The Dior home is an older
one that is filled with
small spaces that lend themself
to a unique way of display
with function...
Our home does not really have
an entry way so I am always looking
for something to create a sense of "us"
when you first walk through the door...
I love mixing neutral textures
to create that "coastal living" feel...
I love pieces of nature
such as dried branches
along with other elements that I can
use to lend a peaceful calm...
Old salvaged windows
are among my favorites
and a must have for me...
It was the perfect size
for this old piano bench
to add height and
take up bare wall space.
I was delighted to
find this beautiful woven seagrass
basket with handles at
the Goodwill for 3.99
I found this old sewing table there
as well and after doing a gray
white wash I decided to have some
fun and chalk the top...
Since I will be using it in the entry
I just might have to start a game
of " tic tac toe " on it
with Mr. Dior...
I will be linking up to
the beautiful Kathleen's
White Wednesday!
Much love to all of you
XOXO

Gotta love GW! Darling idea with the chalked top table.Have a Beautiful Day~Cheers Kim xox
Tic-Tac-Toe . . . how much FUN is that! LOVE IT KATE!! Maybe leave little LOVE NOTES TOO!!! Take Care, JOE & GLENN
love it Kate.
That basket I think is from target. I have been eying it there. So great steal for 3.99 rather than $20
Love the chalk paint to right keys, clever indeed.
Happy May Day

What a beautiful entry way space! That basket for only $3.99 was a great find! I love the dried branch in your arrangement. I never would of thought of using something like that and it looks great! You have such a wonderful eye!
Beautiful Kate,,,,smile.....;-)))))
Haha! I just can just see the two of you playing tic-tac-toe!
I love the "keys" in chalk, what a great idea!!
I think you definitely created a sense of you. I love your vignette, and I can relate. My house doesn't have an entry either.
Beautiful Kate!!~ I love the chalkboard you painted on top of the table, what a great idea!! A perfect place to leave little love notes to your sweeties.
Have a wonderful day!

In everything it's the little details that make all the difference between a house and a home and you my friend are the queen of details!
I do believe I love your fun keyring almost as much as those great wall grates you did!

Well Lady Kate, I absolutely love the chalkboard tabletop idea but with all my clutter nobody could see what I wrote. lol
When you help me de-clutter I will use the idea on every surface. With me getting older I'm gonna have to start labeling everything in my house so I won't forget what it is much less where I put it. lol
oo and xx,
Irma
How pretty and fun at the same time!
Love it! Love it! Love it! Fun to chalk it.
hugs
