It’s a bit cold and dreary here in the bay, so I thought it would be the perfect day to share this bright and beautiful Doors and Gates series by photographer Donna Cleveland. These photos were taken in colorful San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, a gorgeous vacation destination I’ll be dreaming of all day.

I’ve been a long time fan and admirer of the work of Casa Midy founders Jorge Almanda and Anne-Marie Midy. Their objective of “combining contemporary design with traditional artisan methods of manufacture,” has created a large range of beautiful furniture and home accessory pieces. Beyond that, I love the interior design work they have done all over the world. Their work is a stunning example of  the evolution of traditional artisan work into the modern world. I hope to be able to visit their incredible showroom located in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico someday.
