This is the space our feet first landed once our realtor opened the front door…
“This floor has to GO!” If I recall, was the first phrase that left our mouths. Who would have thought that that very orange tile still exists in our home?! Beyond the cosmetic changes we knew we would like to tackle, we saw only the positives. A large entry way. In our first home, we had a tiny entryway that we adored. It is such a plus an area, big or small, that you can step into when entering your front door that is not directly stepping into a living space. Our entry way has a darling, well-loved railing, and a large closet for storage. It checked all of our boxes, and the space that greets all of our friends and family as they enter our home.
Take a look at what we have transformed this space into!
Wall Color: Aloof Gray by Sherwin Williams (color matched to Behr paint) It is a soft, moody gray that changes throughout the day. Sometimes it looks clear gray, others it has a sage green undertone. But, I love that about this paint color. It adapts to whatever furniture and accents we throw at it!
Want to shop this space? Here are a few of the key pieces …
Our bench is currently sold out, but if I am being honest I LOVE these two options much more!
Tufted Bench : Leather Tufted Bench
Gray Runner : Another Beautiful Option
I struck gold with my black planter at Home Goods one day, and I searched high and low for a copy cat with zero luck! However! Best advice I can give when you are using planters to swap the place of what once was furniture, is make sure the pot, regardless of color has texture! It’ll make all difference! Here are a few awesome black planters I have my eyes on, for you!
Black Planters : White Planter
These metal stools from five below make the perfect plant stand!
My pillows are sold out! Which does not surprise me, seeing I snagged them for $7 a pop on clearance – you can find them on Ebay!
One of my all time favorite projects – numbering the stairs! It has become a topic of conversation for anyone new that comes over, and has stood the test of time! These are what we used!
Don’t have an entryway? No need to fret! There are amazing ways to utilize the space you have, and carve out a little drop off space within your home! Take a look!
