Entryway + Office Makeover

Entryway + Office Makeover

We only have about 6 weeks left in our rental home, and leave it to me to wait till the last stretch to finally finish the entryway + office makeover. As you remember, we re-finished a flea market dresser, and I refinished this $3 desk to unify the two into one longer piece. We painted our walls grey, used a deep blue grey paint for the furniture, and gold finishes for the drawer pulls…

If I need time to unwind and de-stress, just ask me to style a shelf. It’s like a large scale puzzle for me to figure out, and I thoroughly enjoy the process! Instead of paying $30 for a small shelf, I found a good size board in Gabe’s wood stash and just picked up some bracket’s at Lowe’s, spray painted them gold, and $7 later had a better option for the wall space.  Here is the before pic of the dresser/work space! (I loved it white too.)

We keep the kids’ shoes, vinyl records, diapers, and mail in the entryway table drawers, which has been a saving grace to constant clutter by the front door. We will probably transport this set up to our next home. I’ve linked to where I found everything below, except all furniture pieces were flea market finds!

Now on to packing up the house for the next month. Send. Help.

    That picture of Mary is beautiful! I’ve never seen it before.
    I love the wall color. In some of the photos it almost looks like a really soft blue.
    Aren’t hanging shelves a glorious thing when you have little people around!?

  3. I love the new color!!!!! And mixing both pieces to make it look like one big piece…I am seriously loving it all!

    You’re just too brilliant! I love the colors you chose to paint them. These look like pages from a magazine!

  6. I understand the excitement, where I live now I am at a 5 minute walk from an American Apparel. I warn you, it can lead to excessive spending. I got the high waist leggings today and am in loveeee.
