Styling the entry

I don't know about you, but nothing has a permanent home in my house, it is all a revolving arrangement.  The other day Bethany and I played with my entry.  I plan on doing some sort of tone on tone stencil for a subtle pattern on the wall to dress it up a bit, but for now this was fun playing with accessories. Here are the many different looks of my entry:











Entries I am inspired by:


















                                                                 
                                                                      1/2/3/4/5/6


I see a pattern here... I like a bit more bold statement in the entry. I have a facing wall that has a large framed picture which is going to be switched out with a huge mirror of some kind. I absolutely love Sherry of Design Indulgence's look she did for a client here:


 I'm on the hunt, again.

  3. I love a dramatic entry too...I am so tempted to paint/stain my entry floor something dramatic...have done it before in other homes and I always love it! I just have to decide on exactly WHAT! I love that there are others out there that "play" with merchandising a space like I do...:)

  7. I love #3 of yours. As for the inspiration, I am obsessed with an all white entry with a splash of color from the rug and art.

  13. So much fun to play around with styling! I think I like your version with the manzanita branch, the art and orange vase the best, but they're all pretty. And your inspiration pics are pretty fabulous too!

  14. That paint color in your entry is beautiful. I'm with you on liking a bit of boldness. What better place to make a statement? Mine is a bit of a snooze and could use some boldness added. I can't wait to see what you do with the stencil!
