going industrial...a little bit


We have a "2nd entry" area that baffles me.  
It's between the foyer or main entry area and the main living area. 
It serves no purpose really except that it creates a very small and short hallway 
with a huge blank wall.   There isn't enough room to put a piece of furniture there
and Mandi doesn't live close enough to build in a bookcase with some rockin' moulding for me.

I'm tired of looking at the blank wall so I decided to do something about it.
I'm going a little bold for a change; a little bit industrial.
I hung my collection of "3"s and "G"s, or at least the start of the collection.
I hope to fill it in a little more with some smaller ones.




It's a little crazy isn't it?  I like it but do I love it?
I don't know yet.
By the way, they are all hung very straight.  
You just can't tell it in the pictures :)  

Honest feedback anyone?

  1. It wasn't perfect until you added the bench and pillow. So pulled together.

  2. I like it. I'm not bold enough to do that in my house, but it totally looks like something you'd see in a magazine -- like Martha Stewart or Pottery Barn. I think it's definitely "You" and I say you should keep it! I wish I could make bolder decorating decisions!!

  4. I am not a professional decorator--but just a thought--what if you put a large frame around the art work--you could make to size with moulding--and paint behind the 3's and G's with a coordinating color to set it all off. I do like those 3's especially...

  5. Like it. A painted background color block is a fantastic idea. I have done this and it pulls it all together exceptionally well. Bench is great....pillow should go...not functuioning ; too large. Impact should be on the wall and not on too many little things. Tweak it and it will be a fantastic graphic wall piece.

  11. I'm really liking the industrial look these days. Our front stair case was turned around so that our house could be made into apartments and I hate our front entry! It's too small to do anything in there but hang a pictures and throw a pillow or two. I would love the "front hall" look!
    Have a great week,
