Our entryway is fairly large, but it's pretty long and narrow. We chose this spot to display our family photo gallery wall as a conversation piece when visitors first enter our home. To keep it from becoming too busy, I try to keep the seasonal decor fairly simple.
A few gourds here, a pumpkin or two there.
This buffet was gifted to us by some dear friends who inherited it when a family member passed away. It wasn't their style, but they didn't want to sell it, so they generously passed it on to us. Now, it serves as our mail sorting station/dining room linen storage and helps to contain one small peak of the mountains of clutter we seem to accumulate.
Our gallery wall is a collection of family photos, art and architectural salvage. If you look closely, you can spot the bizarre light switch that controls roughly 3/4 of the lights in the house, as well as an indefinite number of outlets throughout the first floor for no apparent reason. (Fun fact: When we were buying our house and had it inspected, our home inspector said he'd never seen anything like our electrical system in his 25 years of experience. Awesome.) You can't find plate covers for our light switches anymore, but I'm working on a solution. Stay tuned for that one...
I love adding a natural pop of color, and I actually think a branch of bold autumn leaves is more beautiful than fresh flowers. Especially when displayed in a well-loved pair of wellies.
Thanks for stopping by!
