A beautiful feature of gorgeous doors around the world...

I am a Designer.

I draw a great deal of inspiration from my travels.

 I truly believe travel has shaped the designer that I am today.

Doors are the gateway to beauty. Ahhhh.

One statement always stands out to me in life….

WHEN ONE DOOR CLOSES

ANOTHER DOOR OPENS

We all have difficult moments in life.

Let us not forget that when that difficult door closes, one magnificent one may open.

Like life, there are so many beautiful elements to inspire and shape design…

Doors are the beginning of a new space.

Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte

An open door

A warm space, an open door, can set a welcoming mood.

A girlzzzzz road trip to Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte was one fantastic place to experience just that.

I travelled with a long time friend, and fellow designer….

{who likes to keep her fame wrapped under her wings}…

Doors are the gateway to beauty. Ahhhh.

DOORS are an opening to a new journey.

~ Your first impression to almost any space ~

It means something.

That door you are walking through has deep meaning because it sets the tone for the rest of the space, the mood, the environment.

Your first impression to a home or space, is essential.

~ I believe we should pay attention ~

Beautiful terra cotta coloured walls and colourful door

Rousillon, France

They don’t have to be fancy.

Seriously, I mean that.

Most of the doors in my own home are reclaimed, recycled doors.

Character builders, I like to call them.

Or free.

That is another word that works 🙂

I am all about re-using, recycling, vintage hunting, dumpster diving…

Whatever it takes.

Using a door in any creative way possible.

….Which is way more fun than buying a plastic door in a big box chain store.

Sorry big boxers.

Character should rule.

Doors are the gateway to beauty. Ahhhh.

Lyon,  France

In this next photo

I threw a kink in the wrench by using a street sign for my door pull.

Sorry folks who live on

EVERGREEN HILL RD

I have no idea where your street sign is.

AND

Thank you BIRD…who happened to fly into my photo for a guest cameo.

Our back door at our house 🙂

The doors shown here in our TREEHOUSE were reclaimed doors.

Repurposing doors is a funky thaaang to do.

I am not delusional. Delirious with door design excitement, but not delusional 🙂

There are some doors and entranceways that are worth a truck load of money…… bazmillions of dollars.

Those are the ones that we can draw our INSPIRATION from.

Doors are the gateway to beauty. Ahhhh.

May you find beauty and inspiration from all around you ~
