Since the post in January about resolutions, I have been anxious to get going on my #1 goal: Making the House a Home.
I'm starting at the front door, with the entryway. The room is long and narrow, and a little dark. The only light is from the overhead fixture, and the windows in the dining room.
The house-flipper-grade-brown tone is doing nothing to lighten this room up.
For the most part, the room is functional. There is a place to hang backpacks and keep things off the floor. But I know it could be better. More inviting and quite a bit brighter.
So I've thought of a few things to help, that won't also break my piggy bank. Because that's the size of my budget. Right now the home-making fund is at a whopping $150. I guess we'll see how far that goes, and I'll try to add to it as we go.
Here are some of my plans for the room.
1. Mirrors, to borrow some light from the adjacent dining room. Via
2. Board and Batten wall treatment. Via
3. More hooks! Via
4. A longer bench or side table. Via
5. Black interior door. Via
