A la Maison: The Entryway!

After taking a cue from a good friend of mine, I decided to gussy up our entryway. I find that I am constantly wanting the decor in our home to be a reflection of us and I think the entryway is well on its way! Our entry wall is tricky because it has two light switch plates (one of which contains three switches) and our alarm keypad. Makes it a little tricky to maneuver around when it comes to hanging things! I ended up just covering one of the light plates with a picture after unsuccessfully trying to remove it (we have no idea what that switch goes to, how sad is that!) and I think it all came together!


Ta-da!



The framed "5" is probably my favorite thing in the collage. Next to the picture, of course. ;) I'm sure the collage will grow taller as we find things to add. For now, it's a good start!



 The teal table was a find at TJ Maxx and I love it. The shape, the color, it's perfect for the space!


The next step will be to paint the inside of the front door a fun color. It's on my very long home decor to-do list ... :)

There you have it! A peek at my entryway!

Have a lovely day.

    1. Thank you, Keely, you're sweet! The Favorite Of All Time print is actually from Mardel, of all places! I found it there on sale a few months ago.

    1. Thank you for letting me copy your coolness, Katie! :) Isn't the chandelier fun?? The people who built our house were kind of obsessed with recessed lighting, which is fine for the most part, except there was recessed lighting EVERYWHERE, including the entryway. We bought this chandelier when we bought the chandelier in our dining room. Both are from Lowe's. :) I love the sparkle with the bright colors of the table and frames. Keeps it from being too old lady-ish, ha. :)

  3. I've loved watching your house become YOUR house, and it reflects your sweet fam perfectly! Loving the pops of color, and I might just tuck that cute table into my bag the next time we are there. SO cute!!

  4. Thank you, friend! Goodness knows you've inspired most of my house! If my table is gone after our next play group, I'll know why, ha!! Hey, we're good at trading furniture ... :)
