Ours has been ruffling my feathers since we moved in two years ago. We started with a leaning mirror or two and I really just didn't love that it wasn't put together, cohesive or functional. Also, it lacked the pizazz I felt the spaces around it had so I got to work and started brainstorming ways to make the space fit our small awkward space and still pack a punch when it came to personality. 

First things first, the wallpaper! 

For me, an entryway needs to make a statement upon arrival so I tapped my friends at Limitless Walls to help me create a custom design for the space. We color matched my Clare paint colors Baby Soft and Rose Season to make the perfect statement with the groovy lines running up and down the wall. To say I'm obsessed with how it came out is an understatement. 

Next, the storage and furniture! 

I've been wanting a sideboard for what seems like forever and this Castlery "Almo" sleek mid-century shape was the perfect fit for making this long empty fall feel more functional. AND it has so much storage. We also wanted to incorporate my sassy fringe mirror and pink rattan velvet chair for tone on tone color pops. I borrowed one of my Julian teal velvet ottomans from the living room and it looks perfect in-front of the mirror for a little spot for easy shoes on and off. 

We also needed a little extra storage at the narrowest part of our entry so we opted for a more compact shoe cabinet & hanging wall basket catch all (which is arguably one of my favorite details). 

And Finally, the details!

The paint chip Annie Selke runner brings everything together and make all the colors pop. I'm obsessed and want to put it every where, would that be too much? We also snagged a smaller version for the doorway. 

Styling the sideboard and the shoe cabinet was of obviously the easiest of all the tasks and I can't get over how everything just came together with stuff I already had. 

Our Gantri Gio Task Light was subtle yet added a warm retro glow. I layered in some (borrowed from other rooms) leaning art because I'm indecisive and still haven't found the perfect fits for the area but secretly love these together. Plants, candles and bowls finished things off and I'm pretty close to saying we're finally done. 

Now we just need to decide on a bold door color for the front door and perhaps I'll be settled enough to leave this area alone for awhile..
