Information Station





If you followed this blog last year, you may remember this space.


I loved that look, but it just didn't flow with the rest of our downstairs (we have an open floor plan) which to me mimcs the Pottery Barn look; lots neutrals and unique accessories.  Sometime last year, I pinned this photo to my Entryways board.  It was the inspiration photo for my new space.



The T was one of those gold letters from Hobby Lobby.  I just spray painted it.  The clock, calendar, mail pocket, bulletin board and fake plants all came from Target.  The "HOME" plaque came from Hobby Lobby.  The key and rusted number sign were thrifted.  I just love that number sign!

Underneath all of this, I have a small table that I thrifted for $8.  It used to be an ugly brown sewing table, but I painted it black with a couple of cans of spray paint.  The basket under the table is for shoes.  We used to just kick our shoes off here and leave them in the floor, but now they're neatly corralled in the basket.

  1. It looks amazing! I like it so much more than before. And I'm jealous of your thrifted number sign! I've never found anything like that in a thrift store!

  6. Oh man! You seem to have the coolest knack for finding all things awesome when thrifting. I wish I was half as good at that...and I'm pretty sure the Husband wishes I was too! Great job!

  7. Looks great! And I am all about the shoe basket! Great idea putting it under a table. Ours was sort of beside the back door, but now our house is on the market, so I've hidden it in a closet--much less helpful when people come in the door. :)

  10. I love what you did with the space. It inspires me to use a small nook somewhere and create a space that can work for me too! I too have sign envy. I need to find where you thrift because you find cool things, LOL! Thanks for sharing this with us. I found you through Every Creative Endeavor and am now subscribed to your blog!
