When we moved into our home back in July I had an awesome vision for our entry.
Here are some of the ideas I was thinking about for this space.
Still strongly considering painting the walls a cream white and doing high gloss white trim.

The banister is not just exceedingly sturdy so we have contimplated ripping it all out and installing more of a modern railing.
Our layout is this exactly in the two rooms shown.
I like both of these styles therefore I am torn.

We are planning to rip up the carpet on the stairs, install wooden stained treads and install a carpet runner.
The likelihood we get to this before next fall is pretty slim.
We have hit some major obstacles in this home and soooo many things were missed on the inspection report/discovered once we moved in that we will be fixing alot of behind the scenes things first.
BUT..... one thing we CAN do in the meantime is update some lighting.
I fell in love with this fixture back in the spring.
We saw duplicates at places like Home Depot and Lowe's but I knew this was the one the space needed.
The entry is so small and needed some charm.
We found it for a steal of a deal at the local Pottery Barn Outlet!
And just in the few weeks it has been hanging we have gotten quite a few compliments on it! 
The shadows it casts are Soo pretty!!
So glad I held out for the one I was really wanting!
