Before & After: Our Entryway

Ours was one of the worst entryways I'd ever seen. (below) The sickly light from the too-small 70s fixture cast an off-yellow glow on everything. I tried to keep it off so as not to scare guests away but I'm not sure a really dark entry helped either. The walls went up & up and anything I already owned that I attempted to put up there felt dinky. And the dirty linoleum was just the icing on the cake!


So we replaced the light fixture, the floors, painted & added some art & finally, here is is now:


I wanted something really special when you first walk in... Something unexpected & a little crazy. The 30 Leonardo DaVinci sketches were originally intended for the living room but once the beautiful stencilling went up I realized I couldn't cover it. Our sweet friends Amy & Greg came over & helped us hang the sketches. I had a really crazy week last week & was supposed to take it easy, so I literally just sat on a chair at the top of the stairs and watched & guided & tried not to be too bossy ;) as the three of them -Dave , Amy & Greg- "randomly" hung up the prints.

All together this was about an 8-10 hour project- split between both Dave & I, it didn't actually take this long but that's about how long it took man-hours-wise. We bought the book Da Vinci's Notebook and I cut & tore out the sketches along the original worn & jagged edges. We used a variety of different subject matter & for some reason I can't help being drawn to the "grotesque" studies he did of people. Da Vinci believed that to be able to recreate beauty you had to have an understanding of ugliness & what made someone "grotesque." Dave just kept shaking his head as I cut out more "old men" sketches from the book for the wall.

But with 30 frames to fill, we definitely got our fair share of pretty drawings:
And everything in between:

The custom 20" x 14" antique gold frames (approx $20 each from here) came in pieces & Dave put them together. (With 30 frames, this took HOURS but the price made it all worth it to us.) I ordered uncut white matting for the frames and just mounted the sketches right onto the matting. My big dilemma was: would I hang them in a perfect grid or fo for a more Alice in Wonderland feel? Clearly the grid would be safer but I've always loved Alice in Wonderland and try to take risks when I can. (And the installation was so much quicker!!! No laster levels, just friends & some hammers & nails!)

The floors are now seagrass & here is an older pic I have of them (below.) We have a little Ikea storage bench for putting on shoes & it's where Christian waits when we're all leaving the house in a rush. The cushion is really easy to recover and I plan on switching out the fabrics whenever I feel like it:

And below is a view of the entryway looking up:

And here it is now (below). I couldn't be happier with how the 4-feet high Minka- Lavery caged lantern from Bellacor works with the frames. (I got it for around $200 on sale!) ...I don't know if this makes sense to you (and this may be the synesthete in me speaking) but when I look up at the entry it reminds me of tinkling chimes. I can't explain it but something about the frames & the lantern & the light is musical to me... It's weird to say but I can almost hear it. (hahah okay I hope you don't think I'm on crack, but do you see at all what I mean?)

And finally, one last photo of the whole thing from the living room. The frames aren't spaced evenly and we just eyed the prints creating a crazy entryway of "randomness." I know this might not be pleasing to everyone, butI'm so glad I decided to go this way instead of with a grid... the risk was worth it.


Needless to say after last week & all of our holiday decorating frenzy, my face & ankles & hands swelled up & I got cankles!!! eeeeeek :) They're gone right now but try to come back whenever I'm on my feet fro more than a little bit. I'm almost ready for this baby!!!

5 stars, it's perfect. L, you have the magic!

Jennifer said...

OH SO PRETTY! I hear the chimes ... haha.

Karen said...

Your mad the perfect choice by not hanging the pictures in a grid. Your eye definitely has to move over the images so you can appreciate each of the individually.

What a wonderful surprise - the best before & after ever! I love this - so inviting. Wonderful energy that greets you at the door and carries you right up the stairs!

That's a really fabulous entryway makeover! Great job!

Red Door Home said...

Love the idea of hanging the pictures randomly. It gives the feeling the pictures were added over time and not hung all at once. The entire space looks fabulous.

Kate said...

This looks so great! I love that you went with random instead of a grid. It's so much more interesting!

MFAMB said...

you should always listen to your synesthete...it looks amazeballs!

Sarah's Fab Day said...

Lauren, I love it! The gallery with with the orange door is perfection. I wish I could see it in person.

Take care of yourself Mama, enjoy these last few moments with your new Big. :) xo -S

Lauren- I am speechless. I love it!

Susie @ Maddie G Designs said...

This is an amazing transformation. You are so talented!

Linda@ Lime in the Coconut said...

Hard work...amazing end!

Now...go drink your water...and wait for that babe!!!

Unknown said...

This may be my favorite transformation in the tree house so far! Awesome job!

The House Creative said...

I love your entry! Stunning! Where did you find our light? I need a new entry light desperately, and I haven't found anything that I love in our price range yet. We have a Minka Lavery light also, only in our dining room..
The pictures you have on the wall turned out really nice. I love the way you displayed them.

Unknown said...

This may be my favorite transformation in the tree house so far! Awesome job!

tarheel said...

wow. It's fantastic. I LOVE the lantern. I'm so glad you hung the prints randomly instead of on a grid. It is really a special space. I know it brings you joy each time you walk into your beautiful home.

bagfashionista said...

it is BEAUTIFUL!!!! love, love, love!!!

take it easy till the baby comes --- (although i totally understand the feeling of just wanting to deliver ALREADY!)

High-Heeled Foot in the door said...

It looks great my love! I wish I had a massive entry way like that to do the same! I love it.

Things have been a bit crazy here. The fight with the In-laws have continued. I swear I now have an ulcer and have yet to do anything for Christmas. Stress.

Take time to rest! So excited for your new bundle of joy!

Lizzie said...

Wow! It looks great! I love the light fixture!

Lauren said...

Awsome! I love the "Alice In Wonderland" style!

I agree, I like the random placement, it looks great! I recently did an art wall in my dining room and it makes me happy every time I look at it.

Take it easy!!

Fargerike Dagny said...

Wow, it's looking fabulous!!! I absolutely LOVE what you've done! What a difference some artwork can do! Do you have closeups of the frames?

Marty@A Stroll Thru Life said...

This looks just gorgeous. I love it all. The collage of prints and the pretty new fixture and paint has made a dramatic difference. Love it all. Hugs, Marty

Carrie said...

The entryway looks absolutely amazing! I love it! The light is fantastic, and I love the random spacing of the prints. Thanks for sharing :)

Sarah said...

It's so pretty, light and airy! I love the idea of cutting the prints out of the book. Now I have plans for all my art history books from college!

Devon said...

You are KIDDING me! Lauren, it's amazing. I honestly couldn't have seen a way to make the entry look that way. It's gorgeous.

I do think your husband deserves an award. He understands the nesting instinct right before the baby and is getting it done. I'm so happy for you that you will be coming home from the hospital soon with a house that feels so perfectly perfect for you all!

Lauren, I love it! You really turned an awkward entryway into a fabulous, exciting space! I think the randomness is a great touch, too. Wow!

Unbelievably pretty. Way better than a grid. Love it up!

Howly cow, girlfriend -it looks AMAZING! Congrats! I'm always a fan of the random gallery wall (like in my own apt) and it's especially great in an entry for a bold statement!

Abbie said...

I love it. It looks absolutely fantastic! You need a little randomness in life... otherwise, it would be too cookie-cutter.

Alaina @ Live Creating Yourself said...

Um.. you're amazing. Seriously. Amazing. : )

Cheers,

Tracy Watier said...

Looks fantastic, Lauren. Airy and light but full of color and interest. Love the light too, perfectly suits the space. I don't hear the tinkling, but I sure like what I see!

Unknown said...

wonderful~! I love it. random was the way to go.
what a difference!!

vignette design said...

Quite possibly the best before and after transformation ever. Putting those prints up in a random pattern was genius. There are so many of them and yes, I do hear chimes. Love the light, love Belacor too. Your nesting instinct is in full gear! Take it easy. --Delores

Katie @ Noodle and Boof said...

LOVE IT!!!! That lantern is to die for! I like the random hanging pics! Who needs a level?

Erin {House of Turquoise} said...

I can't even imagine the frames hung in a grid...it looks AMAZING just like this! Especially with the lantern. I love it all!!!!

Sarah said...

Darn it, Lauren!!! How do you do it? You blew our minds again!!!! Amazing. It's totally and awesomely gorgeous. Way to go! Why can't I have friends and a husband who would love to do this with me like you do?!

mb said...

Oh my glory be. I cannot believe how creative you are. I suspect that your nesting instincts are 24/7 pregnant or not. You have got the gift babe.

Feet up. Sip some herbal tea and relax.
(is that possible with a little one tearing around?)

Natalie said...

I love it and am inspired to do something similar.

New to your blog and I'm so glad I came across it! You're home is absolutely spectacular! I love the randomness of the entryway, it's perfect!!

Re:Fresh Design Studio said...

Wow, Lauren. It looks amazing. I love the randomness of the frame arrangement, I think for that space it was the best way to go! You do such great work and are an inspiration. Too bad I have to harass my husband for months and months to get him to hang anything! You are a lucky lady!

Rachel said...

Wow!! This looks amazing!!

And I love your orange front door!

redbrickbuilding said...

OMG this is fabulous. You're a genius for making it look gorgeous on the cheap. The lantern packs a fantastic punch (I never would have pegged it at $200), the frames are lovely and the burst of yellow from the open front door against the evergreen garlands is v. juicy. Well done!

Katrina said...

Looks very cool! Love the randomness but not so sure on the grotesque faces haha! I think my husband would roll his eyes too. Good luck with bubby!

My Notting Hill said...

The randomness is terrific. The whole entry is absolutely stunning!! If I was a magazine editor I would so be on the phone with you! Michele

AMAZING!!!!!!! What a transformation...literally from night to day. You did a wonderful job creating an inspirational, "wow" space!

I'm expecting our first baby in January, and like you, I'm ready for him to be born...those feet in my ribs are not the most comfortable! :)

So awesome, I LOVE it! Perfect! I like that the pictures are hung randomly and not in a grid. The light fixture is amazing too. Gorgeous!

I am usually rather pedantic about symmetry, grids, etc, but in this situation the randomness is perfect. It looks as though you've had a professional in to do it...and what great team work, well done. Don't forget to elevate those feet :o)

I love your arrangement of framed sketches- it looks like it evolved over time, since the placement is more random. Beautiful entryway! The transformation is incredible.

modernchemistry said...

this transformation is absolutely astounding!

i have been viewing your before and afters and loving every minute of it. we live in a city with a lot of 60s/70s split levels, and i never thought they could look as lovely as you have made your home. you have such beautiful taste.

[although all your rooms look fabulous, i think the kitchen is my favorite! :)]

Peggy and Fritz said...

Love Love Love what you did - the light fixture looks amazing and while I'm one for symmetry - I think your "Alice and Wonderland" look is absolute perfection. Amazing Job!

Julia @ Hooked on Houses said...

HOLY COW! My jaw literally dropped when I saw the after. At first I thought it was a photo from a magazine--but no, it's your actual entry! Wow. I just love this. Love it, love it, love it.

My husband is going to be so sorry that I saw this when I start asking him to hang a million frames in our entry now... :-)

Riviera Boardwalk said...

I just love your completed artwork. Great job and how nice to have the helpful friends. I love symmetry but when it comes to hanging pictures I always well almost always opt for for free form. It is so much easier and quicker. You just can't go wrong.

The orange door will forever be my favorite and because you have it in the pictures here it looks AMAZING!!

Standing ovation! This needs to be featured in a magazine- taking a drab entryway that everyone can relate to and turning it into a showstopper! Love every single aspect of it!

Leah Moss said...

Lauren! Holy, holy, wow!

I am so happy you used the drawings here, they are INCREDIBLE in the hallway! I love DaVinci, and have also grouped prints of his sketches in our bedroom and living room, but this , well, it puts mine to shame. I think.

The chandelier works perfectly with the frames you chose too.

You're amazing!

Melissa said...

I am just speechless (and that's a big deal on its own!) It's stunning! I'm so happy you went random-- it's so much more interesting in that space. And the light-- oh, boy,that light. And your orange door, too. Amazing!

Unknown said...

Stunning! I wouldn't change a thing. It's absolutely gorgeous!! xo.

Annie Pazoo said...

Lauren- I get the chimes! Love the entry - the light and frames really make it. (and now I realize that I have a way to hang the many pictures I haven't put up because I couldn't get them 'perfect'). And of course I love your orange door 'cuz I already have one!

traci zeller designs said...

I love it! The randomness looks great. I just found your blog from Maria at Colour Me Happy, and I'm so glad that I did. By the way, I have twin 3 year olds ... and the cankles they gave me were AWFUL! I thought I'd never see a bone in my ankle again! Oh, what we do for our children. :-)

There is just no stopping you. Nope. None.

This looks fantabulous! And that ain't no typo. I hear the bells and they are a singin'! It's absolutely beautiful girl. I was dubious about that space, but you made the most of it, of course, and now it is an amazing architectural feature.

And the orange door, sigh, perfection!

Hope you're taking good care of you and that little gift you're carrying!

Hi Lauren...First time to your blog. What planet have I been living on? I just wanted to say that I think your entry is amazing. The rhythm of your pictures is magical. I am not a synesthete, but I can definitely hear the tinkling chimes you mention. There is definitely a musicality that really makes the space!

I will definitely be back to visit!!

Totally awesum makeover. It looks like a magazine cover. I like the pictures random .. in a grid you would always be fussing with keeping them level and it would have been horrendous to hang.

Truly beautiful.

Beautiful job! The entryway is unrecognizable and your post full of great tips (prints from a book, uncut matting, etc.)!

This is absolutely gorgeous! Your home is so inspiring. I love the splash of orange of your with the more neutral color palette! It all looks amazing!

Incredible. It all works so perfectly together -- the images, the light fixture, the airy, light-filled space. Simply gorgeous.

Acanthus and Acorn said...

Lauren,
OMG!!! Not sure how I missed this until now...I've clearly been checked out. I don't know if I am a synesthete but I absolutly heard the tinkling as soon as I saw the picture. The musical dance of the frames is being orchestrated by the chandelier!
I have a mini version with different subject matter in my dining room. But this is so stunning...now I want to come hear it in person!

Natalie said...

Absolutely LOVE it! you are such an inspiration.

Hi Lauren,
I saw the article in the Washington Post about you and your lovely home. I was wondering if you could tell me where you got the banded Seagrass runner that goes up your entryway steps. I have been trying to come up with a stair runner solution for our house and this looks absolutely wonderful!
