I feel the need to get organized and purge all the unnecessary junk around the house.
We cleaned out and organized Morgan's room a week or so ago. Now I am working on the space formally known as my living room.
I started with the "entry". The entry to our home consists of an 8 ft. long 5 ft wide platform or step. I am always at a loss as to what to do with it. I moved a piece of furniture to the entry to accommodate the Christmas tree and I think it is staying. Working with some items I already had I came up with something a little bit more appealing than blank wall.
So here you have it, my entry mini makeover.
BEFORE
Blank wall
AFTER (updated below)
Some thrift store frames and black spray paint and a new look.
I will probably change it a few more time before I am completely happy with it, but for now it is much better than the blank wall I started with.

UPDATE: Added a little color and height to the piece.
GOOD start! ENJOY your projects and a quiet home!

Looks great! My entry is a hot mess. Full of Stevies toys, I never open the door to people I go to the Garage to let people in, now that is saying something. Maybe I need to do a Entry makeover!
