Adding Character to the ENTRYWAY..

I have always looked to my sisters to help me decorate, but i figured it is time to take matters into my own hands and make it my space. So here it goes, personalizing my home, one space at a time!
  This blasted entry way was so unwelcoming to me. It was down right bothersome. 
I live in a split entry home, and the entry leaves little to NO room to make it inviting. 
Forgive my camera and photography skills, they are not profesh.

Here is the wretched before~

Found a bunch of random thrift store frames!
 Paint the frames the desired colors you want. I chose turquoise, red, mustard yellow and black. 
And i turned one frame into a chalk board.
 All painted and found the layout i liked!
 
Found this Garage sale goody for 2 dolla!
" Dolla dolla bill yo!"

I made legs for it out of a 4x4 cut in two and screwed into the bottom of this gorg fab good.
Next I added Knickity knobs and did another coat of paint and distressed the crap out of it!
 
Finally i mod podged some cute turquoise paper on the inside, to finish my look! 

Added pics, kids art to personalize the space!
The finished RESULT! Sweet nancy drew she looks cute!
                         
I wish you could see the grand finale, but my wretch lil camera broke.
I painted the door stop to blend and added some fresh flowers and wicker balls.

  7. You have a postage stamp foyer, just like me. looks great. We actually had to empty ours because we are selling and we didn't want to emphasize how small it is. Good job.
