If you read my blog regularly (which is more than I can say about my posting habits lately), you know that I am in a constant state of changing up our entryway and living room.
The entryway has gone from this to this with an entryway bench (and lots of unphotographed stuff in between) to, currently, this:
My 7-year-old daughter loves the zebra chair here. It's pretty bold, but I'm going to be honest...I don't hate it, either. The blue striped pillow doesn't seem quite right for it, but I'll figure out something.
The old entryway table got a glossy red facelift. I loved the dipped legs from before, but the green was just too dark and heavy for this space.
L.O.V.E. the table now. Hello, my name is Brittney, and I like shiny stuff. And that bike-centered print from 20x200. (That site has been under construction forEVer, has anyone noticed? I miss it.)
The table needs a slender gourd-like lamp, I think. And I'm still looking for cane-handled umbrellas, but I think that's something that will present itself to me when I least expect it. (Does it count that I chant to myself, "I don't expect to find a cane-handled umbrella...I don't expect to find a cane-handled umbrella" at least once a week?)
I also spray painted the shoe basket a cheerful sky blue...which is filled with only mine and my daughter's shoes. Because we're female, that's why.
Is anyone else a fan of Georgia O'Keefe's art? I love an awful lot of it. I cut these prints out of my large art book of hers and framed them simply.
Welp. That's where we're at...for now. It's a little heavy on the right angles currently, but I really truly love the colorful cheeriness of the space. Think I'll stick with this arrangement for awhile with only minor tweaks here and there.

Really pretty table makeover! I think the zebra chair looks great, maybe with a bright pillow to compliment the table? Love it.
ReplyDeleteLove your space and your red table! And your daughter is right, that zebra chair is pretty awesome!
