Currently I'm debating and in the same time digging the "slip dress"trend. I don't consider myself a follower of all the trends that show up every season but certainly I take some inspiration and wear it in my own characteristic way.
Instead of wearing a real nightgown on a daylight (which I will totally do it in the near future, if I find the perfect one) I chose something similar, this flowy silk dress. Again summery pieces don't have to go in the cold season. Speaking of the cold season let's not forget we are in December so this look needed some layers and I must add a fuzzy/ wool  piece, not just for the great effect of two totally different fabrics but to stay warm as well. This was my Christmas Eve look!

Congratulations to Stefanie Gladden for winning the AO at Home giveaway!


Stefanie, check your mailbox. You've got a $200 Target gift card on the way.

Happy Monday y'all!

I'm over at The Green Room Interiors  today, pimping Kimberly's dollhouse. Check it out and see my boards for her living and dining rooms. There was no budget and she provided some amazing pieces to start with so basically I went hog wild.



And don't forget to enter the AO at Home giveaway for your chance to win a $200 gift card from Target!

Happy Monday!

One of my favorite things about blogging is discovering talented people whom you would otherwise never have a chance to meet. I've gained quite a number of friendships through this little black door of mine and these women (and a few dudes) inspire me and blow my mind with their creativity.

Kimberly Hughes is one such friend. She and I have been trading ideas and design crushes for a long time and I was so thrilled for her when she got her dream job last year as the editor for AO at Home. Never did I imagine I would benefit so much from her job! :)


My girl worked for months recreating AO at Home, the design blog for AO.com, the online appliance home for the UK, and since its relaunch it has become one of my favorite stops.

AO at Home is chalk full of goodness with inspiration roundups, buying guides, amazing interviews and recipes to make you drool. Not to mention all the DIY ideas and seasonal projects.

And here is where it gets even better. To celebrate the launch of AO at Home's new look, they are going to give one lucky person a $200 gift card to Target. Wahoo! Can you think of anything better?

In order to win you must be a GFC follower of Little Black Door (the blue 'join this site' button on the right side of the page) and leave a comment for me below.

The contest will end next Friday, September 13 and the winner will be announced that following Monday.

Good luck and happy weekend!

I told you that weekend was going to be a killer! Sorry for my MIA-ness on Monday but mamma was beat.

The good news is the weekend was a success. I had three great new client meetings and finished up a rather large article for St. Louis At Home Magazine that the hubs called 'the term paper'.

The bad news is now I've got another list of looming deadlines. You know when you've been working on something for a long time and you feel like you're in good shape, but then that thing that seemed like it was weeks away is suddenly around the corner and you feel totally unprepared? That would be me.

We are hosting my parent's 50th wedding anniversary party at my house next weekend (which is going to be awesome) and I suddenly feel very behind.

So please bear with me over the next few days as I might be a bit patchy with my posts. I promise tons of good DIYs and pretty pictures post party though, so it will be worth it. Cross my heart.

In the meantime, I've got two great deals you should check out.



My friend Mary Ann at classic. casual. home. is having a one of a kind giveaway and shopping opportunity for a great cause. Please go check it out - you will be able to help the widowed women of Uganda and find great jewelry all at the same time.
