Entry Room

More before and after pictures coming your way! Today will be the entry room. Much like the dining room, this space is way under used! However, since the couch is a pull-out couch, this area does act as our guest room when visitors come from out of town. Not ideal I know, but we really don't have out of town guests very often so it is sufficient. Otherwise, this room is just here to look purty. Okay, we do use it some, but not as much as I would like.

Here she is before: (wishing I had taken more pictures that day!)







Here she is now:


My coffee table was made by my dad...it is probably the sturdiest piece of furniture we own (which is helpful with a toddler that stands/jumps/rolls around on it when mom isn't looking:))! It is also one of my favorites! I will give more details about it when I do my room-by-room break down (which at this rate will be 5 years from now).












This secretary is another antique from Caleb's side of the family. Love me some antiques!!!


The secretary is actually part of both the entry room and the dining room which you will see in another picture.





The above table is right next to the front door...you can slightly see that it is between the windows and the front door. Eventually, I want to do some hooks etc. for sort of a mud room effect.



That angle you can see into the dining room...hopefully that kind of helps with understanding the layout.


And the last one was just for good measure!

Well, I hope you are enjoying my home so far. You will start to see that I do have a specific style (what would you call it?), but each room has a different "feel" from the others. This one I consider to be sort of "beachy". Would you agree?
