Bold and Bright Entryway

February 23, 2013 by Ashley Mayes 10 Comments

Well, we’re finally calling the entryway done (for now). I seriously walk by the entryway and just smile. It is such a happy place. Grab a cup of coffee and let me show you our Bold and Bright Entryway.

You never quite appreciate the after until you see the before. So, I’m sharing a few “before” images before I give you the reveal.

BEFORE:

Hello, textured wall…

Unfortunately, the textured wall has to stay, but paint can make a huge difference in how it looks.

BEFORE:

PROGRESS:

We painted the walls and put up the mirrors. I actually really liked the mirrors, but the whole area was really boring.

I hung a canvas of Greyson on the back wall. I liked the size, but again, it was boring.

Next, we decided to do some nail art.

After painting stripes, hanging almost-free art, updating the chandelier, DIY artwork, painting the front door, reupholstering chairs, installing a DIY cat door, and adding a few decor items, we finally finished.

AFTER:

So, what do you think? It’s bold and bright, right?

Eventually, I’d love to make even more changes… like get rid of that nasty carpet on the stairs and even replace the stair railing, but I’m pleased with where we are at right now.

Oh, such a cool and hip transformation! I love all the little details but of course, you had me at “HELLO.” (Definitely pinning this–terrific job!)

Saw your entry over at Blogger Homes.The “hello” wall installation is really whimsical, which I love. The chairs are now modern and fun, and the stripes wake up that back wall. Great choices to make a dull space fun and exciting.
