Last week I showed you the plans for our entry way and over the weekend I was
able to knock a few things off the entry to-do list. To re-cap, here’s what we had on
our entry wish list:
- Create storage for coats, jackets, bags - hooks? Slim wall mounted shoe storage - like this?
- Add board & batten? Picture frame trim/molding?
- Paint interior of front door & add decorative trim
- Add art
- Install flush mount fixture
- Find a vintage runner
It
feels good to start putting things back together even if it is only a small
section of the house. Having a functional entry will go a long way to make our
beginning and end of day routines run just a little bit smoother even while the
rest of the house is still “under construction”.
One
of the biggest changes to the entry will undoubtedly be the addition of a new
light fixture. After paint, lighting is an easy (and affordable) way to transform
any space. It’s like wearing yoga pants with your hair in a messy bun and then
you throw on a pair of earrings, put on a little mascara, and suddenly it looks
like you’ve got your life together.
And
I want to feel like I have my life together. Don’t you?
Since
our ceiling drops down a bit in the entry, I knew that we had to stick to a
flush mount or semi-flush mount fixture that wasn’t too wide. The door swings
inward so I couldn’t have anything that hung too low or the door would destroy
it. Once I knew what we needed, the browsing began!
You
guys! There are SO. MANY. OPTIONS. So many! Affordable ones too!! I literally
couldn’t stop looking at fixtures. I was/am obsessed. It made choosing a
fixture for our entry so, so hard! And guess what?! I’m still not sure what
fixture will be there come reveal day. #spoileralert: it’s not the one you saw
on the design board.
But!! I know you didn’t come here to listen to
me ramble on about fixtures (or did you?). Lucky for you, I did all the hard
work and am sharing ALL my favorite flush mount and semi-flush mount fixtures
with you today! There’s 36 gorgeous fixtures all under $300 for your viewing pleasure! Without further adieu...
