When you walk in the front door, you see my $10 Goodwill Mirror, $15 Craigslist Dresser, & Entry Art.

Click here to learn how we dressed up the entry with chunky chair rail & wainscoting.

We added more chair rail & wainscoting in the upstairs hallway, along with a gallery wall of family photos. Right now, the pictures are black & white, color, & sepia. We made this gallery wall from framed pictures that came from various rooms in our old house, which explains why they are all different colors! I do plan on updating the pictures & changing them over to all sepia in the near future!

From the upstairs looking down, you can see the Canela Tree, Black Front Door, Coat Hook, Bench, & Painted Rug.

Wow! It looks stunning. YOur layout is almost the same as mine too. I can see through your pics how nice our floor will look when finished. I don't blame you for taking a break, it looks finished right now. I wasn't going to take my wainscoting up the stairs but I see from yours how gorgeous it looks so I might now! thanks for sharing, you have given me the motivation to keep moving on it all. We're starting to flag now, lol. Take care, Sally xxx
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the upcoming arrival of your little girl! You are going to enjoy it so much. I love your entry and stairs. Especially, the dresser and mirror. It looks great! I hope to do a gallery wall someday.
ReplyDeleteIt looks AWESOME! I love all of the wainscoting. You did a fabulous job. I love our hardwood, I do, but sometimes I dream of having tile like yours--it is so much easier to clean. I cannot keep our wood floors clean, and our entry way has lots of natural light--you see every piece and dirt and smudge. Learn from me, don't put in dark hardwood! :D
ReplyDeleteIt is just beautiful Wendy!! I totally want to do something like this in my entry and you are inspiring me to get to it. :-) Can't wait to see the tutorial! Thanks for sharing it at Inspiration Friday~

It looks really great. I especially love that dresser. I will have to check that post out next. I love your color scheme too. Feminine but not too girly!
ReplyDeleteThe after is so nice! Love that striped rug!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty foyer! Fabulous job, thanks for linking up!

Fantastic! I love the wainscoting that you added, and had to smile when I saw the photos of the doors, because I took some photos just like the, and am planning on framing them up in my house. :-). Great minds, right?
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up to my first Room Evolution party! Look forward to seeing more!
I’m sorry it took me so long to get to your « Impossibility Challenge » post – this thing called “work” got in the way! But I’m here now and it’s great to read about your entry hall makeover. It's a lovely space and it looks really welcoming now. I love the gallery art and the wainscot. What a great job!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on making your impossibility possible!
