Entrez-vous!

It has officially been like 6 months since I wrote a blog entry. Whoops. It's hard to find time to get crafty and post about it on the internet when you get a dog and this becomes your life;

Mom, play with me!!

Little baby Lyla has finally settled into a normal routine though, so I can get back to doing a lot of the things I was doing before we got her. Like decorating! Such a good way to keep busy when it's cold outside.

So, onto my topic of the day...

Good ol' apartment living. As soon as you walk in the door, you're in the middle of the living room. What's one to do without a foyer? I suppose you could throw down a welcome mat and call it a day, but isn't that a little boring? Here's what I decided to do next to the front door;

I got this entryway table from work for $16! Can you believe it?
It's great because it has room for a lot of storage. 

All I need to do is add a few baskets to the shelves!

Mermaid was $12.99 at Ross (I couldn't resist), candle was a gift from my mother in law,
and all the shells came from our Florida vacation 2 years ago.

Picture frame was a gift from my mom (forgot to put a photo in it, oops.) 

the flowers are fake from Michaels for something like $1.49 each, 

and the bowl I actually made with flour and salt and painted with a metallic paint.

I figured we can use it as a little catch-all for keys and spare change and stuff!

This is a little montage I made awhile back as a Florida memory. The lyrics read 

"Like a shell upon a beach, just another pretty piece. I was difficult to see, but you picked me.", 

the photo is of us on vacation, and the shells all came from the beaches of Sanibel Island. :)

That's all I have for you today. Thanks for looking, and happy decorating!
