DESIGN: Entry, please come on in.....


This weekend was amazing. 
The holiday was rocking and I was enjoying my new town!! The fireworks were popping and fizzing all day and night. The parade really rocked too! 

 Sunday I got up, ready to go.... I started a DIY project, inspired by Christina, Down and Out Chic.  She has been doing the most amazing DIY projects....I love her little white table with the wall covering/paper top! and her lampshades.  

   So, I started my own project and hope to post soon.  I found 5 dining chairs and decided to paint and re-upholster them to match my decor. Also, I went shopping a bought a 1950's bookshelf, thinking it would fit nicely in my entryway with a new lick of paint and a bright pop of colourful felt on the shelves to hold my shoes!  ugggg, it is to big!! 
                                                   so I went searching for some inspiration. And I still love this entry, found a similar table but it is already painted black, so I won't have to do a thing except pick it up from the antique shop.
  I just wish my entry was a bit bigger! *sigh* 

I do love the image above with the tartan hat hanging on the antler of the golden deer, and that table is stunning!
     Be on the look out after this weekend, I will be posting photos of some of my DIY projects and what I have done to parts of my house:)

How was your weekend? What fun projects have you been working on....

  6. loving the last one with all that blue! i have a very small entry way—very badly lit and cramped, so there is not much i can do with it. i hung a couple of pictures and a some coat hooks. it's the best i could do. :)

  8. Can't wait to see your projects! And don't you hate when a piece is too big to fit in your space? Makes me want to grab a sledge hammer and just 'open things up' a little bit!
