Entryway Table

I'm slowly getting our entryway to a look that I don't hate. The walls are TBD, as we have an open floor plan, so whatever I do would need to flow throughout three rooms. Maybe someday I can wallpaper it or paint it super cool. (No more green paint, though. I promise.)

The wall (seen near the crawling kid) was empty for the first few months that we lived here.

In September, I purchased a dresser on Craig's List to use as an entryway table to store mail, etc. (I practically bought this from under another buyer's feet!)

The accessories took awhile. I received a mirror from CB2 from my in-laws for Christmas. I love it.

I kept our favorite wedding photo on display and added some other FREE prints that I received.

This "May All Beings Be At Ease" print was a surprise that arrived with some others that I purchased from etsy seller lot 9 press. It's the perfect message to greet guests as they walk in the door. The frame, which is way too big, is from CB2.

I received this cool Sears Willis Tower letterpress print (by Sesame Letterpress) and the accompanying frame for free when I purchased a something on the opening weekend of the Chicago west elm store.

My Chinese Laterns from the "during" photo had seen better days, so I swapped them out for some billy balls. I'm planning on picking a few more up to fill out this vase. (Billy Balls are $$$!)

And, finally, this little snack bowl from CB2 makes a great key bowl.

My pretty antique bowl doesn't really fit in here, but I just can't get myself to put it back in storage. One bad thing about having an open floor plan is a lack of surfaces on which to rest pretty things.
