:: Meet Me at Mikes :: My Place and Yours - Through the Front Door

this week's theme for the meme over at Meet Me at Mikes is 'Through the Front Door', chosen by Shelley from Femme de Montmartre. anyone can play by adding their post link to the list. a very nice theme choice i might add. . .


although we only rent this little townhouse, I quite like the outside of the entrance - we have a couple of little succulent gardens, some whirl-gigs and a formerly big and beautiful orchid. help! it isn't doing so well, does anyone have any orchid care tips? i've been neglecting it as previously advised but that is obviously not working. it is an awfully small area so we don't really hang out here much, but we have been known to sit out here on our little stools and eat icy poles on a warm afternoon. Bea occasionally has the urge to sit out here while eating frozen peas! Funny habit of a little so and so!

another part of the outside entrance I quite like is the big door. . .


the giant knob in the middle and painted stained glass window really give it a bit of a personality. of course the best part of going through any front door is what is found inside - when coming from a certain angle one can peek at the reflection on the mirror and see if anyone is sitting on the couch. i'm not sure about the feng shui aspects of having this mirror here, but it does gives me a good feeling when i spy someone in the mirror. today, i spy someone's little legs on the couch. . .

thanks for visiting my place and letting me have a peep into yours!
