Bloomhouse and West Elm Partnership Bursts with Style

René Craft • Dec 25, 2018

With a home as special as the Bloomhouse, Chereen Fisher , owner of Top Trip Rentals,  sought to provide an unparalleled guest experience to complement the architecture and setting. To achieve this, she partnered with modern home furnishings company  West Elm  to bring the ethereal vision of the Bloomhouse to life.

“It’s a work of art that guests can enjoy with all of their senses,” is how Chereen described the Bloomhouse’s transformation. “This is our first vacation home completely curated for a singular Top Trip experience,” she added. Every single detail—lighting, books, furniture, sound, and scents— were chosen to match the level of whimsy and modernism that the architecture of the Bloomhouse inspires.

When West Elm came on board, the design team wanted to mirror the shapes and sights of the unique space. “I wanted everything to be very organic and flowing because, in this home, your eye never stops,” said Kara Olson, Texas District Designer for West Elm, “I kept the look consistent so that everything contained the shapes and character of the home: the ceramics, the fabrics, the linens.”

See how the interiors match the elegance factor of the groundbreaking architect  Charles Harker’s  organic design.

A magical setting like the Bloomhouse deserves equally transcendent interiors. Here, a West Elm Clara Sleeper Sofa piled with pillows and a throw envelop the guest in modern comfort. The glass and walnut Marcio Display Coffee Table holds art and design books giving guests a reason to linger.

Imagine sleeping inside a fluffy cocoon with views of a private canyon. This is the fantastical place of dreams. All linens, bed, and even the slumber scent have been inspired by the home and its natural surroundings. Seen here with West Elm’s organic and fair-sourced Melange Jacquard Duvet Cover and 400-thread count organic cotton sheets.

At long last, relax. Soothing sights and sounds are all thought of in this curated home including a custom Spotify playlist of more than 60 songs cued up on the Sonos. There’s even a house cocktail crafted with local spirits to match the vibe of the home.

Zen out at the dining nook with a cup of tea or power through a work deadline with views of the canyon through the portal window of this serene space. Feel inspired to write, create, think, or meditate from this otherworldly spot.

Ladies and Gentlemen, start your engines! UT Football has begun, the ACL Festival is BACK and Formula One racing is faster than ever! (ok we're not sure about that fast fact, but it sounds accurate!) We still have a few homes left for these legendary Austin events, so make your reservations soon!

Camp Blanco boasts an 18 acre property that’s the perfect getaway spot for your “pod” with 2 separate homes, a bunkhouse, a game room and two camping tee-pees (13 beds total!) and tons of outdoor space to roam. We used this gorgeous space as our baby moon getaway and it was the quintessential setting to spend quality time together and enjoy the beautiful open air. This dreamy and secluded spot used to be a Girl Scout campground in the 1940’s, and you’ll see several nods to the historic space throughout the property. From The Ranger stone house, The Brownie bunk house, and The Tagalong luxury tents, you’ll feel like you’re in an adult glampground!

If you remember, I rented a condo in downtown Austin to ring in the New Year with this fabulous rental company. Click here to read about that trip. At the time, they were under the name “Top Trip Rentals”. Top Trip Rentals has rebranded to Lodgewell, and well we lodged indeed! Lodgewell and their incredible team will forever be my go to for destination home rentals in Texas. For this family trip we chose Lodgewell’s newest property, The Good Morning Ranch . The Good Morning Ranch is a Rural Ranch Retreat boasting 10 acres of unadulterated Texas Hill Country. It’s nestled down a dirt road just minutes outside of Wimberley, TX which is the CUTEST and COOLEST Texas town. You’ll feel like you’ve fallen off the grid which is exactly what I was looking for in this family vacay! When we walked through the door we were we were greeted with retro, GREEN kitchen cabinetry, vintage country music posters, quilts and mounted deer heads! So very Austin, and so very cool! The bag of chips and queso (and my FAVORITE salsa) on the counter made me smile from ear to ear. Lodgewell has a history of making me feel at home, and their amenity boxes did the trick!
