Photographer Ali Harper and her husband are building their “forever home” at Serenbe, and they’re chronicling the building process on a tumblr, Lot 190. In addition to her stunning photography skills, Ali clearly has an impeccable aesthetic, and I’ve loved following along as they make decisions. Above is their gorgeous blue front door, one of my favorite details. According to Ali, the color is “Watery” by Sherwin-Williams.

Do you love blue doors, too? Here are a few of my other favorites:

This one is painted “Number 10” by Dulux Days by Dulux (I think it’s an Australian company).

This one is “Cool Jazz” by Behr (photo by Norman Pogson via This Old House).

This one is “Wythe Blue” by Benjamin Moore (a very popular color). Photo by Hiya Papaya via House of Turquoise.

So pretty!

I saw these bright spring hand soaps from method in my local Target and had to share. Aren’t they perfect for spring?

One of my favorite Etsy sellers is Dimdi. She makes the sweetest watercolor paintings of animals, and they’re wonderfully affordable! Her 8×10 prints are just $25. She also does custom pet portraits based on a photo you send her, and I can speak to the quality of those because we’ve had both of our cats done. Yes, we are those people. I’ll show them to y’all sometime if you’re super nice to me :)

I also more recently discovered another watercolor animal artist, Eastwitching. Between Alison and Irene, you’ll have access to all the adorable animal paintings your walls could ever want. Here’s a small sampling:

All of the watermarked paintings are from Alison, and the others are all from Irene.

I love these paintings for a nursery or child’s room, but they’re also perfect mixed in with other pieces in a more adult space. Here are two of Eastwitching’s flamingos in a cheerful breakfast nook:

Southern Living

I adore a good tiny house, don’t you? Of course, tiny is relative, but I think all of these gems are unified by their cuteness factor.

That last one is my favorite. I just want to squeeze it!!

Upsides to small houses? Less to clean, generally less expensive, lower utility bills, general adorableness. Downsides? Not much storage, can be harder to host overnight guests.

Are you a small house kind of person?
