The Home Tour: Entryway

A few of you have been asking for a home tour to see updates as things progress around here on the decorating front, since we've moved in.

As most of you know, something in our house is always changing- things getting moved around, repurposed, painted.  We still have a ton to do but let's start off in the first room you see when you walk in, as things stand today:)

The Entryway:

What better way to begin than with the obligatory "Doodle in the window picture"...


Much to my husband's dismay, this is the future site of our homes first wallpaper installation.  He told me I could put wallpaper up but I could never take it down.  Sold.  I better select carefully:)




One of the things I absolutely love about this house is the chandeliers.  They were here when we moved in and they will be here when we move out.


Putting together little vignettes is one of my favorite parts of decorating...


You can display all of your meaningful (read random) pieces in one place for all to see.  


Ry hung the feather over the door for me...


The curtains are handmade, pure silk and were free.  My Mother's boss was going to throw them away and luckily my mom nabbed them with me in mind.  Thanks Mom!


The distressed Victorian Chair was a score from one of my all time favorite haunts- "The Painted Lady".  


One of the first projects I wanted to complete when we moved in was to hang all of our wedding photos going up the stairs.  I finally had a dramatic staircase and hot damn I was going to use it.  
Bill graciously (and patiently) hung them up for me.
