New Entry Piece from Odds and Ends



So many different  pieces went into the making of my new entry piece  that I don't even know where to start telling you how it came together!  


I do know however,   that H did a fantastic job constructing the new piece for the entry


It starts with the top piece of a dresser  (a yard sale purchase)........then he added a tall framed  mirror to the front  of the dresser piece    (you may remember this mirror from the front porch)   


The bottom piece is one you've seen many times  (look at the far left of the first photo,  (it has also been in the bathroom and hallway)      A Battenburg lace curtain was stapled to  the front of the bottom piece.

The large posts on each side of the bottom piece came from a twin headboard.    I will use the leftover center piece on  another project. 


Once the entry piece was finished,   it was time for me to do my part of the entry makeover......


I made a large floral design.......


Then I started hot gluing paper butterflies to the stems in the floral design.......


I had quite a few butterflies so it took me a while.....


I also added some decor to the shelves on each side of the mirror.....................


and more paper butterflies.......


Here's the view from the kitchen doorway looking out the front door......


More butterflies......


I told you I made quite a few...lol!


I added some lighter/smaller pink  flowers to the existing garland above the entry piece.....


And of course a few more butterflies.....


This is a mini paper cupcake stand that I made.....


I put a piano chair on one side of the entry piece.....
 

The other side got a vintage  ash tray that I filled with vintage domino's and a cute metal lady bug.


The pink and white polka dot flower pillow in the piano chair is a recent purchase at At Home......


Here is the before and after.    

The big mirror that is a permanent piece ,   got a coat of white paint on the frame.    I always just layer in front of that big mirror......too heavy to take down....no place to go with a mirror that large.......no place to store it .......so it is permanently there!


Here is the view from the front door.....looking thru the entry....and into the kitchen.  

 Do you have any loose pieces that could come together to make something neat?



Where I Party.......
