Wanted to share a little mini-project we tackled earlier this week. The photos are not styled AT ALL but you get the idea.

Our little hall entry – not a total before, but sort of a since-the-before (aka a new table, that will eventually have a skirt to hide our grocery bags):

The picture worked better with the larger (higher) table and didn’t seem quite as random. Clearly too small with the new table.

So we swapped out a frame we already had and put in this marbled paper that everyone has been raving about.

I picked mine up from Paper Mojo. Warning: the shipping is way more expensive than the paper (which was $4.50 for a HUGE piece – this has been trimmed to fit in the frame), so if you know of a local paper store that carries marbled paper, you may consider that. Or just order a ton of paper at once to make the shipping worth it. Even with shipping though, this was only $15. Can’t wait to get some paint on the walls and cover that table! Our little basket for keys is from Goodwill!

    Hi, Maggie! Just found your lovely blog, and I’m a fan of these purple stairs and all the light flooding your home—really, really pretty. :) I’ll definitely be back to see what else you have up your sleeve.

      Thanks Maddie, and welcome! Don’t get too attached to the purple stairs though, as their days are numbered – we’ll be painting them white with a cream painted runner in just a few months (the purple was here when we moved in!). Hope to see you again soon and thanks for the comment! Maggie
