Five Favorites :: Fabulous Entryways

Entryways offer us first glimpses into a home. It’s where we welcome guests and in some cases store such things as coats, purses, keys  and mail.  Entryway design takes planning if you want to it to be both beautiful and functional, so I’ve rounded up a few fabulous entryways that do both.

Darling Pink Peonies Picnic Birthday Party

 

Pink peonies are favorite, so I had to share this adorable picnic birthday party of little Mila I spotted on Pinterest.

How cute are the little gold crowns on each chair, fringe streamers and diy pinata letters spelling out the birthday girl’s name?!

Love the little biodegradable  birch wood plates from eco-gecko topped with kumquats. And check out those gorgeous pink peonies in full bloom.

Donuts instead of cake or cupcakes? Why not.

At the end of the table a pair of drink dispensers from Pottery Barn are placed for guests to serve themselves. So simple.

Bathroom Vanity Ideas

Last week my own home project got underway. In need of some extra space, we are adding a master suite onto our existing house. I’m most excited about having a new bathroom and am in the process of narrowing down tile, lighting and plumbing fixtures. The vanity has proven to be more difficult for me to design. We want to have the most storage we can get out of it, while not having it feel too heavy. So most recently I’ve been on been on the lookout for smart bathroom vanity ideas. Here are a few beautiful custom vanities that have caught my eye.

bathroom vanity with tower cabinet

Love the extra storage that this vanity with cabinet combo provides!

mirrored bathroom vanity

Although a little too glam for my taste, I think this vanity, marble counter and lucite mirror pairing is fabulous.

gray and white bathroom vanity

This vanity looks like an antique chest of drawers which I love, but is too petite for our space. But, isn’t the tile outstanding as well?

bathroom vanity with lucite pulls

This is a beautiful vanity in a traditional style, but with a contemporary lucite pull. Love the grasscloth here too!

glam bathroom with layered mirrors - Suzane Kasler

I love the this vanity that feels like a vanities may look like freestanding pieces of furniture. The beautiful layered mirrors  also caught my attention.

bathroom vanity with leather pulls

The extend countertop and leather pulls had me loving this modern bathroom vanity.

The open shelving separating the sinks on this vanity had me taking a second look.

blue bathroom vanity - Jamie Drake

This vanity in glossy powder blue with opening shelving is a fave. Love the charming cutout pulls. Paired with teal grasscloth, gold fixtures and neutral tile floor, this bathroom is a stunner.

I’ve pinned so many more inspiring bathroom designs on my Designer Bathrooms Pinterest board and am having a hard time narrowing down what I want!

Also, if you are looking to update your bathroom soon, check out Joss & Main’s bath sale – they have some great tile, vanities and facets on sale!
