Tackling the Entry Way

Recently I decided the entry way to our home needed a face lift.  For the past 6 years I’ve had a narrow card table covered with a table cloth and some seasonal decor on the top.  Sounds classy huh?

Well last month I decided my table had to go. 

This left me with a bare white wall. 

Nothing says “home sweet home” like a big empty wall of blah.

So, Friday night my dear friend and I painted the town red.  Or my entry “leather bond.”

I did a second coat on Saturday morning, but after further inspection, it’s been decided that it could use one more coat.  I was going to put off the post until I could give you a photo without the lovely blue tape borders, but we’re not there yet. 

 

I’m still not sure what to do with the space.  I’ve thought of perhaps getting a bench to put in there.  Though part of me likes the extra space as you come in the door and go up the stairs.  Sometimes the circus crew needs space, ya know?  And I am hesitant to give us something to deposit our junk on when we walk in the door. 

I’m toying with what to put on the wall.  My current thought is to go with a vinyl wall decor.  If I went this route, I don’t know what to choose….something sappy, a Bible verse, something silly, our name… any thoughts?  I’m stumped.

I am open to something else entirely, so if you see this wall and have a bright idea, or any idea really, of something, cheap   inexpensive that would make it look homey, please share your thoughts.
