Wreath on Farmhouse Door

I love this old door decorated with a vine and wildflower wreath. I wonder if the recession behind the wreath opens somehow from the inside to check who's calling? Look closely, there's a lit Christmas tree inside. via

Wonderful Bedroom for Two Boys

Another celebrity couple are featured in a July 2017 post in Architectural Digest. This is my favorite room, shared by two young brothers. The caption below the photo in the article (link is fixed) mentions the source of all decorator items except the elephants quilts, which make the room. Sadly, since publication, the couple is no longer together. 

I made a delicious broccoli soup late yesterday garnished with leftovers. I had it for breakfast this morning and it was a delicious way to start my day. xo
