Easy Entry Remodel

Awhile ago I decided I wanted our entryway to be a bit more useful, so I grabbed my Husband and went on a mission.

We found a fairly inexpensive shoe storage piece from Ikea and went from there. It was incredibly easy to install (although, I did not have to do the work).



I think this new piece of furniture is incredible practical for this space. I was sick of shoes getting piled up by our front door and frustrated with the lack of color in our entry way. This gives us a hidden home for our shoes as well as a place for me to put a few decorative pieces. Certainly more welcoming than muddle shoes and bare walls.

Here is the finished product:

We keep Chapstick, writing utensils, wallets, gum etc. in this top drawer. We no longer have a desk downstairs, so this drawer works to keep certain odds and ends at our fingertips.



 My pop of color. Anthropologie vases = amazing.



We keep winter-type clothing in the top drawer: mittens, hats, scarves, doggie sweaters, etc. And in the bottom we put shoes that get left downstairs - that way they are not cluttering our entryway.

Blue garbage can to use for umbrellas.
