Front Doors: Moroccan Inspirations

I have been considering adding elaborate tile to the bottom of my front door.  There is this step up where below the door the house exterior continues for a couple of inches.  So, my thought is tiling that portion on both the front door, side door, and I am thinking about doing the same thing off the back sunroom (eventually).  Here are some Moroccan inspirations I have been looking at with the combination of blue doors and tiled stoops.  I am loving them!

This is what I am thinking of for the stoop {well with all the tiles}...

So what do you think?  How would tile look below my doors?

Karma Living Via One Kings Lane

My love of the week.  Out of my budget but not out of my decorating imagination!  I would get one to drape at the end of the bed and one for the couch in the living room...if I may, if I might, have this wish I wish tonight.  They are like snowflakes, no one alike and each beautiful in their uniqueness.  Not only are they unique but they are two sided--double the pattern for double the fun!

Here are my favorites of the Karma Living Quilts from One Kings Lane...

A Backyard Oasis & My Love of Everything in It

Jaime of Prudent Baby was introduced to me via a post on the Inspired Room and I am glad I found it.  This backyard lounge area is beautiful!  Everything about it is my style and taste from the woven coffee table and bench from anthropologie to the pendant light to the metal black chairs and beyond to the tiny accents and personalized tids and bits.  Just brilliant all around.  Check out some of the highlights....

I love the pendant, still on sale HERE at West Elm (I am contemplating it, after seeing this image, for my dining nook) and the chairs which she got for a steal on Overstock but, alas, I can't find them right now :(...
