Farmhouse Halltree

This hall tree has been in the garage for many years......it belonged to my mother.     I have been very reluctant to paint it since it belonged to her.     I tried to give it to my daughter....grand daughter ......just about all my close relatives that would like it because it belonged to my mother.    No takers!

So,   the other day I decided it had to be painted if it wanted to be part of my decor.....lol!

Isn't she a beauty now!

I really didn't have a place for it in the house unless I got rid of something,   so,  I asked my daughter if she would like to have the desk you see in the photo on the left......and she said she would love to!

After it was painted and moved into the entry,    I couldn't wait to create a floral design to put on it.    I chose a pick wicker purse as the container for my design.

Right now the weather is so mild here in Eastern New Mexico that I couldn't resist using some spring flowers in with my roses......

The floral design covers up a good deal of the mirror on the hall tree,    but that's ok because I have other mirrors in the entry.

Now I have a place to hang my jacket when I come in from the yard.

The hall tree has a drawer to keep my garden gloves in.......

On the bottom shelf,    I have a ironstone crock that belonged to my dad   

I have an umbrella handy..........

Also my garden shoes..................

I have two of the walls in the entry refreshed with different decor for 2018......

Now to finish the third wall you see on the left side of the photo.      You will be surprised at the changes that took place on that wall .......AND  the new crown moulding  that H put up in the entry.
