A Great Entry Table

I did a little furniture shopping lately to find a great entry table for our house. Luckily I was able to find the right piece in our bathroom! Above is the after – a clean line to walk by. The previous table (below) had a decorative edge that jutted out just a bit making one feel a bit claustrophobic walking by. In addition to improving the walk-through, the drawers and aesthetics look better with the pieces swapped. I LOVE an easy little home project like this, so once I made the decision to switch them I couldn’t wait to get started. So excited that I forgot to take a before pic of the downstairs room.

Before: Old Entry Table

Here’s the original entry piece after I removed the drawers:

Old Entryways

Remember when it looked like this?

I painted it with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint years ago. I mixed teal and white to create an ombre effect. (You know, when ombre what SO COOL back in like 2012?!)

Before: Master Bath

Here’s what our bathroom looked like before! FYI, I bought this entry table at Homegoods years ago.

After: Master Bath

Our bathroom is quite bland in color, so I thought the pop of color would look better in here. I was right! (The little chest, which was my grandmothers, is now on the other side of our bedroom.)

The drawers have been organized and hold extra bathroom things like Q-tips and toothbrushes.

After: A Great Entry Table

And here’s the after downstairs. What makes it better? The drawer organization is so much easier with seven options for hats, gloves, scarves, sunglasses, and little purses. The colors match our downstairs much better, and the cleaner edge means it’s easier to pass by.

I might note that I carried both pieces of furniture up and down the stairs by myself! This girl don’t need no man 😉

    Flossing is very important – I see you wont be running out anytime soon – ha ha.
    Both tables look great in their new homes, good decision.

    Love the swap! The teal is the perfect “pop” for the bathroom, & the shape & style of that table really suits the bathroom. It has a slight feminine vanity feel. The table you found at HomeGoods is so versatile & lovely!
