The Entry Way

This is the entry way; A big part of my to do list while Gregg was gone on this last training rotation. There are still a couple more things I would like to ad, but I thought I would go ahead and post what it looks like now. Before Gregg left, this area was empty except for the big picture. Gregg and I picked out that picture together, and seriously, it was the only piece of art we could agree on.In this picture (wall to the right), I bought two baskets for organizing/taking up wall space! I put these orange things in there for right now because I couldn't find a floral arrangement that looked right so far. I like the idea of putting mail in there!




In this picture (wall to the left), are pictures of our wedding and our shelf for keys, GPS, and other things. If anyone wants to know, that phone is to talk to people downstairs and to buzz them into the building! I want to eventually get a bench to put under the pictures for Gregg to take his boots off at. I am tired of dirt being tracked through the house!!

And, here is a close up of the main focus. We bought the art at IKEA, I got the lamps at the PX, and I got the dresser from a random family for only $30!! What a STEAL!! It came with a detachable mirror that I would like to hang on the wall next to the baskets, but I have to find a safe way of hanging it first...It is WAY HEAVY!! I am still in the process of purchasing a rug for the entry way. I saw one online I love, but can't purchase it until September is passed because we are saving up for Oktoberfest!! Yes, we are going and I am totally stoked!!!

I love it. You can come decorate my house any day. That dresser is great in that spot and I LOVE the art. You guy settled on something great. The mirror can be hung with one of those sheetrock inserts and a screw. If you're not sure what I'm talking about I'll find a pic of one and email it to you. They work great for heavy wall hangings. I miss you guys.

I love playing house, but sometimes I am not too happy with what is put out..lol. I am still looking into things over here I can hang with the mirror, but I am also thinking I might just go buy one that is lighter from IKEA. (HINT: Found one I just LOVED.lol.)
