Every home should have: Beautiful Doors

Amazing door at Bruno Frisoni Moroccan home
I have posted before about how important and sometimes overlooked doors are in interiors.  It’s a great opportunity to make a room or a home a carefully thought through beautiful space.  From painting faux moldings to simply wallpapering to a more expensive alternative of replacing them anyone can enhance its look and value.  Enjoy!

Below, Jean Luis Deniot did what it seems fretwork above the doors in this beautiful space in India.

Sometimes with only paint, preferibly in a contrasting color, would make an impact.

Paint faux moldings.


I know that not everybody get to have doors like this one but it is a great source of inpiration.

Sliding doors are not only functional but they can be sculptural as well.



Love this big farm door.



This is such a great idea.  The door below leading to the kitchen is covered with mirror and wood molding.

Covering a door with fabric or wallpaper is a pretty good alternative as well.

Statement earrings

Every girl just wants to look pretty.  One of the most
instantly beautifying tips a women can always count on is the use of a pair of
statement earrings.  Accessories do to a woman what ornaments do to a
Christmas tree; they make her shine like a diamond.  Enjoy!

Pamplemousse Design and the city

Warren Platner chairs by Knoll in the living room designed by Pamplemousse Design.
I was more than exited to see the chic work of Dalphine
Krakoff founder of Pamplemousse Design inc. in this moth issue of AD. 
Delphine Krakoff does chic like no other and in case you were wondering how she
does it: she was born and raised in Paris and has worked for luxury houses such
as Louis Vuitton, Christian Dior, Coach and Ralph Lauren.  
Pleasurable enough experiences that grant her a natural French flair that comes
across in her amazing interior design projects.  Take a look for yourself. 
Enjoy!
The striped bathroom is covered in Bisazza tile

Now this is a screen room that looks so comfortable and huge that it could perfectly be converted into a guest room for multiple guests or better for sleep overs. 

Love the spacious bathroom and the floor to ceiling windows

The elevator is upholstered in clad in calfskin.

From my print to you and Bloglovin

This smart and beautiful geometric masterpiece was created by me, myself and my computer.  I present to you one of my prints which I tried really hard
to create from the bottom of my heart, imagination, and creativity.  I
wanted to create something that was completely unique and transcends the
fashion times aka. modern and classic at the same time.  I hope you love it, want it and buy many of them and share
them with your family and friends because I think it’s kind of cool and good
looking!
FYI it can be printed in any color of your choice.  Later
I’ll share the rest of my print line with you which is all awesome and unique,
but don’t hesitate, they’re coming soon!
My entire print line is officially copyrighted

And on another note, as everybody should know by now, Google Reader is closing
down for goods which leaves us with one great option to continue following our
favorite blogs, Blogloving.  Believe it or not, I was not a regular
Blogloving user, I actually never used it.  I just didn’t want to add another
Internet way of consuming my little free time left.  You know that thing
about living in the moment?  But this morning when I was transferring my Blogs
follower list I felt better than I was replacing instead of adding one more, so
thanks Google for the change because frankly, Bloglovin is kind of better
looking than your old Google reader.  I think!
Since this morning Belle Vivir
is actively live in Bloglovin in case you were worried about how to continue
