Over the weekend I decided to show my entryway a little love. This space was in desperate need of a design intervention. Here's what it looked like before:
I know...super sad right? No exaggeration that's exactly what it looked like for months. I mean nothing about this space made a good first impression of our home or welcomed guests in, but a bit of paint and some reinventing of furniture gave it a whole new look.
I've been really really wanting to incorporate stripes into our home somewhere so I figured the entryway would be the perfect place. I was always incredibly intimidated and scared to try them because of our textured walls, but Jennifer's tutorial gave me the extra confidence I needed. It was actually much easier than I thought.
The Ikea console table got a new look with the help of white spray paint and some super inexpensive brackets I picked up at Home Depot. My girl Kristen shared how she used them and I just HAD to have some after that.
I just adore campaign furniture, and these brackets are an easy way to give any piece the look for less!
Im also completely smitten with my new art work. Stay tuned this week for more details and a giveaway for a custom piece of your very own. You won't want to miss it!
Just for giggles, I decided I would style the space another way, too. Here's what I came up with:
Naomi is so NOT gonna let me keep this mirror gold so its getting a fresh coat of another color soon, but I thought I would have some fun in the meantime.
This space is still a little bit of a work in progress and I know Ill end up doing a few more tweeks to it before I call it done. Id also really love to find a bench or set of stools for underneath the console. Even with the few things Id still like to do, this space is a major improvement from the before. At least I feel like we are ready for the entertaining season. Its fast approaching.
So have you made any changes to your entry lately? Until next time...

ReplyDeleteAh! I love love love it! My favorite is that console turned campaign piece! I've been dying to add or find a piece like that to our house. It just doesn't go with what we have right now but I will find a way. I think number two is my favorite. I loves the gold :(
ReplyDeleteWhat?!?! Is Naomi a gold hater?? The horror! ;) I love both ways! I totally adore this - the table makeover is great and that artwork is seriously gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI love it! The campaign piece looks amazing and I love both styles, but the second is my favorite.

ReplyDeleteHoney, I'm in love with it all! Please tell Naomi that I'm sorry that the gold-lovers train pulled off without her, but she should try to catch the next one!!! Lol! Loving the second styling btw.
