Entryway Before and After
See how a dark farmhouse entryway was transformed with paint, a stencil feature wall, and practical organization.
Let me give you a little entryway history. When we moved into our “Farmhouse by the Sea”, this is what it looked like.
We called the strange wall on the right the “jail cell wall”. (We removed it…)
The entire entryway and hall were wallpapered.
Actually, it still is. 4 layers of wallpaper, to be exact. I painted right over the top of it a few years ago. {Yes, it can be done. Just consult your paint store for the recommended primer. The proper primer is the key.}
After trying many (MANY) colors, I finally settled on White Down from Benjamin Moore.
It was ok, but I was looking for something a little brighter and cheerier on these gray, rainy winter days of the Wet West Coast.
I emptied the whole thing out and decided to do a feature wall with a stencil treatment on the top. Here it is now.
I can’t get over how much brighter it is.
Sources for this Entryway Makeover
- Bottom part of the wall color: Behr’s Polar Bear
- Stencil: Nagoya from Cutting Edge Stencils, stenciled in Polar Bear over top of the White Down background
- Curtain: Pillow Cover from Ikea (You can read how I made it here.)
- Round Mirror: from my basement storage room (initially, it came from Ikea)
- Tablecloth: Sewn from white cotton canvas (You can read more about it here.)
- Shoe Tray: Walmart
- Wall Art: Empty frame from Salvation Army thrift store and skeleton Key from my sister-in-law. It’s like the one that opened my childhood farm house. {You know I MUST have something sentimental in every room!}
- Fake Plant and Stand: Homesense
- Light: Home Depot (on clearance years ago. I’m so sad it was discontinued. I’d love to have some co-coordinating ones for my kitchen.)
- Bike on the wall: The most expensive gift my sister ever gave me…due to the exorbitant amount it cost to ship it to Canada!
Bigger fabricated many pipes to receive higher-finish cars and trucks.
Then you will need to prepare for the sale by washing and detailing your car.
Honestly speaking the certified pre-owned programs do have a lot of benefits for the manufacturer as well
as the dealer.
Hello! I’m at work browsing your blog from my new
iphone 4! Just wanted to say I love reading your blog and look forward

Except for the i – Phone 4, which will probably continue
to be sold as a low-end handset. Web pages render much quicker
as well and there is no lag or slowdown when loading
apps and navigating menus. Beginning today Apple has begun accepting orders for
unlocked GSM versions of the i – Phone 5S via the firm’s online store.
AT&T has been making great strides in service
quality tying and in some cases outstripping their rival.
Analysts and pundits were off the mark with that prediction, as instead Apple
chose to release the i – Phone 5C as a replacement for the i – Phone 5,
which in the past the company would have continued to sell at a $99 price point on contract.
Pay – Pal is used as the means of making the payments and after
you have paid, an download facility is provide to you instantly and
after this you will be facilitated by unlocking the iphone easily.
Sadly, not every registry cleaner software packages are actually good quality.
Thiss can be an inexpensive and easy waay to check iff you
like this progvram but iif it can be compatible for your computer.
For example whether or not this will only keep record off sales or rent,
commission, advances and deposits produced by the tenets and detail record of
furnished products in each property and just about anything that
could possibly be thrown at you in this business of property management.
