OMG! Down to the wire. Just when you think you have plenty of time, time runs by you. And because you have added “little extras & details,” guess what? Time is gone!

Here we are now on week #7 of the ONE ROOM CHALLENGE, and at first, I thought 8 weeks was a lot of time for a little Entryway. Now am so grateful that we still have an additional week.

We went from utter isolation and what some called the “new normal”, to cruelty, abuse of power, manifestations, and gatherings. It is almost as if COVID-19 was not an issue anymore. But here is the thing, and let me clarify ahead of time that this is only my humble opinion, take what serves you and leave the rest.

Started by having a battle of the Greens. Although, I was really decided on Emerald Isle by Benjamin Moore, once I placed a sample on the wallpaper by the entryway, I realized that it did not quite fit. Here is why: although a beautiful shade of green, bright, happy and a hue you could easily fall in love with…However, when taking the entry space into account, it did not sit right. It would be the only bright color here and although I am looking for a brighter and happier color palette, that green was just off.

Designing a small functional and inviting space is a great way to focus on creativity. Small space design is challenging and extremely rewarding, sometimes a small space requires a bit of a dramatic design and or bold statement so that it becomes large in looks and mighty in style.
