New table for the front entry

When we moved into this house I didn’t really think about what to put in the front entry by the stairs. I figured the coat tree and a basket for shoes would be fine. I was wrong. It looks horrible and I had enough of it so I asked Ed to make a table to go in that spot. I wanted 2 shelves under the table so that I have more space to decorate. I was inspired by this table at Pottery Barn.

I stained the table a dark walnut. I was planning on doing 2 coats plus poly but I decided one coat was perfect and I am not going to worry about poly right now. If I decide to do poly I will not do a glossy finish.

I am in the process of decorating it now but I don’t have much to use to decorate for summer. The decor on this table will change constantly with the seasons and holidays and Fall is right around the corner! The mirror came from GW last weekend and started out with a gold frame and the lamp was the lamp I showed you here.

Off to ‘shop’ my house now! Hope everyone is having a great day!
