Finished Space
I made a promise to myself that I would finish one space before the baby was born. Luckily, I’m not overly ambitious. I chose a wall. A single wall. Aiming high.
Said wall is the landing at the bottom of our stairs. Our front door opens up into the living room and I wanted some sort of spot to feel like the entry way. So about six feet away from the front door are stairs and the landing serves as our entryway.
Before…
I love how it turned out!
I got to use wallpaper for the first time and it was all I hoped for and more. I got the grasscloth here and I’m really impressed with it. The pink Blu Dot console table I purchased five years ago and saved up for months to buy it. It still is the furniture piece I would take with me in a fire. Can you imagine – my huge nine month pregnant belly, my toddler in one arm and the console table in the other? Priorities. The mirror is Serena and Lilly. The bowl was a gift from my parents about seven years ago; it’s from Gumps. The lamps are Jonathan Adler but were a New York City craigslist score about three and half years ago. The precious dog is from Home Goods.
Now, everyone can come over, ignore every single unfinished room and feast their eyes on my stair landing. Honestly, guests have been known to walk right by the landing and I have been known to turn them around and make them look at it. Don’t you wanna come over now?
Technically, it’s not completely finished; I’m on the hunt for the perfect white porcelain basket weave umbrella stand to put opposite the dog. A decorators job is never finished, I tell ya – even for a just a wall.
In other news, last week, I had mentioned that we would have our final pre-baby BBQ and my ideas for the tablescape. Well, on the day of, I was feeling very girly so I switched gears to pink; I’m thinking the girl we have arriving in about two and a half weeks has put pink on my brain. So, here is the little table I put together for a fun BBQ with friends…
