HOw To FOYER ENTRY AREA


We had this small, empty spot right next to the front door.  It's kind of tiny for any big piece of furniture but we wanted to have some sort of entry/exit stopping off point by the door.  Originally, I thought about a coat rack but I got a wall mounted one a few weeks ago (mounted just across the open doorway on the other side of the foyer) and so we decided we needed some sort of table as a focal point for the spot.





The first thing we did was look for a table that would fit. A couple of weeks ago, we found this great little table at Nadeau, and it fit the narrow spot perfectly.  It was the same color as the desk we recently got which is at the other end of the foyer.  It also had a small drawer, and a lower shelf so that was perfect. Of course, we can't just have a table with nothing else around it.



So, in comes this mirror that I salvaged off the street a few years ago.  I think it was part of a dresser once upon a time. It's got some great art deco type details etched on it, and some of the silvering is coming off in spots which we feel just adds to the vintage look.  I decided to mount it on the wall above the table.

 



Next, I found a small key rail at Target and mounted that below the mirror.  We had this antique bowl that's been hanging around forever, so I put that on the table (on top of a doily) to give us a spot to throw whatever we want in there as we go in (or out).





 

Here is a close up of the mirror after it was mounted.  I just used those standard plastic mirror mounting clips.  Then, I pulled out these two wall pocket vases that I picked up a few years ago and hung those on each side of the mirror.
Finally, I added a basket on the bottom for additional storage (can you ever have TOO many baskets?) and voila!  Finished!From unused spot to a place to keep the keys, check yourself in the mirror before going out the door, a bowl to drop off the cell phone or loose change, and a drawer where we can keep stuff we might need as we head out the door.  The perfect solution for this previously unused small space. So look around your own house for that small space you don't know what to put there and maybe you can find enough room to create your own little organized spot.
