weekend wishes...

 

Happy weekend blog friends!  We are enjoying a little time on the slopes and playing in the snow, but I am dreaming of another type of vacation.

Here are a few things that caught my eye this week...

This space makes my heart skip a beat..  love the comfortable feeling.

If you have not subscribed to Milieu yet - well you need to for sure. The latest issue is amazing!

A little bit of lemon curd would go well with a spring breakfast.

Getting ready for some beautiful Spring weather would be perfect with a pair of these!

Dark trimmed windows and doors...

 

I am working with a client in Laguna Beach who is building from the ground up and we were chatting yesterday about windows and doors... we ended up deciding on dark details for the exterior.  I love this look and was excited to find so many wonderful examples to back up our ideas...  What do you think?  Would you go dark?

Recovery...

 Just wanted to share a few of my favorite instagram pictures from the trip.  I promise to go through my photos over the holiday weekend and share a bit with you next week.  Every time I visit Paris I fall for it all over again even though she really makes you work for it!  I am exhausted when I return from these trips both physically and mentally!   This weekend I will do my best to fully recover!

I also want to extend a huge THANK YOU to the girls that were nice enough to guest post for us while I was away!  I could not have done it without you!  Thank you to Andrea, Si, and Shari!

Paris bound..

I am spending most of this week wrapping up projects here, shipping and packing for our trip to Paris. I will be posting prep and travel photos on instagram if you want to follow along or you can check out the facebook page too.  Our pool project should be finishing up too... so exciting!  Wishing you a wonderful Monday!

Black entry doors

 

I love the contrast of a black or espresso door.  We have a pink Wisteria planted to go over ours and I am so hoping that this is the year it grows across the front of the house.  These are a few of my favorites that I have collected and were great inspiration for me.  When we redid our kitchen this year I had the painters paint the interior of my doors black also just for a change in the space and I love it. 

Are you a fan of the high contrast?

architectural love..

 

Well we all know I am a sucker for a well designed building.  This one is at the top of my list... let me see here used brick, black doors, white columns, ivy or wisteria growing up one side.  Pretty much perfect I think.  I cannot believe we are already on Thursday again.  How does time fly by so quickly?  Where is it all going and why?  

I hope you are looking forward to a restful weekend (yep I pretty much consider it imminent at this point)!

pool side...

 

Today I will be lounging poolside... I know it seems odd to me in the beginning of December too!   We are taking a little trip to celebrate my husband's birthday.  Don't worry I have so much set up here for while I am away.  I am looking forward to more giveaways and wonderful inspiration!

simplicity in the entry

 

This is so simple and clean.. Just love the different bottles and always love fresh greenery!  

Are you ready for Thanksgiving?  I think I am, turkey and fixins check!

Wishing you a wonderful start to the long holiday weekend!

French this weekend...

What do you have planned for the weekend?  We are doing a bit of this and that around the house.  Hanging art and moving things around and enjoying one of the last weekends of summer.  I also have been invited by the lovely Andrea from French Basketeer to a dinner at her home tonight, I am very excited!  

Wishing you a wonderful weekend whatever you have planned.

greige on the outside..

 

 

The exterior of this home in Los Angeles is so gorgeous!  I love the grey in the siding and the shutters just a subtle color change and it contrasts so nicely with the landscape.  Really the green in the landscape makes the colors work so well.  Looking forward to another busy and successful week here!

Mind trip...

 

You know you are working too much when you get to view all of your really old photos on screen saver video slide shows.  I was reminded of my trip to Portugal almost 6 years ago - is that even possible that it has been that long?!  Wow!  

I hope you have a wonderful weekend planned!  Working on getting caught up here and taking a little family time.
