ENAMORED WITH ENTRYWAYS

Lately, some great entryways have caught my eye. They are such great spaces to create a vignette that speaks about your home as soon as you open the door... they're also a great place to catch a few everyday items. But, beyond the keys and sunglasses, I love an entryway that's highly styled, and I think these spaces get it right...

There are so many differing elements in this vignette and they all work together flawlessly. The clear glass lamp lets light and space into the area. 

The unassuming glamour of this one is perfect. Its clean, but decorated. 

Highly Styled - this is what I'm talking about. While there is not room for much else than decor, it really makes a bold and exciting statement!

P.s. Today my dear sweet, lifelong friend Kara has made a post in honor of my engagement. Please pay her a little visit - it will be worth it! Her blog is addicting!

PERFECT PURPLE

So, yesterday, it was all about white and bright. 

Today it's all about royal, luscious, and perfect purple...

Purple velvet with pink piping... I die!

TRENDSPOTTER: WHITE ENTRYWAY TABLES

A great entryway is something I love to see when coming into a home. It gives the person who lives there the instant feeling that they are back into their familiar space, and it gives their guests a first impression. Its a small space that can ooze with style...

Lately, all I seem to notice is gorgeous white entry way tables. They are chic, have a personality of their own, and give a sometimes ill-lighted corner of a home some brightness.

I'm loving this one that belongs to Palmer Weiss. The elephants are to die for!
