Holiday entry..

 

I love this door with the boxwoods!  So simple and sweet!  Even though it is not officially December yet the Holidays are upon us!  I am excited to get into the full swing of things around here and see if I can catch that holiday spirit.

What do you do to prepare for the holidays?  I would love some tips on how you keep it all going!

Thank you all for your sweet birthday wishes!

Vintage Guilded mirror..

 

I cannot believe it is Wednesday already!  Another week disappearing right before my eyes...  

The bathroom remodel is well underway and I am getting excited!  Tile comes in at the end of the week and will be installed next week.  I remember when I started all of this I wanted to have a gorgeous gilded mirror like this for over the sinks.  Alas, it will not be that way but I have a few fun things up my sleeve to make it just so.

making an entrance

 

I love that even the smallest of spaces can be made into an entry, just a little place to greet guests and show a little peek into what is beyond in your home.  The perfect little spot to drop your keys or keep your purse.

I also write for houzz check out my entryway ideas.

Style in the entry

 

Another week is upon us and I am not sure I feel like I am accomplishing much around here.

I am complete in awe of the this beautiful entryway and the mirror, it is so very lovely and unique, the things that make a house a home.  

There is a lot going on around here and I am wondering something.. as I start to do some long awaited work on our home, if you are interested in seeing the changes taking place?  I have not really explored that here on the blog as it has been a lot of inspiration and work ideas.  I am just curious if you, my lovely reader, are interested in this type of addition. 

Also, this week look for a little giveaway here and some other fun things!

Wishing you a lovely Monday to start off the week.

Grey in the entryway...

 

How yummy is all of that moulding and the bike is very sweet too!!

Sometimes I wish that I lived in a big city so that I could ride my bike around and then store it in my beautifully detailed entryway.. but then I come back to reality and I live here...

Abstract inspiration

 

Some days you cannot place your finger on what exactly you love about a photo or a space but it is inspiring.  Some photos just make me think that life is full of so many layers and ideas that it is hard to separate them into any type of design thought.  Does that make any sense?  Often when I look at a photo of a space I can see the elements separately that make it up, but there are other times that I just cannot pinpoint what it is that makes me love it- I just do... 

These two images are like that for me... 

Also, last chance to enter our giveaway!

Shopping on La Cienega: Kristen Buckingham

 

 

The Entry door was my favorite inside and out.

Loved the pocket doors in black also- just a nice little surprise.

 

On my last visit to La Cienega I had the pleasure of visiting  the Kristen Buckingham showroom.  It was full of eye candy!  The exterior paint was my favorite and reminded me of being in Paris where each shop seems to have it's very own style.

Inside was like a treasure chest of mixed styles and colors!

Style in the entry

 

I love entryways, they set the stage for the home and welcome owners and guests alike. This is the perfect place to set up a vignette in your home.  It is a little bit show and a little bit useful but should always reflect what you want people to see about your house.  It is like a sneak peek to let them know what to expect once they are invited in.  

These are a few of my favorites!  

Mud room organization...

 

 This is such a fun way to organize a useful space.  Love the mirror to make that last minute check and it seems to really expand the space.

The House of Windsor: Veranda

 

Some gorgeous peaks at the interiors of The House of Windsor by Veranda.  It looks amazing.  As it should, the designers were a complete who's who of the design industry.  

It is open now to the public Thursday thru Sunday until the end of July.  

I am loving that kitchen and the flooring in the entry.  

Check out more here from Joni at Cote De Texas too.

mcalpine tankersley architecture and the entry way

 

 

Your entryway speaks volumes about your home.

I think that McAlpine and Tankersley have some of the

best entryways that I have ever seen! 

Don't you agree?
