The Entryway

The entryway of my home has always been a challenge for me.  For one, my house is a raised ranch so when you walk through the front door you walk right in to stairs. Second of all, I have a niche shelf that is very high and tall so it's really hard to find things that are the right scale.

So after four years of living here, I think I have finally found the look I want.  I did a gallery wall going all the way down the stairs. I just finished it yesterday and I think it turned out great. I used all black frames but in different sizes, materials, and designs.

In the niche, I put a vintage dress form dressed in a fabulous red and white toile dress, (of course, she's also wearing a vintage apron) a tall candle holder, and a cute sign. (I am not 100% convinced of the candle holder but I'm going to live with it for awhile.)






I would love to hear your thoughts or ideas...

Until tomorrow,
Kristy

    I have a neighbor who takes pictures of their kids every year. They then hang up the pictures on their wall. It's really cool to see how they mature year to year.

    Hi, I call myself a decoratoraholic as well. I actually just started a blog about a week ago. I am still trying to get it ironed out. A photo collage is always a great design idea. And.what better way to display photos of your family. Nice entry. By the way I am Trish from the decoratoraholic.
