Who knew so much could change in just an entry hall?! This has actually turned out to be one of my favorite spaces so far. Just like the others, I still have a couple things to finish off the decorating and maybe will add a bench or something eventually, but for now, I'm loving it!
This is the original look. White tile, old and extremely dusty light fixture, nasty carpet on stairs, dust encrusted baseboards, and almost a white on the walls.
View straight on from the front door looking into the living room.
Ray and Grant ripped that white tile out! Ew!
Carpet ripped out in the living room - Our Rams chair went everywhere in the house! It was our only seating for awhile :)
Prepping for the tile
Paint on the walls, carpet ripped out on the stairs, and tile starting to go down!
New carpet on the stairs and the entire upstairs! Love it!
Tile is finished! We saw the tile first at Lowe's, but it was WAY out of our price range. Grant, being the money saver that he is, looked online and found it for over $1.20/sq ft cheaper! We took that to Lowe's and they price matched! We saved a couple of thousand by doing that, because we had about 800 sq feet of tile throughout the whole house.
Entry looking to the right into the kitchen. P.S. That's not our kitchen table - haha - that table is in the corner in our living room now, and this picture was taken before our new table and chairs came in. That door is just a small coat closer. We changed out all of the knobs from the brass to the bronze as well.
After new tile, new paint, new baseboards, new carpet, new light fixture, and some new décor...The new entryway!!
When we first viewed the space, the previous owners had this huge buffet piece right here. It is kind of an awkward space, that definitely needed something, so I went with this chalkboard dresser from Hobby Lobby and ordered the poster from a pin I had on Pinterest for years!
LOVE our M wall! I have been collecting M's since I came up with this idea a few months ago. Most of them came from either Hobby Lobby or Etsy, but I have picked them up from everywhere!
Several of these I bought from Etsy unpainted. They are way cheaper that way! I then bought some paint at Hobby Lobby and just played around! Most of the frames came from the Nashville flea market. We bargained for about 8 frames (without glass) in the colors that I wanted for about $10!
I've got a couple more to add to fill in a few spaces and places that I couldn't reach, but it's pretty much done!
View from the front door into the living room now! Living room tour coming soon!
Entry way before and after...
