It wasn’t hard at all to find inspiration this week. We had so much fun Friday working on our frames in the studio! I love when we are able to end the week that way… a fabulous creative high!
While surfing the web this weekend, I found these wonderful wine stoppers at Napa Style. Aren’t they fabulous?!?!? These are made from antique and vintage door knobs found at antique stores and flea markets. I want them all, of course.
I found this colorful gate door, designed by architect George Israel, at Southern Living . I love everything about it, from the design to the colors. Having a gate door like this is definitely a bold chose, but what a great way to set the tone for your home, if you dare!
I’m finding myself loving the orange and yellow color combination. It just shouts Summer! You can find this and many more summer wardrobes over at J.Crew.

Happy to hear that you had a great week, Melissa. I know what you mean about ending your week on a good note. :)
I wanted to comment that the bold fun gate is similar to y’alls frame that is multi-colored. I also love the wine stoppers. May have to check into those as gifts. And, J. Crew….Love it. I’m with you…I love all of the bright, happy colors of summer!

Glad you like them all CC. That door is so similar to our style, which is why , I’m sure, I was immediately drawn to it!
Artist, you make me laugh:)

I love being productive, but I have to think back because lately at work I seem to be spinning my wheels.
Love the wine stoppers, but on me orange and yellow scream yuck. Definitely not colors I can wear.

Great inspiration for the week! I have been to Blowing Rock, NC - that is where the picture was taken! How did you like living in NC?

I have to say that the fantastic gate looks exactly like something you would come up with!

Colors are so happy in summer! Anytime, but somehow they just feel extra lovely in the sun!
Happy day!

Hello Melissa!
All of these are beautiful and very inspirational, especially with this heatwave! Thanks so much for your lovely welcome home message. I can see I’ve missed a lot here! Although a part of me will always be in Paris, it’s good to be back.
Hope you’re having a fantastic week.
