Good morning and happy Saturday! It is COLD here in central Minnesota and it has driven me indoors which is a bummer, but the up side is I love this time of year for house projects and snuggling up with great reads. Last weekend I had an opportunity to do both.
Our entryway to our home was a color that I no longer loved. For a small space it was to dark and the two doors in that area that I had painted were chipped and scruffy looking. In usual “let’s get ‘er done” fashion, I went to the paint store in the morning, had my paint picked out within minutes and that afternoon went to work. I am pretty thrilled with the results so for this weeks Saturday Snapshot, here is my entryway make over:
Yes, I am thrilled with the look. It fresh, clean and makes the area look bigger. As for the audio accompaniment, that would be The Husband’s Secret by Liane Moriarty which I am loving right from the beginning. This one is a treat on audio – love the narration!
Pop on in to Saturday Snapshot and see what others are taking pictures of this week. 😀

Your make over looks great!
Thanks 🙂
Lucky you to have an entryway. That is one of the things that would be a “must have” in my dream home. We step directly into the dining room from the garage or into a teeny tiny space ( 2X5) in the living room. Love the new look.
Thank goodness we have one! We own an excavating company and my hubby comes home pretty much covered in dirt sometimes and everything needs to be left in that room before he comes into the rest of the house 🙂
I do love makeovers, and your shots are great! Enjoy your new entry way…it looks like it sprang from the pages of Country Living. Thanks for sharing…and for visiting my blog.
Thanks Laurel 🙂
What a great weekends work with a fantastic story to accompany it.
Right! The audio made it really a fun adventure with great results!
I love the results!
Thanks for sharing!!
Here is my snapshot post.
Thanks 🙂
Wow… what a change lighter colors make! It looks like a fresh and calm area now.
Now I have the fever… I want to paint other rooms 😉
I read – and loved – The Husband’s Secret in print. Glad to hear it’s just as good on audio!
Its a fun narration, snarky sort of… but I like it 😀
I liked the old color, too, but the new one looks modern and clean and easier to live with for a long time. Great work!
I agree. When I painted it about 8 years ago, I really liked it then.
Room looks fab!
Thank you 🙂
I love the new look too!
Thanks Kathy!
Sheila it DOES look bigger 🙂 Going lighter was a good move, for sure, since that’s what you were going for. Good for you that you got it done. It always feels SO good to check stuff like that off your list! And though it’s a relatively small space, I’m sure you went through lots of painter’s tape with all the trim! Either that, or you have an exceptionally steady hand and don’t mind taking your time. Anyway, it looks great! 😀
I love a good DIY project – well done for just getting it done…and not leaving it for another 6 mths!
I’m hosting an AusReading Month on my other blog – Brona’s Books.
Maybe you could link a review of the Moriarty audio to the master post when you’ve finished listening to the Husband’s Secret?
I would love to! I posted it here this morning.
It looks fabulous!
It certainly does make a huge difference. I need to do some painting at home, but keep putting it off -for months and months. I should learn from your hard work.
