Finished Entry Way

Hi all! I am back to share with you my finished entry way. I've been busy trying to get this little wall completed for a few weekends now and finally got around to doing it! I'm really happy with the way it came out.


The last piece to the puzzle is getting a rug. I have a few that I have my eye on, but I'm not ready to commit just yet. I am enjoying looking at my beautiful hardwood floors for a change though...so maybe the rug will wait a bit longer! Here is the one I'm drooling over, but oh that darn price tag!!!! Sigh.

Part of my excitement is the fact that I didn't spend very much at all on this project. Here is a list of my resources...

Wallpaper - Home Depot ($50)
Console Table - CraigsList ($20, formerly brass)
Lamp - Estate Sale ($20)
Mirror - Home Goods ($60)
Hello - Earth In Print Etsy shop
Jonathan Adler bowl, candle stands, vase, design books - already owned!

My new entry way has inspired me to make a new wreath for my front door. Time to mix it up a bit. Check out this post here to see some of my other (and current) wreaths. Hope you all are having a great week!

Unique Ceremony Backdrops

I have to say, I love when I meet an unconvential bride who is willing to step outside the box. I love doing things a bit different. Long gone are the days of simple arches adorned with flowers. Now people are really putting some personality and some major style into their ceremonies.

I am a firm believer that any little creative touches will leave your guests feeling like they know you better. Plus, if you have a good photographer, they are going to catch all these details and your pictures will end up looking like art. SO much eye candy here...

Don't you just love how all the pictures are so colorful and interesting? Which ones are your favorite? If you are already married, and you could do it all over again tomorrow, which backrop would you pick?
