The Evolving Entryway

Hi~~

I am finally coming up for air:) It has sure been a busy weekend here. School dances, baseball, birthday parties, going away parties, grocery store, laundry and of course getting up EARLY for the Rose Bowl Flea Market. Does that sounds like enough?? I am tired, but a great time was had by all:) I have to brag for a second and tell you that my son hit his FIRST HOME RUN on Saturday. I think I may have been more excited than him. It was such a fun moment. 
Ok, because I have to finish hanging some items in my daughter's newly redone room, this will be a short post. Her room is coming together nicely and she is so happy with it. I am still waiting for the duvet to arrive. That will really make a big difference. She's a very lucky 9 year old:)
My entry way table is continually changing. I feel like I am never quite satisfied with the look. Right now, I am somewhat content with it. I figured this would be a good time to show it to you all before it changes again.
I got this wicker table years ago at an antique store. This is the one item that hasn't moved in all my changes.

Both of these bouquets of dried flowers were given to me when my children were born. They have lasted 11 1/2 and 9 years. Pretty remarkable. This peg rack was one of my first "chippy" purchases. 

I really love to decorate with mirrors. They open up spaces.
I took this picture and then altered it using Picnik. Love the softness.


 This is my little chandelier that I have in the entry. The piece above the door is part of a vintage picture frame.
The most recent addition. I just added this bistro chair to the side of  the entry table. I am low on flowers in the garden so I cut some of my fresh lavender and put it in this sweet small pitcher. It smells great too.

I hope you all have a wonderful week. It's going to take a couple days to adjust to the time change, but  I love it when it stays lighter later at night. It starts to feel like summer:) That is a good thing.

As always, welcome to all of my new followers and am so happy that you will be following me on this journey. I love getting everyone's comments, they really make my day.

  18. Cheryl, I love your home. You have so many charming things and of course I like all the blue. Your entryway looks great but I know how there always seems to be areas that are more difficult than others to find something that seems just right. I have a couple spots like that too!
