One area of our house that I’ve been stumped on is our entryway. It’s not very big, but after C did the shiplap a few years ago (which I LOVE!), I just haven’t been able to find out what would work for us as a fam. For a while, it looked like this (below), and while I thought it was cute, there was something always kind of off about it.
About a month ago, we went shopping for a new couch (which I can’t wait to share!) and the room had to undergo another change since the couch is so large, we needed to get rid of our electric fireplace. On it, held my fave mirror and a couple of odds and ends I really didn’t want to part with.
I figured I could clear the space in our entryway and listed the bench and the other decor pieces on FB Marketplace one morning and had them gone by lunch time.
I found attainable, tall table on Amazon. There are sooo many great tall console tables out there, but most cost an arm and a leg. I’m so impressed with quality of this one for the price. I made sure to measure before buying. I wanted to make sure it wouldn’t be too long and so we could still open the door and it wouldn’t stick out too far. I could totally picture the mirror sitting in the middle of it with a couple of those other items that sat on top of the fireplace.
The candles are faux/battery operated – but they look SO realistic! They flicker and come with a remote and are definitely worth the price. The whole fam loves them and we love how they look at night time in our home.
I also thought it would be so much fun to decorate it for the holidays too. Stay tuned for how I’m going to deck it out for Halloween!! I’m thinking I might use it to hold our stockings this year, since we no longer have that fireplace and our family room has limited wall space as well.
