Catching up on some internet surfing today. I love this shot, and I have a thing for bridges. Happy New Year, and may 2015 provide you a bridge to something new, something adventuresome, something fun, back to home if that’s where your heart is, and more.

Glass doorknob and brass hardware. It’s all in the details. #presinpink

And a red clapboard neighbor. #presinpink

There’s something inviting about a red house, especially in the north during winter months.

Exterior Trimmings

I’m an observant person. I notice things around me. Recently I was in a small town to the west of Minneapolis. I saw two homes that have what I refer to as “exterior trimming”. It’s along the vein of tree trimming during the Christmas holiday in that it’s decorative. Some might say these are whimsical or displaying someone’s personality. They caught my eye and made me wonder about the owners and their reasoning for displaying these items, particularly the mirror and its placement above the garage.

Exterior trimming

No doubt my eyes will be on the lookout for more of these unusual trimmings. Does your home have any atypical exterior trim?
