front door.

I once said that I painted our front door a pretty eggplant color. And I once said that I would post a photo of it. That was forever ago. Here's our front door circa sometime in the month of November:

That cute little pumpkin is obviously long gone, and sadly/embarrassingly enough, that plant still sits there. Although looking much more dead. Sorry plant. But I think Spring has finally sprung because we reached the 70 degree mark today! Woo! And word on the street says that it could reach 80 tomorrow. I burst with excitement :) Time to replace that dead plant with a living one, I say.

But there's the door in its aubergine glory! You like?

bright & white.

In my opinion, that's the way a kitchen should be. I've been absolutely adoring photos of really open light-filled spaces lately. I think it's just so refreshing when a space is simple, clean, and the things that pop out with vibrant color are your belongings - accent pieces, dishes, art or plants. So fun.

My current kitchen is pretty open and bright, but you can't change much in a winter rental. But some day...!

Check out these inspiring bright white spaces.

Now doesn't your mind feel clearer already?

It can look bold, it can look neutral - it's so versatile and I love it. I'm especially diggin' the first ModCloth dress and the world's most perfect heels. The dress is so Mad Men. 


What's your favorite color of the season?

c'est gris.

For a day like today, here's a collection of things in my favorite hue.

Lofty Ideas

I saw this on a fun design blog that I frequent and, it's the new hot thing in my book. If I'm not in a tree house, I'd love to do something like this. Stray from the norm and color your world in a different way...

1. Purple is a flawless kitchen color, in my opinion.

2. Black trim really makes the color pop.

3. Stripes for a kid's room is such a blast!

4. The aqua is so subtle and fresh.

5. Black ceiling with all white is so classy, especially with that decor.

Are you daring enough to try this? What do you think?
