Front Entryway Makeover

January 18, 2017

Before Photo Entryway

As you can see from the photo above our entryway was out of control!  Heaven forbid you came home after a couple glasses of wine, you’d most likely end up tripping and fall on the floor, no, that never happened to me…  Out of my love for design, or perhaps frustration, I set out to makeover our entryway.  As always I was on a budget!  I sold the antique table in the picture for $30 to fund this project.

Front Entryway Makeover

After!  No more shoes, well those are props!  I found this storage ottoman for $4 at the thrift store and totally revamped it.  DIY to come next week.  We had extra wood from the growler project and made the key hooks.  I couldn’t be happier.

DIY Key Hook

This DIY key hook was super simple and only took a few minutes, once the wood was stained, to put together.  DIY to come later this month.  Can you believe this only cost $5 to make!

Upcycled Ottoman

Is it possible to be in love with tassels?  These were really fun to make and a great evening project while listening to music or watching a bad TV show.

DIY Ottoman Storage

Storage ottoman to the rescue!  I can put my purse, work bag, the coin jar and any other pieces that are left around inside the ottoman in a few seconds!  An easy way to keep the entryway tidy.

Obviously the blanket scarves need separate storage!  That’s a given.  I liked the contrast of the black ottoman with the beige metal basket.

I can’t wait to come home now and not worry about tripping hazards!
