I made-over my friends entry the other day. I really hope this will show how we can all love our homes by embracing what we have NOW. Not waiting for perfect. We painted the door with the color of the year!!! I LOVE it. Also wallpapered, added a new key-less entry lock (that is affordable and has so many great features!!) and added some new furniture. See the after HERE And I will share the process over on my Instagram stories too!

New Unique Wall Sconce and Painted Kitchen Door
I am a little nervous to show you all this post! Not because I don’t love it. Because we painted something that I know a lot of you wanted me to leave it as is or paint it pink! We went with a color that not a lot suggested. But ONE of you suggested it and it was exactly the suggestion I needed!
Yes- talking about our kitchen door!
We also got the most unique wall sconce from eBay. I got it for a deal, and sadly there was just one on eBay. Who knows, it might wind up back on there. But I will share with just my email subscribers you can find it HERE on Design Within Reaches website. Yes, it is pricey outside of eBay, but oh it is good and makes a statement.
