Home Tour: Entryway.

First, thanks so much for all your great recommendations in response to my post about our big travel plans.  I could literally spend all of my waking hours researching hotels and things to do on the internet, but the folks at work probably wouldn't appreciate that.

On to the next part of the home tour . . .  Last week I showed you the updates to the landscaping.  So next up is the entryway.  Here's the view when you first walk in:  

(This picture reminds me that I need to hide the lamp cord, and that Zoey is a ham and loves helping me take pictures of the house!)

Here's a close up of what's going on on the entryway table. 

I always like knowing where people get things so . . . the little teal dish is this one from West Elm.  The lamp is from Z Gallerie.  The framed "art" is a napkin from World Market.  I just loved the colors and they coordinated well with the rug.  I got the brass shell on sale from a near by thrift store.  And how cute is that little brass figurine of a dog that looks very similar to Riley and Zoey?  I smile every time I see it.  (Thanks, Mom!)  The tray is from tillymaison -- it also makes me happy.  Gold, lucite, and chevron -- I mean, what's not to love?  And, it's painted hot pink on the underside.  Yep.  Pure awesomeness.  Oh, and the glass jar is filled with antique keys.

You may have noticed the chair canvas.  You can get it here at Pottery Barn (and bonus: it's now on sale).  It's the perfect size for that space over there in front of the stairs, and I love the various chairs on it.  If it looks familiar, Kirsten over at Sixth Street Design School recently blogged about it too.

And as you turn to head up the stairs:

(Yep, should probably find something to display on that table, which is this one from West Elm in case you were curious.)

So that's the entryway.  Next up on the home tour, the office!

And on a totally unrelated note, I started reading Bossy Pants by Tina Fey late last week and just finished it.  It is definitely laugh out loud funny.  I am sure Justin got sick of me reading various portions of it to him over the last several days.  If you haven't read it yet, I highly recommend it.
