Make an Entrance

Since we've moved, one of the things I have missed

about our Dear Old House is the entry.

This is a picture of the entry, where Lauren

had planned on building a bench that the 3 large baskets would go under...

and this is what the bench would look similar to...

(Pottery Barn)

Our new cottage doesn't have an entry; instead,

as you come into the front door, there is a small area that

is supposed to be an entry of sorts, but really,

it is the living room.

Ahem, I don't have a picture of it; it's just too boring.

However,

Lauren is now planning on building that bench for this

new entry, and so we will have a nice perch to sit on

when pulling on boots. We also have an old mirror with hooks that we got from

Target years ago that we may hang above it.

I have been searching on Pinterest for a few entry ideas,

and I thought I'd share a few of my favorites.

This has been a popular one;

apparently, many of us have small entries...

This one is pretty and useful,

and I like the shelf with the pegs on it for

coats and baskets for mittens, mail or whatever is needed.

This would make a great back door entry...

and this is just plain adorable.!

Who wouldn't enjoy a sweet spot like this?
                                  

                                                         

I love the clean look of this entry...

as the door reminds me of our old porch door...

and so does this one from Pinterest!

This is a great back door entry...

and here are a few gorgeous front entries...

But hands down, this is my all-time favorite...

I love, love, love the French doors!
