Colour Inspiration - 'Weathered Tones'
 |
| Antique shop door ~ New Orleans |
phew I am just about catching up with normal life after more than three weeks away from home.
I always enjoy travelling, and feel inspired by lots of interesting things I see on my travels. One of the things I will very often notice, is an interesting DOOR!
So, I am not surprised then, that when I just came across this stunning photo (whilst browsing Pinterest) , it spoke to me - in fact it shouted out "Hi, look at me, aren't I just beautiful?!".
The colours on this old door are just stunning together, don't you think?
It inspired me to find a few more beautiful aged doors, with their weathered-paint colour combinations, to share with you.

I adore the fact that colour inspiration, and indeed design inspiration in general, can be found pretty much anywhere, even from something as simple as a door!
If you love doors too check out my Pinterest board dedicated to them here.
Hope you are having a great week,
love,

Monday Marvellous - Autumn's sky blue
 |
| {image from Banana Strudel} |
Hi,
how was the last week for you?
Mine was super busy. Really super busy! I had my job, physio, helping up at school, my Etsy work,
kid wrangling, shopping, cooking... and so on!!
Anyhoo, that is all about to change for 3 weeks - as I am off 'home' to Blighty to see my family.
Four more sleeps that's all! Yay!
This 'Monday Marvellous' post is inspired by a blue grey that I associate with Autumn / Winter skies in Europe. (Its more of a Duck Egg blue really, I guess, it just makes me think of home...
AND it's such a pretty colour too, don't you think?!
