Entrance

This is the first thing you see when you enter our house. A little space to sit and take off your shoes, a spot to hang your keys or bag, storage for hats/mitts/umbrellas, and a place to drop mail.

We love this little area - in addition to being super functional, it's also very sentimental. Both the chair and the needlepoint belonged to the boyfriend's grandmother and the mirror hung over my family's fireplace for years.

I love decorating with pieces that have meaning. If looking at something makes you happy or reminds you of a great memory - DO it. There's always a way to make things work.

Luckily for us, the family heirlooms we wanted to use were gorgeous in their own right, making our job much easier!

It's just a little corner of our home, but a very happy one.
