I have decided that it was time I do a little decorating in my entryway.
What am I talking about? It isn't an entryway. It is a small little hallway that just so happens to have the front door at one end.
Right now it is sort of a beige color. I am pretty sure that it was painted with flat paint because it picks up every little sign of dirt and is just about impossible to clean off.
With 3 young kids, the walls are dirt magnets!!!
There is no current "design" or order/organization to this entry way at all!
The light fixture (chandelier) is over 10 years old. It is full of dust, dirt, and it is gold. I am not a fan of gold.... besides part of it is broken! It drives me crazy every time I look at it....
I found a few "replacement" fixtures that I like.
I think my favorite (in both looks and price) is this beauty.
I wish they had one with 4 lights instead of 3. There is a similar one that has 5 lights but it looks like a bit much for our small entry way. It would probably go better in a dinning room.
As far as design goes, I am torn between 3 ideas. Keep in mind that I don't have much room to work with.
The first is this...
I like that there is a lot of storage. You can even store your shoes under the bench. Everything has its place and it looks so nice a neat!
I would love to have a small table in the entryway that I can decorate as I please and change when ever I wanted.
This one is a bit boring. I would have to do something different... I mainly like the amount of hooks and that they are low enough that the kids would be able to hang their own backpacks and coats.
The first thing I would like to do is paint the entryway. I just really can not pick a color.
I would like a nice warm shade of green or burnt orange. Any ideas???
I can't wait to get started....
