Front entry? What is that? It has been a long time since I have lived in a home with an entry.
This home is packed full of amenities that I am not used to, so you will have to bear with me on my excitement about not-so-exciting things.
In our previous apartment rentals, and our condo, the front door opened directly into the living room.
I longed for the day when I could have a real entry, and boy did I get one.
Now it is no dream entry, just the world’s longest hallway, but beggars can’t be chosers right?
But, wait a minute, in the world’s longest hallway there is a…built-in!
Could it be? A built-in just happens to be a first as well. Imagine that.
Although I already shared some of my plans for the living room/dining room with you, I think I will tackle the entry first.
It is screamin’ for some personality and I also need it work for us functionally.
We desperately need a place for us to store our shoes, and a comfy spot to put them on wouldn’t hurt as well.
It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out what I am going to do here, but I hope to make it darn pretty for as cheap as possible.
Between the windows will hang some DIY art that I am currently working on.
Just think of the word HELLO. Creative I know.
I am also on the hunt for the perfect fabric to create an upholstered bench. Think graphic.
Pillows and baskets are also a must.
And if I can find a really inexpensive rug, I just might snag that too!
So what do you think? Do you see the potential I do?
Also…
What a great entry! Can’t wait to see what you do with it-definitely has a lot of potential!
Exciting! Your entry has so much potential! I know it’s going to look amazing! If you need a cheap resource for foam, Home Depot sells 3″ camping pads for $20.
No way! Will be grabbing those for sure!
Total potential!!
Definetely! it will look great!
I love your entry way, even though it’s a long hallway, it really does have great potential, you should try looking at Ikea for some baskets and a rug. They have some really cool stuff and they are pretty cheap. Make sure you post when the entry is finished, it will be fun to see!

I do see the potential! Love the built-ins and I wish I’d have an entry way 😉
This is such a great space! Can’t wait to see what you do with it! XO, Aimee
