Door Details

I'd really love to zhush up a couple of the generic white paneled interior doors in our house.  One of them is the door to my husband's office and the other is the dining room door to the kitchen.  How great would a nail head tricked out door with a round porthole window be for the dining room?!  I've been all over the internet trying to come up with some ideas. These two examples (both via Martha Stewart) are not exactly what I had in mind, but they're both so clever and pretty that I decided to post them here.  Have you gotten fancy with any of the doors in your space?

Wednesday Wants

On a recent trip to a local bookstore with a good friend, we picked up this charming little book and started flipping through the pages.  I've read about the author online and seen his addictive blog before, so now I'm wondering how it was that I left this shop without actually buying this sweet book? I need to go back there, today!

Gearing Up Again

It's hard to believe, but my middle child/younger daughter will be turning 10 this Spring! As I start to plan her birthday party, I've been given some not-so-subtle reminders that "we need to start thinking about her bedroom re-do." If you're new here, when my oldest daughter turned eleven she was given a room make-over, turning her very young girl's room into a sophisticated pre-teen room.  Apparently, this is now a right of passage in our home, and I've been reminded that it's time to look for the inspiration for her room's decor.  After scouring Pinterest and even creating a board for this project, I eventually turned to what should've been an obvious source...Teen Vogue! Thankfully, "my client" thinks we are on the right track...

Girly Mod

I was already familiar with the beautiful interiors of talented designer, Melanie Coddington.  However, it wasn't until I started following Ms. Coddington on twitter, that I got to know the extent of her designs or the fact that Ms. Coddington writes a lovely blog, Girly Modern: Glam Is Good. I love it when social media leads to fun new online finds.
