I’m very excited to finally be posting the before pics of my entry way! It always amazes me how much we don’t really see when we look at something every day.
It was a functional area for the most part so I didn’t really think much of it. There were hooks for coats and purses. They were like 18 years old and out of style but they still held coats and purses perfectly fine. There were small cubbies for shoes. A few pairs fit in there but most of the shoes didn’t fit inside and spilled out all over the floor. This drove me crazy and was the main reason for the transformation.
Next to the shoes there was a bench. I used to have an Amish one that I loved. It held lots of hats and gloves but the twins scribbled all over it when they were little and eventually the seat broke. I replaced it with a cheaper version about a year ago and that one never really worked out. It didn’t hold many hats and gloves and the seat sagged when you sat on it. It frustrated me more than anything so I gave it to a friend.
In some of the pictures, you’ll be able to see the carpet that I finally replaced. Embarrassing! Why in the world didn’t I replace it 15 years ago? It’s horrible.
Well, here are the before pics!
Carpet is the first thing to go in my home. I love the way it feels underfoot and how many pretty colors and styles they make, but in my home, it really is a bad floor covering where my pets are concerned! I like the shoe cubby! Happy Christmas. Koko❀
I wasn’t even planning on putting flooring down in the whole room because I like carpeting but once we started, it looked so nice that we had to finish it!
Wood floors are beautiful too. I laid about 2000 square feet and I love it. Easy to keep clean and that means great for pets and my allergies too! 🙂
