The August/September issue of Adore is out and it's as fresh and fun as always.  While all of this could never work in my house, it's still lots of fun to look!  I've included only a tiny bit of all that can be enjoyed.  Go here to see the fun.

Gwyneth Paltrow's house via decorpad While interior design is a primary focus at TPP, I also love being charmed by a home's exterior.  Ever since I can remember, I've fixated on facades scrutinizing and analyzing them as I peer out a car window, go for a walk, or look at home magazines.  I'm noticing more and more front doors painted blue, and it's a trend I like a lot.
