This Entry Inspires Me

{via}

I really wish I could find that all important thing that makes my entry stand out as wow.

I peruse Pinterest and other usual suspects of online design to inspire me,

 looking for that something that will grab and pull and explain what I want to say through my home about me,

about my family.

Maybe I put too much pressure on such a small space to say all these things,

when really all that needs to be said is

welcome.

Or, this is my home and I'm happiest here.

Or, all my favorite people reside in this house.

I love this entry from Elle Decor.

I never knew a table overflowing with candlesticks would be my thing, but now I know it is.

I'm a sucker for a portrait gallery wall, I especially love how this one is hung.

Add textured walls, ceiling, a simple round pendant light,

you end up with a well balanced entry of modern traditional.

A style I find I gravitate to.

Kelly Wearstler Designs Cameron Diaz's NYC Apartment

I know. I know.

You've seen these photos over and over around the interwebs.

I can't stop myself.

The design of this pad is so unbelievable it makes my eyes bleed with want and desire.

There's nothing more to say 

other than Kelly Wearstler is a goddess.

Last night I was at a party

talking to an Amy C. about our mutual love for Kelly Wearstler.

I was trying to explain to her very ineloquently

{summer brew!}

the images I'd seen in Elle Decor of a Washington home she designed.

This is for you Amy.
