mcalpine tankersley architecture and the entry way

 

 

Your entryway speaks volumes about your home.

I think that McAlpine and Tankersley have some of the

best entryways that I have ever seen! 

Don't you agree?

Entryway love...

This space is so appealing to me- as an entryway should be. 

Simple and elegant. 

Those floors are amazing!!

Working away on the powder room design.. I think I almost have it.. I will be sharing soon!

Wood and the olive branch..

There is just something about this picture that just makes me weak in the knees...

Maybe it is the soft curve of the table with the straight lines of the door and the ceiling...

Thank you to everyone who came by for a visit to the greige Shop yesterday!!

Making an entrance...

Hello 2011.. How will you be? What will we do with you??

I already have so many plans and ideas. 

How about you? Any plans for the year.. I try not to think of them as changes just enhancements to my life..

Industry in the entryway

This table is amazing!  The contrast with the simplicity of the walls and the stairway is just perfect.

Introductions- Ramsign Enamel House Numbers

I am excited to announce our newest sponsor RAMSIGN. Please take a minute to visit them and see all of their fantastic enamel signs. I am loving the round pieces in black and white today! Wouldn't they look great with the new Black fox door color? Stay tuned for a wonderful give away from RAMSIGN in the coming weeks.

Please come in and stay awhile...

So we are in great need of repainting our front doors.  I would love to have a custom set made with glass insets and a wonderful handset.  But alas this is not to be.  So we are taking what we have and making it cooler.  These are my inspiration photos, many I took while in Boston a while back, I love doors!!  Anyway, I am leaning towards a simple handset like the one pictured below with my exterior accent paint color Sherwin Williams Black Fox.  It is not quite black but more of a grey brown- the best color I have found and I love love it!  What do you think?  We have stacked stone on the front with a lot of grey in it and I think it will work well to have something striking and simple there.  I will be adding Wisteria to the front for a little romance (I just thought of this last night).  I would love your opinion!
