Entryway Beauty

Good Morning!

Hope everyone's Holiday was filled with joy and family.  I know mine was and I feel extremely blessed.

We have entered into a new year and it got me thinking about entryways.

Your entryway is like the appetizer for your home - it makes you anticipate the main course.  It's one of the first areas where you can take risk and add interest to your space.

Love the use of green here.  It is right on trend with Pantone's color of the year.

Small entry use a lucite console table and neutral colors to make the space appear larger but keeping the function.

Organization with the wow factor..

So, what kind of entryway are you creating?  In your outlook on this brand new year? and in your home?

Demolition..Gotta Love It

How is everyone?  It has been awhile.  I have been working on the Byron Forest Preserve remodel and things are coming along.  You can see the before pics and read about the project here.

One of the best parts of the transformation is the demolition.  It gives a sneak peek into what the final product will be.  This is the entry..

 Walls were removed.  No more "Burger King" tile..that's what my husband calls it.  Btw..I have "Burger King" tile in my kitchen.  I will rejoice the day that is gone.  Ok, I need to focus ; )

 Through the entryway.  Columns were stripped down and they will be wrapped with cedar.

 Hallway to restrooms.

 Receptionist area..

I can not wait for the finished product.  I am like a kid in the candy store : )

BTW...

I have had my family here for the past week and it has been so awesome.  They came at a great time and were able to be here for my son's birthday.  Hope you all have a wonderful weekend.
