Small Changes

June 10, 2016

I made four small changes to my front hall recently.  I painted the walls, added crown molding, changed the color of the table and replaced the lamp.  I love how little things can make a big difference.

Here is my front hall this past Christmas.  The blue glazed walls are pretty, but I needed a change.  See my strange ye olde man lamp?  Don’t ask.  The table and mirror will stay.

About to paint.  Using Farrow & Ball Joa’s White on the walls.  There is no crown molding here (see above), but it is everywhere else in the house.  Strange.

This is the crown we have in the rest of the house.  My contractor couldn’t find it, so he had to make it from scratch.

New crown up, still needs to be caulked and painted.  The ceiling will also be Joa’s White like the walls.

This is the table I have in the front hall.  I love the table, but the red doesn’t work anymore.

A fresh coat of black paint updates the look.

I chose a turqouise lamp to replace the other one.  A pop of color as you walk through the front door.  Can’t seem to get away from blue in this space!

P1090140
Finished!  Fresh and pretty.  A place to toss your keys, drop your mail, check your lipstick going in or out the door.

Small changes can make a big difference.

The Wry Home turns TWO!

I have loved design ever since I painted my bedroom walls high-gloss lime green in the fourth grade. A lifelong hobby, mixing low cost items with a few pricier pieces thrown in, has become The Wry Home. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t!
