Wish List: Dreamy Doors

As part of our "WunderReno" project, we've decided to replace all the doors in our home, including the patio french door and the front entrance. While the patio door has been successfully replaced, the front door is probably going to be put on next year's home improvements list. The interior doors are now being switched out for solid doors. Our home came with hollow-core doors meant to look like a solid door. While on the outside they had the classic colonial styling I like, the inside was empty. This is an especially poor choice for doors which are suppose to offer privacy, like in the case of bedrooms and bathrooms. I put together a collection of doors on my

Pinterest account

. Below, I've pulled some of my favorites. Please visit my

for links.

while we do have raised panels and a french door, neither look this grand... dreamy!

grand main entrance doors with plenty of glass!

we don't currently have a mudroom, but if we did... Dutch Door for sure!

Once our doors are installed, I'll post photos. Until then, I'll be dreaming about these lovelies!

Primary Bedroom Update: Bedding

Yesterday I spoke about being creative this weekend, and today I walked the walk. I worked on our primary bedroom a bit. There's still a lot of work/decor to tackle; new rug, address our seating, ceiling light, paint a few pieces of furniture, but I can check off "bedding" from the list.

Earlier today on

Instagram

I posted a little sneak peek of our new bedding. I received lovely feedback, which always makes me happy.

So here it is in the bigger picture! Sadly, by the time I got to taking photos, it was dark. Oh, well... you get the idea, right? It compliments my walls beautifully, even in evening lighting.

Part of my creative work today was replacing the knobs on our existing bed-side dressers. We'll eventually move these small dressers to the guest room, but for now, new knobs are a nice change. The lamps & bedding I picked up at

HomeGoods

! The

knobs

, 

rope mirrors

and

ceramic knot hooks

I purchased at Target. Our tufted bed is from

Restoration Hardware

. And that Blacksmith sign is from

Ethan Allen

. We bought the sign years ago and had it hanging above our mantle. About five years ago, we updated the fireplace and the sign went into storage (aka: the basement). I'm so happy to find a new home for it. It makes me so happy to bring it out of storage and enjoy it again. What do you think? Yay or nay?

I love that the ceramic urn lamps look aged. One of the things I've tried to do with our "new-er" home, is to age it a bit. The raised panels in several rooms, the color choices, the classic design elements all serve to age the house and add some character.

(you can see a little bit of our new white window panels in the mirror)

Next on the list is a new rug and addressing the seating. We have two comfy chairs that sit in the window, but the fabric is all wrong for this new scheme. I'm guessing I'll have fitted slip-covers made. I'm thinking a printed sailcloth or a nubby linen would be nice. I'll keep you posted!  For now, I'm going to enjoy our new white bedding and quilt. All in good time...

Happy Weekend and Sweet Dream!
