B & A Entry Wall

So after moving and renovating and decorating for a few weeks, it's time to take a break and show you all how the new house is coming along.  Here are some before and after photos from the entry…

Before

 

 After- We refinished the light oak floors to a dark walnut, removed the chrome light fixtures, which I plan on replacing with new light fixtures someday, but for now, my lamp provides adequate lighting for the entry.

After…

 I love that you can look from the front door out the back windows and doors and onto our backyard and the water…I think this gives the home a nice open, sunny feel.

 Beau feels right at home in the new cottage!  His favorite spot is right by the front door watching the world go by and waiting for Greg to come home.

 I used my skirted table with mirrored top here, since it is adjacent to the dining room and it is filled with all my scrapbook/crafting supplies.  I am having a new custom skirt made that will look nicer.

Our vintage sailboat artwork, lamp, a few hurricane vases, and some tall branches finish off the entry table giving it a welcoming, coastal feel.  I love having a large table like this that can be changed seasonally in the entry and look forward to updating it regularly…like in a week or so for Christmas!
