I recently spent some time at Carrie’s house freshining her foyer.
She has 3 young children, and this is their main entrance. So, it was a minor hot mess.
It still needs a fresh coat of paint, but here’s what we added so far…
Some shelves by the door to drop mail and keys and such. The basket swill help hold all these without it looking like a mess
We also hung some art work for a little personality.
The shelves were made from vintage books and brackets from IKEA.
(if you look closely you’ll see the title of this book “Historic Philadelphia“…which is were Carrie lives, perf, ehh?)
We also installed this round distressed mirror to reflect the light and add some curves to the space.
The bench was custom made by John Duffy @ Stable Tables.
We’ll add another basket under there to corall more shoes.
We also added some vintage books to her son’s room to hold his trophys.
Louis had a little nook in is room that was just dead space. So, we used that space to display his trophies.
LOVE that bench! Nice transformation!

Great idea with the Ikea brackets.
That bench is so pretty, and what a great and unique idea using the books and brackets.
the book shelves are very cool!
I visit your post. I like vintage books and brackets so much. Due to this blog I get more idea for home decoration. You have done great work.
Accessories and decorative items add a tint of sophisticated beauty to your homes and work places. They create the desired aura through the correct use of handicrafts, antique furniture, decorative plates, etc.
