Just a Beautiful Door Post to Pass the Time This Winter

 The Beautiful Doors of the World

perhaps if we are to get poetic, the door is the window into the soul of the home.  I am kinda obsessed with doors, and everywhere I travel (well, I used to travel before the pandemic now I just scroll on Pinterest and Tiktok), I take out my camera and take shots of the doors.  It's just something I'm fascinated with.  This winter has been quite cold and dreary, so today I'm hoping to fill your feed with beautiful doors, beautiful souls. Some of these I took myself- like the door of the former literary queen, Edith Wharton's home while she lived in Paris, but other's I've just picked up in my travels.  Check out my Door Pin board, and stay inspired! 

Happy Nesting, XO Tamara

after a red door, my second favorite is a black door like this one in Dublin

who doesn't love a lacquered door?
this looks somewhere exotic and the tile work is divine!

that color- I'd love to come home to this everyday!
