Visual inspiration

 

A little visual inspiration for a Wednesday morning..  It is funny how a group of images can inspire my creativity..  The soft color and texture makes my mind race with possibilities..

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!
