Adding A Board & Batten Wall Alongside Hooks To The Entryway

We never get tired of seeing a solution like the one that Sada and her husband Reagan sent our way. They took an otherwise useless wall in their entryway and turned it into both a functional space for coats and a fairly spot for displaying art and personal mementos (we think they did an especially excellent job picking meaningful, glad art and arranging it in a truly charming way). Here is their letter:

My hubby and I lately redid our entryway! With the way that our house is laid out, I knew we were never going to be able to have a striking “mudroom”, however, we have this large blank wall right by our front door.

So we took advantage of it and created a little board and batten magic! Here is the before and after – Our version of a mudroom. :)

It is practical and it certainly adds a much needed pop of color.

The only thing we are still working on is the light (the light fixture AND the lack of natural light, as I am sure you can tell by my photos). We are in the process of trying to fix both, but I enjoy how our entryway is much more cheery! I find myself simply staring at it, ha!

I enjoy your journal (and would fairly much pee my pants if this was in fact featured…tmi?)! Have a strong night! – Sada

Obviously the woodwork looks strong, but we are totally into Sada and Reagan’s art arrangement (um hello, you know I enjoy all things soda). It is such a lively touch that they mixed engagement pictures with some of the real items they used at the photo shoot. You can click over to Sada’s journal to get more of the details on how they pulled this whole shebang off, along with sources for the art and all that good stuff. What is your go-to thing? Sherry loves the sweet “Enjoy” and “Consistently Radiate Sunshine” prints and I am digging the dark hardware and those come-hither soda bottles. Oh yeah, I am smitten.
