WINTER BLUES: DOORS

As some of you may remember, I LOVE entryways.  Doors, fences, gates, and arbors; I find them to be one of the most important and intriguing elements of a space. In order to alleviate the winter blues, I thought I would share some exotic blue doors.

BEACON HILL: WREATH INSPIRATION

As a resident of Boston, one of my favorite things to do is walk up and down the streets of Beacon Hill.  Not only is this a workout, it's a fabulous place to look for inspiration!  Here I find great paint color, design, and drawing inspiration.  I enjoy spending an afternoon on the hill during all times of the year, but there is nothing quite like the holidays.  During a recent walk, I discovered great wreath inspiration.

And I fell in LOVE on Acorn Street.

NANTUCKET: COLOR, TEXTURE, PATTERN

During college, I studied abroad in Italy; at this time I discovered that some of my most inspirational photographs were of a specific detail or texture.  An overall photo of a structure is a great memory and reference, but most do not credit the smallest details.  When I was on Nantucket, I tried to take overall photos, as well as detail shots showing texture, pattern, and color. These are great inspiration for projects and color schemes.  Here are a few of my favorites.
