We live in an older home -- a home that I just found out has absolutely no insulation in any of the walls! Yikes -- you don't want to know about our utility bills in the summer and winter for this quaint, two-story home built in 1924 without any insulation whatsoever. So, to take my mind off the rather pricey cost of insulating (the house is brick so that makes insulating a little trickier and probably costlier!), I thought I would share with you my recent entryway re-do.
Do you love it? I do!! That striped cabinet makes me smile every day! Plus, more storage and . . . bonus -- the inside is painted a gorgeous aqua-blue which happens to be my and Maddy's fave color! Previously, I had a blah-looking table in the entryway that lived there for years and years. It was fine and functional (no storage though), but I really wanted something different for this little space. I tried zzzzing it up with a DIY-redo on a mirror. Do you remember how that turned out? Yep, DIY-disaster! Then I had to also replace the mirror! Oh bummer, more shopping!!
Though I didn't get a photo yet, there is an equally adorable little black bench across from the cabinet from none other than Hobby Lobs. I forgot Hobby Lobby even had furniture! Coworker and shopper extraordinaire Jodee (who frequently visits Hobby Lobs-do not tell Chef Daddy) reminded me and I just happened to find the bench last weekend! Bonus, it was on sale plus an additional discount due to a couple minor itty-bitty scratches. Love a good deal, don't you!
