Plus, I am a sucker for a black pane door with a seagrass shade. So classic!
In case you don't know, I have a love affair going with shiny back front door. I have tutorial on how to get a glossy one without using oil paint.
The existing light fixture was a simple jelly jar fixture. It was cute enough, but I wanted something a little more pizazz...
I tossed around replacing the jelly jar with a mason jar, but the vintage light bulb won.
The wood floors were already painted grey, I just purchased a grey/blue striped throw rug for $20 to soften it up.
For now, they stay grey. I have hung my paint brush up for the Summer...
I found this awesome brass nautical bell at a consignment store for $12.
Now visitors can let me know when they arrive!
This built-in storage bench is perfect for storing all our beach essentials and our shoes.
What could be more perfect than a chalkboard in a beach house mudroom?
My favorite CHALKBOARD CHEATING TIP:

It's as simple as that!

What do you think? Do you love a black front door? Does a vintage light bulb turn you on?

It's a good decision that you painted your front door black. Sky blue doesn't really match the wooden surface. Others may find it unique, but a black coat will do it more justice. You see, your entryway became even more inviting! Job well done, Holly.
