Before & After: Entryway

I’ve been wanting to make my entryway more inviting for a while now, but as I’ve had absolutely no budget to do so I had to get a little creative and shop the house!

Are you ready for my super amazing entrance, the first impression as you walk into my home??

SHAZAM!!

… I can tell you’re impressed and can’t wait to come in (if only to get out of the entrance quicker!)

As lovely as it is (cough), I really was hoping to create a slightly more welcoming entrance. The problem with this is the utter lack of room and that great hulking pillar that doesn’t seem to be contributing much (sure it may hold up the roof but still!) Having zilch to spend, I wandered my house and took bits and pieces from here and there to make it a little homelier…

Certainly a little more inviting and whilst not exactly ideal, it’s a definite improvement on a $0 budget!

I wonder if the fella would notice if that pillar just up and disappeared one day?

…

He might notice the roof caved in.

Just throwing this in for good measure. Once you start to shop the house, it becomes a little hard to stop. The wine rack and beach print has been replaced with my favourite mirror ever and a little extra bench seat.

Mind the dog on your way out. Lazy little mooch, I asked him to move but although those ears are perked, he chose not to hear me.

So overall, not a bad little makeover for what I already had on hand!
