rethinking the entryway....

This was a large and lovely entryway piece, but ultimately impractical. The two interior shelves were shallow and the height made in difficult to place things on top.We relocated it to a den where it gracefully serves as a perfect party bar,and rearranged pieces from the rest of the house to make a comfy spot to put on or kick off shoes, dump a handbag, and stash mail and magazines with a watchful Buddha to keep an eye on keys and cellphones in his lotus bowl. But most importantly, the vibrant Annie Wharton painting gives everyone an upbeat welcome!I smile every time I look at it, and isn't that what you want to do first thing when you open your door?
