This is a harder challenge than I thought!! Even though I absolutely love our home, I’m one of those people that constantly wants to change something (there are just too many cool ideas and projects out there!). Are you like that?
My thoughts kept bouncing from room to room, and I finally settled on our entryway (remember when we talked about it here?) – it’s really the only room in our house that has been virtually untouched since the day we moved in over two years ago. That’s crazy, right?
The bottom line is that I just can’t figure out what to do with it. Each of the four walls has a ginormous doorway in it so I’m left without any real wall space to work with. See what I mean?
( Looking in from the den – Jason’s office is on the left. )
( Looking in from the den – the dining room is on the right. )
But since I’m now the lucky recipient of this imaginary makeover, I’m going to solve that problem!
Here’s the plan:
- Give myself a wall to work with. See that doorway to the dining room in the photo above? Consider it gone. We have another access point through the kitchen, so my plan is to pop off the trim around the doorway, frame out a wall, add some drywall and new baseboards and call it a day. Then I’ll have a wall and we can always easily take it down if we need to because the floors won’t have been damaged.
- Add some wallpaper. I don’t know why but I have been obsessed with the idea of adding wallpaper somewhere in our home (but the realtor in me screams, “Noooo, don’t do it!!). Some days I want to add grasscloth to the vaulted ceiling in the den, other days I’m itching for something patterned down the hallway. I think it’s the texture that I’m longing for.
- Switch out the light fixture. This has been on the “someday I’d like to” list for quite awhile. We added the fixtures in the entryway and dining room when we renovated, but I’m not a fan of them – I want something with more pizazz!
- Finish things off with a fabulous dresser and goodies on the wall. I think that one’s pretty self-explanatory. :)
With those criteria in mind, if I won a free room makeover for one room in my home, I would . . .
Make my entryway look like this:
Or this:
Or maybe this!
Which would you choose?
