    Casa Mon Amour was Chocolate and BlueBelle. Rescued one year apart, it was love at first sight and for the next 11 years never slept apart, they were the heartbeat of this home.

Casa Mon Amour was a 4-year makeover. The Vision; create a 5-star getaway 2 hours from Los Angeles, ditch dark rooms for open sunlight and the views of nature replaced art.  One day soon will share in the journal the joys, tips, and red flags when reviving labor of love.
