The New Entry

It’s time to show how the entry way looks now after the new paint and with everything back up on the walls, so come on in!

All of the accessories are pretty much the same, but the only new addition is that round mirror hanging on that little wall above. It’s my new favorite thing. When my husband first saw it hung up, he acted like he was throwing darts at it.  Men. No comment on that one because I think it’s pretty great. :)

Fingerprints and all. :)

The stairs.

That little hallway to the right also got the new flooring.  We kept the tile in the extended entry because it’s perfectly good tile and would have been quite an expense to rip it all up.  Plus I don’t have to worry about people coming in the front door with wet feet. :) We may rip it up one day, but we aren’t in any hurry.

Here’s the spring entry table.

It has our piece from Modern Bird Studios on it now, and that glass dome I ordered from Willow House.  Love it!

And some more…

And you know this post wouldn’t be complete without a before picture, so here’s the best one I could find.

And after.

Can I get an amen for light neutral walls please?  Amen!

And yes, I’d like to get different rugs eventually too that are a little more updated for the entry, but that isn’t on my top to-do list right now because these don’t look bad or anything.  It just could be a little more enhanced. :)

You like the new look?  I can’t get over the difference when I look back at old pictures.  It feels like a brand new house again, but just feels right now.

I’ll add this post to the “Our Home” tab as well, and I am also working on a Paint Colors tab so those are easier to find too.

    Emily ~ your reveal is simply gor-jus! I totally ? your round mirror. I know my boys would be all over that with Nerf darts in a jiffy.
    Thanks for all the inspiration I can handle for one morning!

    It’s clean, smart, and beautiful! I love what neutral colors can do for a space. You can appreciate all the pretty accessories without the distraction of bright color. And it’s easier to rotate items around the house with a neutral backdrop. Way to go!

    Awesomeness! I love it all! I thought your colors before were very neutral, but the change is huge. You have such a way with decorating, I’m so impressed!

  18. Megan says

    I really like the new look! It’s great how you’ve added all those special touches that make it “home”. And those long drapes are just awesome!

    WOW! Emily! It looks so great! SO GREAT! Ya know, I can TOTALLY picture Randy doing that. It’s EXACTLY what he would do! I should know, I’m married to his goofy younger twin!!! HAHA! :)

    Loving your blog. My mom went a repainted her house white, and lighter colors after I got married. Talk about a near culture shock when you grew up surrounded by dark, bold color! But it has grown on me so much, the clean, light, roomy feel it brings. Now I am debating a “life change”, going from dark to light!

    I am a new follower, and I hope to see you more often!

    Hello from Malaysia!!! I came across your blog thru The Shabby Nest. Well, both of the big round mirror look so beautiful to me… If me, I may save the big sunburst mirror for some other wall which it can be a great focus point. Anyway, love the whole makeover…everything look so harmony together!

    Beautiful! We just redid our entry way and stairs (which led to renovating an entire room too – isn’t that always the way?) I know how relieved I was to finish that project, as I’m sure you were! Your entry turned out lovely :)

  47. Olga says

    Great before and after! Your entryway looks very welcoming and that mirror is perfect for that space. Visiting from thrifty decor chick.

    I spotted your blue trellis pattern rug in the back ground of your living room and was wondering where you got it. Exactly what I’m looking for.

    Thank you,
    Traci

    LOVE it. Just recently found your blog. Where sis you get the welcome “sticker” on your front door?

  50. Connie says

    Your entryway table and fall decorations really caught my eye. I love everything about them and would like to duplicate it as much as possible starting with the furniture. Can you share where you bought the table?
