My Not So Grand Foyer

I live in a cottage neighborhood filled with homes mostly built in the 1930's.  All of the houses share a similar original floor plan and over the years younger families have moved in and added their "touch" to make them a little different from the rest.  One thing that hasn't really changed about our homes is the lack of a grand foyer - well, any foyer really.  A few of the lucky ones have slightly larger entries, but not grand by any stretch. 

This is what our "foyer" looked like a year ago. 

Then I added the happy tape.

What we really needed in this space was a tiny, and I do mean tiny table.  A place for keys, mail, and maybe a pretty flower to greet us.  I took a table from another part of the house and gave it a fresh coat of BM Black left over from the bathroom.  The other day at Hobby Lobby I found these knobs.  They also had knobs with initials, but according to Hobby Lobby, the alphabet ends with "y" and I needed a "z".  There were lots of other great knobs there too if you are in the market for hardware.

Sometimes I like unexpected proportions like large over small.  I thought it was a fun way to bring Dad's mirror into the present.
