Entré

by Catherine on April 10, 2012

I’ve had a couple requests for more photos of  our bijoux apartment so I thought I’d share a little peek at the entryway… and by entryway I do mean the corner gap between the door and couch. To keep a small space uncluttered every piece of furniture has to do double (at least) duty. Take, for example, the Ikea step-ladder. Sure, we use it to reach the high places, but it’s also a plant stand, side table, tea trolley, and the place by the door from which carefully set keys, phones, and wallets (almost) never go missing. It also looks cool next to my wellies which, incidentally, make fantastic umbrella stands.

I love your little entryway! It’s so organised. I’m so inspired seeing how people style smaller spaces since we have such a tiny house.

Oh, love it! So organised and pretty :) I’ve been looking for a way to fix up our entry space. I really like the pot plants on the step ladder. Thanks!

haha cool!! I love the hat stand – I want one one day when I have room for one. My hats are kind of all over the place – in boxes, hanging up, sitting on my duchess etc. Wish we had Ikea here. I think I’d be lost there every weekend.

Thanks Melissa – the hat stand is actually an antique candle stand but to avoid wax dripping on my floors I use it for hats. There are great options often at second hand furniture/op shops, so keep your eyes out!
