Welcome Home

The Entryway - where it all begins! And here inlies one of my dilemas; I have one but barely. It is extremely narrow, at a whopping 3.5ft wide and it's also rather tall.

First step in any room is to determine it's function. We need a place to keep Rufio's food, leashes, treats and towels to dry him off on rainy days (this is Seattle after all). I also want a catch all area for items we need to remember to take with us, or a spot to leave the every day necessities; such as keys and a wallet. Lastly, I'd like to know what's in store for the day so I won't forget as I leave the apartment.

That being said, this is what I came up with:





Ok, ok, so I can't paint or add board and batten but a girl can dream can't she?

Here is my reality:

I put up some candid family photos to add color and personality

A day of the week chalkboard highlights the big events 


This storage cabinet holds everything we need for our little boy



And the tray helps keep the "un-forgettables" in one spot

Of course, no room is ever done but I'm happy with how it turned out while working with what we've got! What does your entryway look like?
