Entry art

We have art! We have been waiting on the perfect piece, and we finally have it. The large wall in our entry has been a big blank eye sore, and it is nice to finally start pulling things together. It is funny how one little thing gives me a bit of excitement and relief. I can't wait until the construction projects are done, so I can put out all of the "girl stuff" aka decorative accessories.

Entry hall

The after photo of the entry hall.

The wall on the right side of the photo was originally open to another room, and we sheet rocked the opening. The wood flowers have been stripped, sanded, repaired, stained, and polyed. The baseboard is new, and all the trim and walls have been painted. I just have a little trim paint to finish around the door. Notice anything else? The beautiful brass lighting fixture has been replaced. Much better!
John Chris finished up the paint in the high areas with the scaffolding before we return it tomorrow. It was a little tricky and dangerous around the curved staircase area. I won't even begin explaining the way we set it up. It did involve a paint bucket, two bricks, and some scrap boards.
