Our entryway might be one of my favorite rooms in the house! Is it a room? Do we call the entryway a room? It is definitely more than a hallway.

One of the favorite features is that wood paneling wall which is original to the home, as is the flooring and doors. Basically everything is original other than the dark grey wall.

Off of the entry way is the room where I meet with my photography and marketing clients. For this reason, having a space where people could hang their belongings or set their bags down was crucial. We do have ample closet space around the corner, but we have limits on the spaces that I take clients... and that hallway is one of them! Three hang-it-all (knockoffs) make a fun, low budget impact on this wall!

Originally, I had thought we would construct a built-in planter along the wall where the bench sits now. Many of the homes we looked at while house hunting had those fantastic built-in planters lined with snake plants. Alas, the tall planter from West Elm is what we purchased.

Basically everything in this space was on a budget... as I've said before, nearly gutting a home of this size means that we have had to make a big impact with as little hit to the wallet as possible.

The biggest change we made to the space was adding a skylight... it lets in the perfect amount of light!
