welcome.

we moved into our home about a year ago and one of the first purchases i made was a wreath quite similar to the one below. i felt it was the appropriate way to welcome fall and to welcome guests. there is something so cheerful about a pretty wreath. i imagined other wreaths that would grace our front door -- an evergreen wreath for Christmas, a wreath of forsythia to bring the spring...but then I was so enamored with my fall wreath that I couldn't bear to take it down and to be honest I never purchased any other pretty wreaths to take its place. so it is still on my front door welcoming the fall again this year.

i like the idea of the transitional door hangings below. harvest and winter themes mingled together. wouldn't these be lovely for late november and early december? i am feeling motivated to find another beautiful wreath.

isn't this front just fabulous with the red door?

happy fall <3

open me.

this is a tough one for me - endless options. and something so small that can have such a huge impact. decorative hardware, kitchen cabinet knobs and pulls. there are too many to choose from. or make for yourself. they can spruce up an outdated kitchen, bring a whimsical side to an otherwise regimented kitchen, or make a bold statement in a simple kitchen. you choose.

how convenient.

what can you do when you have an empty stretch of wall? i love a skinny table - plus it's a great place to keep your keys - even if it's not in your entry way!

also great when they are fully stocked. from pottery barn

never would have thought of painting only half, or having different legs, but it's incredible, especially combined with the rest of it. from house to home

lofty goals.

some people may be discouraged at the idea of having to "stick" their bedroom in an upstairs attic. whoever is sleeping in these beds clearly have a better outlook on life - they have made these into some enviable respites.

imagine what a different outlook you would have on life if you woke up every morning surrounded by this.

love the half door.

check out the worn island.

carpet?

the pattern on the chair is incredible. and the vase on the side table is so visually addictive.

the color choices are intoxicating.
