Detailed..

 What a wonderful gift to be able to create such detail... I wish that we made more things well these days, so much is just slammed together with just the thought of how cheap it can be made and how quickly..  I love to find people who believe in the quality of things and the talent and time it takes to make them well.. As I get older I find a need for things to be made well and stand the test of time with grace and beauty like this..

I hope you are enjoying your Spring so far!  The weekend was beautiful here and the week promises to be warmer and full of surprizes!  Happy April!

garden doors...

 

One garden mystery I love is what will come back year after year.. somethings are planted and never return but my favorites are the ones that keep coming back and surprising me each year.  It is like opening a door to a beautiful space that is always changing.  

I hope you have a wonderful weekend planned.  We have nothing planned which is the most wonderful thing of all I think.  This way I can take my time in the morning thinking of things to do while I day dream...

Fresh air..

 

I think it is about time we opened up the doors and windows to let the fresh air in.  I am so in need of warmer days, we have had some beautiful teases here in California but I need a little more!  

Things here have been so busy and so amazing I cannot wait to share all of the new pieces we have online and some great upcoming giveaways here on the blog!  It is going to be a great couple of weeks as we ease into Spring, I do hope you will join us for everything!

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?

Dark doors

 

I loved the feeling of this space, it feels lived in and well loved.  That tree I think is what really makes it come a live.  Just that little bit of life in the greenery is perfection.

working towards the dream...

 

I love all of the intricate details of Paris, I love that she stays there being beautiful just waiting for us to visit once again.  I have missed her this year!  We are planning a trip for Spring and I cannot wait to see how little she has changed!  

I hope you have a dreamy weekend!  

We will be here working hard to be able to visit next Spring!

Just a little something girly to inspire you on a Sunday morning to have some fun!

 

library details

 

I love the feeling of this library area, it is exposed to the fresh air and sunlight.  It seems like the perfect spot to relax and read.  I also love the way that the books are stacked in disarray like there are just too many to organize.  

 

grey beauty

 

My goodness..  I just spent a beautiful morning at the flea market!  I found a LOT of beautiful things for myself (which is way dangerous) and had a chance to catch up with a few fellow flea people!

I hope you are having a wonderful Sunday!

Dark Doors..

 

I am considering this.. I love the look of dark painted doors on and interior!  I was thinking of trying it on the doors that lead to our bedroom but I feel like if I do one set I have to do them all (which is obvious) but I just wanted to test it out.  I love that these look like a dark grey not entirely black.  What do you think?   Do you have dark doors?  Do you want them?  Do you love them?

grey modern... love

 

This is a wonderful contrast of ideas.. I love the sliding metal door with the classic shutters and those Cherner chairs.  I want those chairs so so badly!  This just shows that they go with anything!

blush blush

 

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!

Gardens... and Spring...

 

 

I have spent the past few weeks dreaming about what Spring could bring and what I would like to see in our future garden.  I am meeting with our Landscape Architect late this week to see if we can plan out all of the fantastic things we want to do.  I adore the iron doors and windows in the first two images (the first one is Merci in Paris) I would love a pair where the window now is in my dining room, with Wisteria trailing above a seating area and a small fountain.  Hydrangea are my FAVORITE flower in the world and I need to have those in various locations so they are a must.  But the rest is pretty up in the air, we love fruit trees and have a few that were here when we arrived that we would like to keep.  There is to be a pool and hopefully a small pool house.  I cannot wait to get it all down on paper to see if it is even possible and then start tackling it piece by piece.  

What are your favorite garden elements- any recommendations?

Eclectic...

I will be shopping at the flea market on Sunday AM maybe I will find something this good...

Have a great weekend!

Grey Modern

 

When I saw these I was smitten, the clean lines and cool colors are so soothing!  I love the sliding interior doors in that hallway too.  Wishing you a wonderful Sunday.  I am off to the flea market to see what's been going on without me for the last month or so.  Next week is another busy week so I have to rest up.

Don't miss our Rocq Macaron giveaway!!!

Arched entry...

 

These doors are gorgeous and the green garden is not too bad either.

What a whimsical beautiful entryway.
