Monday Redesign: Entry Way

Happy Monday everyone! I hope you had a great Halloween.  Wasn't the extra hour this weekend a cherry on top to a fun and festive weekend?  I think it certainly was.

For today's redesign I'm redoing an entry way today with a warm mix of yellows and greens.  This entry way needs storage and a place for everything (coats, wallet, and goodies).  Here's a look at what I came up with:

I love multi-functional spaces where the design is beautiful and there's extras like storage and a purpose for everything.  Here's a breakdown of the goodies:

1. The wall color for this design is Sherwin Williams Sunbeam Yellow SW0078.  Sunbeam, don't you just like that?  It makes me happy already.


2. This bench is from Crate & Barrel and it's on sale too.  It has great storage as the seat lifts up and it's a simple & timeless design.  I accented this bench with some great pillows from 2Modern (white on green) and this shaggy pillow from CB2.  For a DIY version of this shaggy pillow, check out this ruffle pillow from kelly + olive.


3. This rug is a perfect accent from this room.  It sets a good foundation and doesn't take away from the design of the room.


4. I have a thing for globes lately so I wanted to add on to my redesign today.  This standing globe seems to fit nicely.


5. Need a place to drop your stuff and hang your coats when you walk in the door?  This entryway cubbie shelf from Target fits well.


6. And now for a little DIY wall art.  Try out this spray paint wall art tutorial from Krylon.


7. And a perfect little vase to top off the cubbie shelf.  I think it helps balance everything out.

So what do you think?  Would this entryway redesign keep you organized the minute you come in the door?  What are your must haves for your entryway?
