What's your planter style?

image

Lately I've been obsessed with planters (it must be the need to see more than dead trees and grass. I'm feeling spring is right around the corner). For the font porch, I love the look of planters on either side of the front door. It feels welcoming and adds so much character to a home. For my own front porch, I'm leaning toward something a bit more modern and geometric with a variety of overflowing greens, but I also love the more traditional and feminine approach using pink flowers and terracotta. Which would you choose? Here are some inspiration photos as well as a few of my favorite outdoor planters below.

Design details: painted front door

image

Last year The Huffington Post did an article about The 6 Absolute Best Paint Colors for Your Front Door (not sure about the lime green). A painted front door seems bold, but I like that it's a bit fun too. Plus, it's always a nice treat as a passerby to see a brightly painted front door. Don't you think? If I were to paint my front door, I often wonder what color I would paint it? I'm sure it would probably be a shade of blue although deep down I may try something brighter like a yellow or orangey red.

What do you think, would you paint your front door? What color would you paint it?

Bedroom Idea: Maps

image

Maps are such a cool idea for a boys room so I've been on the hunt to find the perfect one or possibly some smaller ones to make into a gallery wall for Will's bedroom. I think it's a fun way to see places you've been or dream about places you want to go. Living in several different states over the past 8 years has given me a greater appreciation of geography and something I hope to pass onto my boys.

For your bathroom: turkish towels

When it comes to buying bath towels, I typically stick to basic white ones. However, I recently came across these gorgeous Turkish towels and am tempted to give them a try. The colors alone are beautiful and wouldn't they look great rolled in a basket or stacked in a pile in your bathroom?

Anyone ever tried turkish towels before?
