First Impressions

I have always loved front doors.  I am not sure if it's the intrigue of what’s inside, the power of a first impression or simply a design element that always seems to catch my eye.  

On a recent trip to Tulum, I came across a charming Hotel and Italian Restaurant, Posada Margherita .  I fell in love with it’s eclectic design and especially the colorful doors that lined the walkway up to the open air restaurant set on the beach.   

What does your front door say about you?

 We are big fans of airplants.  

They are low maintenance, affordable  and don’t require soil to grow.  

All they need is moderate light and a good soak every week.
