The Entryway Gallery Wall
My entryway and I have spent the past 6 years trying to understand each other. She’s a teeny tiny thing, but oh, so hard to figure out. It’s been a rocky road at times…
I first found her to be cold and claustrophobic.
After many tries at trying to find the perfect color for her, she seemed quite at peace in White Down by Benjamin Moore.
But, in winter time, she still seemed a little moody and grumpy, so a fresh stencilled wall treatment was applied.
That seemed to perk her right up and made such a happy feature wall. The problem was, the view walking in from the door was still lacking.
She seemed a bit, well, boring and stuck up. I knew deep down in her heart, she really didn’t want to be. She wanted to be happy and welcoming and full of life…and just a wee bit GRAND.
So out came the paints and some wood pieces {from a carpenter’s garbage bin!!}. Here she is now:
She seems, so, so much happier now!
The colors and pictures and textures and words are meant to reflect those of us who live here…
I found this project to be an absolute hoot to do…
I’ll be back next week to give a few tutorials and details.

Greetings! I know this is somewhat off topic but I was wondering which blog platform
are you using for this site? I’m getting fed up of
Wordpress because I’ve had problems with hackers and I’m looking at options
for another platform. I would be awesome if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.
This piece of writing presents clear idea in favor of the new viewers of blogging,
that truly how to do blogging.
I love your gallery wall and would love for you to link it up at the Pin It party! It’s really gorgeous.
