Sprucing up our Front Entry

I’d been mulling around this idea of bringing a little color to our front entryway:

(please excuse the dark Instagram stories screen shot –  I forgot to take a good before pic with my camera). Plain, simple… just sort of, ho-hum.  So what’s a blogger to do?  Off to the paint cabinet I went.  I tested a few options out on the door before painting and finally decided on Sherwin Williams Slate Tile:

Yes, we’re getting there – and now for a little style.  A few weeks ago I’d picked up a storage bench that conveniently fit perfectly in the space to the left of the door:

I gave it a good sanding, brought the seat all the way down to the raw wood, and then stained it.  The rest of the piece got a few coats of satin black spray paint.  Then I shopped the house and brought in a large clock I DIYed a few years ago, some mums, a few throw pillows a scarf and….

Yes, a little color was just what the doctor ordered:

Thanks for popping in today! I hope this little makeover has inspired you to bring a little color into your life!

  1. So pretty, love it! Your door is a similar color to the one I use to paint the inside of our entry doors…I love how painting the inside of your door can totally change the look and feel of the entry way! Love the bench, and the black is perfect!
    Enjoy your weekend! Hugs, Kimberley

    1. Hi Kimberley! Thank you so much I’m so glad you like it and I couldn’t agree more about how a color on an interior door can really change everything! Hope all is well!
