Coastal Entryway

Maybe it's the summer weather but I've been really into the casual coastal style lately.  I decided to re-style from my front entry cabinet to incorporate that coastal style I've been loving.

Of course I forgot to take a photo of the before but really there wasn't much going on but two turquoise lamps and a tray to collect keys and other junk.

The console table is the Reflections Three-Piece Cabinet Set from Home Decorators.  It was one of the first pieces of furniture I bought when we moved over 3 years ago and it is still one of my favorites.

The glass lamp with textured shade was perfect for the casual look I wanted.  We needed something to catch the keys and other "stuff" that my husband likes to drop on his way in the door and the gold dipped bowl was perfect for it.

I found these glass bottles at Homegoods as well as the silver thing- I'm not sure really what to call it?  The bottles reminded me of sea glass.

The new artwork was painted by your's truly!  I bought a large canvas at Michael's one wild Friday night as well as some paints and a brush and went nuts.  I had found a few Abstract paintings I liked on Pinterest and kept my iPad open to them as I painted.  It was a pretty relaxing thing to do and super easy!

Get the Look: Entryway

This image has been pinned and repinned a zillion time on Pinterest... so much so that I couldn't find the original source! (please let me know if you know the source)  I think the reason it works so well is the neutral palette, simple accessories and the layer of textures. It's all about the texture!  Notice the rustic metal table is offset by the soft throw, the natural straw basket, the softness of the flowers and then the clean modern look of the lamp.  With a little digging I found some affordable pieces to recreate this look.

E-Design Client: Entryway

 Everyone loves a good before and after!  Here is an e-design I did for a client that was looking to add a cabinet with some storage to her entryway.  She simply wanted to add furniture and artwork without changing any of the paint colors.  It always helps when you are starting with a beautiful space!

She wanted a calm, soft entryway and we came up with the design below.  A cabinet that would provide some storage and a really soft abstract painting.

And here's what the entryway looks like today! A few small changes made a big impact!
