lighting from our collection with Hudson Valley Lighting. Hanging on the walls are beautiful botanical prints from Ornis Gallery. Joseph Steiert brought his masterful touch to the walls of a bedroom, hand-painting stripes that integrated seamlessly with the custom Brunschwig & Fils fabric throughout the villa. Paint from Farrow & Ball, window treatments from Valley Drapery, and upholstery from Carma Windows & Design gave the space the sense of brightness and fun I was looking for.

Everything that I used to decorate Villa Aralia can be resourced and purchased through HIVE Home, Gift, and Garden. Just a stone's throw away from The Colony, HIVE is your one-stop shop in Palm Beach to create your own blue and white dream.

From 2:00 to 4:00 pm on December 16th, I'll be at HIVE signing my books Beautiful and More Beautiful. I hope to see you there!
