The lovely Rene who blogs at Cottage and Vine started a new monthly party called "Room by Room". I wanted to join too, so I thought I would share my faux entry. Our 1980's Rancher doesn't have an actual entry way. Side note: I would kill for one with a hall tree and umbrella stand or a center hall with a big round table in the middle (swoon!) Anyhow, I created an entry area for my family. Glass front credenza, with special treasures housed inside. Mostly my "special gift" bunnies and other special treasures given to me or my family. A lamp, a faux pathos, another bunny, a brass bowl for mail and a key box. I still want to find one of those cool umbrella stands for the left side of the credenza ~ next to the tiled "entry" area. We tiled that little area to give wet shoes a place to land before hitting the carpet. Mr Chez Nathanael does not like to ask guests to remove their shoes, so we compromised with a little tile area.
Some beautiful art for the wall by my favorite artist Betsy Brown; sorry about the flash glare in the first one. I added a different angle without the glare : )

| Brass Bowl for Mail |
I found this brass bowl at GW (I know, brass is so 80's but I love it ~ somehow to me it says "classy") the inside was all icky, probably used for a plant without a pot liner tray. So I sanded it and sprayed it with black Rustoleum. LOVE how it turned out, now when the mail comes I have some place to deposit it (after the junk mail goes in the recycle bin).

| Faux (dusty) pathos and Bunny Funny the things you don't see until the flash hits them. |
Thanks for stopping by, as always I love the company and would be soooo honored if you would consider following my blog. I'm off to clean the pathos oh and and I'm linking to the Room by Room "Entry Way" Party at http://cottageandvine.blogspot.com/ and Bunny (love the name!) at http://bunnyjeansdecorandmore.blogspot.com/ for her newbie party!

Ha! I would kill for an "entry" as big as yours! LOL! Your credenza is beautiful and I love your bunnies. BTW... I think brass is more "traditional" than it is "1980's" but either way, it's making a comeback :) What a great place for the mail! Have a nice week!

You sound like me - wishing for a bigger entry (even though yours looks like a nice size). There could be much worse things I suppose :)
