{today I'm inspired by...}

I've been holding onto these photos for ages and want to put them here so I can refer to them later for inspiration... Prepare to drool. Here, have a tissue for that mess you're about to make. I want to swing open these doors and show you my freakin' a m a z i n g living room. Perhaps I'll go all Amy Adams on you and sing the Happy Working Song in my ballgown, as I really can see myself calling out to the nearby forest for creatures to help me tidy things up in my splendid home. I love a grand entryway, I dream of ones that look like this gorgeous space above... I don't like the table in this entry though, I'd prefer something different and with color (a turquoise chest of drawers, perhaps?) but the overall space is lush. Look at the stained glass! Imagine the door bell ringing and you enter this space to welcome your guests? Gosh, so dreamy - very movie-like. I also reallllly like the idea of writing with markers on glass, this is in a cafe but how nice and clever to put a large mirror in the kitchen to write on this way. I think I will do this at some point. Do you know what kind of marker will not ruin glass? What should I look for that I can wipe off easily? (images from who knows, if you know let me know so we can be in the know, deal?)
