The Difference a Light Makes – Entryway Progresss

Tweet

Slowly but surely, I’m making progress towards putting the finishing touches on my house.  My latest focus has been on the entryway — after all, it’s the first room that people walk into when they visit our home.  So, I want it to be welcoming, but also functional. This is where we started — I actually made a video and put it on my now abandoned tumblr almost two years ago.  Check that out here.  Since then, we’ve painted, added a rug and some furniture and just this week, changed the lighting.  I actually pinned this Uttermost drum pendant on Pinterest quite a while ago and was lucky to find it at a discounted price at a local lighting store.

Here is the lighting before and after.

I love lighting, and I think it makes such a huge difference in a room.  Still, there are quite a few things left to do in the foyer before I consider it finished.

Here is my running list:

Entryway Progress:

• Paint — Benjamin Moore Stone Hearth
• Add sturdy rug — West Elm Boucle Jute Rug
• Add shoe bench
• Add coat rack
• Change out console table for colored one (something like this)
• Change lighting
• Add photo gallery
• Change window dressings
