Black entry doors

 

I love the contrast of a black or espresso door.  We have a pink Wisteria planted to go over ours and I am so hoping that this is the year it grows across the front of the house.  These are a few of my favorites that I have collected and were great inspiration for me.  When we redid our kitchen this year I had the painters paint the interior of my doors black also just for a change in the space and I love it. 

Are you a fan of the high contrast?

architectural love..

 

Well we all know I am a sucker for a well designed building.  This one is at the top of my list... let me see here used brick, black doors, white columns, ivy or wisteria growing up one side.  Pretty much perfect I think.  I cannot believe we are already on Thursday again.  How does time fly by so quickly?  Where is it all going and why?  

I hope you are looking forward to a restful weekend (yep I pretty much consider it imminent at this point)!

pool side...

 

Today I will be lounging poolside... I know it seems odd to me in the beginning of December too!   We are taking a little trip to celebrate my husband's birthday.  Don't worry I have so much set up here for while I am away.  I am looking forward to more giveaways and wonderful inspiration!

This is so simple and clean.. Just love the different bottles and always love fresh greenery!  

Are you ready for Thanksgiving?  I think I am, turkey and fixins check!

Wishing you a wonderful start to the long holiday weekend!

French this weekend...

What do you have planned for the weekend?  We are doing a bit of this and that around the house.  Hanging art and moving things around and enjoying one of the last weekends of summer.  I also have been invited by the lovely Andrea from French Basketeer to a dinner at her home tonight, I am very excited!  

Wishing you a wonderful weekend whatever you have planned.

greige on the outside..

 

 

The exterior of this home in Los Angeles is so gorgeous!  I love the grey in the siding and the shutters just a subtle color change and it contrasts so nicely with the landscape.  Really the green in the landscape makes the colors work so well.  Looking forward to another busy and successful week here!

Mind trip...

 

You know you are working too much when you get to view all of your really old photos on screen saver video slide shows.  I was reminded of my trip to Portugal almost 6 years ago - is that even possible that it has been that long?!  Wow!  

I hope you have a wonderful weekend planned!  Working on getting caught up here and taking a little family time.

Garden Entry

 

Oh my, thank goodness it is almost the end of the week.. we can celebrate Thursday right?

I love the amazing windows in this house, it seems they almost touch the floor and the arched gateway is amazing!

In detail..

 

Good morning!  After a little blogging/technology break yesterday I am feeling so refreshed and ready to get the week going!  This image is amazing in so many ways.. well the most obvious is the detail in the doorways.. then the clean simplicity is pretty fantastic.  

I hope you had a wonderful weekend!  I have so much to share I am hoping to get to it all this week!

Some days a color just grabs you.  I was loving these little touches of the lightest of pinks..

We had a wonderful weekend here at home, just the necessary amount of relaxing and trying to catch up.  I am looking forward to getting some things taken care of this week and I promise to get to sharing some great new books I am loving as well as some of the great flea market finds from this weekend that I am super excited about.

Happy Monday and welcome April!

Oh so Manly..

 

How amazing is this Manhattan home of the Chief Creative Officer at Ralph Lauren?  It is so very manly and I love the mix of vintage and new.  The tolix chairs alone make the space for me.  

What do you have planned for this weekend?  I am taking a well needed break from work and activities for a little relaxing time at home.  

Also, don't miss out on One Kings Lane's newest vintage sales that started just yesterday.  Just think of all of the great goodies you can find everyday!

Going somewhere..

 

I saw these and was immediately in love- this is some amazing talent!  

I have a presentation today and then it is back to the ordering grind for ongoing projects.  I wish I felt like I was moving forward but I am not sure if I am really getting anywhere anymore.

Tomorrow I will share with you a little bit of what I have been up to and I am hoping to get to share some great new books that I have discovered too!

Wishing you a lovely Wednesday.

Perfectly Imperfect..

 

This is so fantastic!  I love that someone can appreciate the imperfection of this wall and see it as art.  

I hope you are having a wonderful week!  We are running around like crazy here- up to our eyeballs in boxes and packing up all of those purchases from the sale.

I cannot thank you all enough for all of your support with everything in my business including the blog.!!!

Paris flash back

 

I have been dreaming of going back to France for a few weeks now.  I wish I was able to go for the Maison & Objet show, my dream really.  Maybe for the Fall show...  but I have been looking through my pictures and realized that there is a lot that I did not share with you.  These are just a few pictures that I took inside the Louvre, I was a little giddy in there (my shoes were killing my feet and I think I may have lost it for a little while).  I took photos of things that made me smile as you can see!  

Wishing you a wonderful weekend filled with things that make you smile!

Don't miss our Tastemaker Tag Sale tomorrow on One Kings Lane!
