Inspiration on the Water: Our Journey with Mi Amor Charters
As designers, we’re always looking for new sources of inspiration—whether it’s in nature, architecture, or the details that make a space truly unforgettable. During our recent trip to South Florida, we had the pleasure of experiencing a design journey like no other, thanks to a recommendation from our hotel concierge. They suggested we explore the breathtaking homes and gardens along Fort Lauderdale’s Intracoastal Waterway aboard Mi Amor Charters, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip.
A Luxurious Tour with Mi Amor Charters
From the moment we stepped onto the Mi Amor, we knew we were in for a special experience. Captain Steve greeted us warmly and set the tone for a relaxing and inspiring voyage. As we cruised through the scenic waterways, we were surrounded by stunning waterfront homes, each with its own unique architecture and beautifully landscaped gardens.
The trip gave us a rare, up-close view of South Florida’s luxurious estates, where lush greenery, vibrant flowers, and artistic outdoor spaces created picture-perfect settings. Seeing these designs from the water provided a fresh perspective—one that sparked new ideas for incorporating natural beauty into our own projects.
Design Inspiration at Every Turn
The gardens we admired were masterpieces in their own right, seamlessly blending tropical elegance with modern sophistication. Some featured cascading bougainvillea framing grand entrances, while others had serene waterfront patios adorned with intricate floral arrangements. Every stop along the way offered a new take on landscape and floral design, giving us valuable insights to bring back to our work at Donaldson Designers.
An Unforgettable Experience
Our time with Mi Amor Charters wasn’t just about sightseeing—it was a journey of creativity and inspiration. Captain Steve’s knowledge of the area and his seamless navigation made the experience effortless and enjoyable. Whether you’re a designer, an architecture enthusiast, or simply looking for a relaxing way to experience Fort Lauderdale, we highly recommend booking a trip with Mi Amor Charters.
We returned from our trip refreshed and full of ideas, ready to infuse the beauty we witnessed into our upcoming projects. Sometimes, the best design inspiration isn’t found in a studio—it’s out there in the world, waiting to be discovered.
Until next time, South Florida!
