"Black Doors"




By having the black door in the centre & the black fencing, down pipe
& Number 4  on either side they have balanced out the black.
 Greenery with scented roses creates a soft fragrant entrance!!
As I have now nearly completed my stairwell ( just need to create some artwork to hang) my attention has now turned to our Front Door!!
We have been thinking about painting our front door gloss black to tie in with the top rail & main posts of our stairwell. It's just screaming out to be done & it will suit the  Modern Classic look I'm creating for our Townhouse.

What colour front door do you have?
What would you like to have?

Here are some inspiration images I have found via Pinterest for Black Doors:




I LOVE these black barn doors!!! Oh to have a large
 property with a barn-sigh!
You can also follow our Doors & Gates Pinterest board here: http://www.pinterest.com/blondelily/doorways-gates/  
for more inspiration & other colours too!


What a classic Front Door-Oh to see the rest of house!


A more Modern streamline look- added by the
symmetry & simplicity of the windows

A Modern Classic with crisp white exterior
& simple potted greenery




Ciao for now Bella xo

Weekend Project- Reinventing pot plants

A couple of weekends ago I found an old brown pot in my backyard which has been empty for ages.
I nearly threw it out as it was a very bland pot, but it was in perfect condition & I preferred to re-invent & recycle it instead.
My old brown pot before I got my paint brush to it!
On with the first coat
& "TAH DAH" just 3 coats later with my new fiddle-leaf fig
 plant & we have a brand new classic white pot plant for our
stairwell.



Well this weekend has been really windy & cold outside & I have been inside most of the day in my office/studio working on a Client's Interior Project & drawing my next art piece. More on those in the next coming weeks.

Ciao for now, Bella
