We started this entry renovation in January. January! It's been slow moving- especially after tacking on a collaboration with Pella for our new front door. It's ironic that it was an afterthought to reach out to them considering the door completely MAKES the entry! We've refreshed the entry a couple of times but mistakenly focused on aesthetics rather than function. Fast forward and now it's beautiful and functional. Keep reading to see how we added beauty and function to our small entryway.

Guys! We did it! We made it to week 8 of the One Room Challenge™! This room includes the biggest DIY Joe and I have ever tackled, a smaller DIY I love, tons of work, aha moments (Wait! The built-ins NEED to be beige!),  unique finds from friends (this console!), and so many more fun/hard/crazy moments that brought us to a completely finished family room. It started as neglected, lacking storage and style, and now? It's our favorite room in the house. As the room we spend the most time in as a family, it sure deserved the attention we lavished on it over these past 8 weeks. There were times I didn't think we'd make it- I feel like I painted for like 1000 hours, Joe was running up to the loft during work breaks, the kids were feeding themselves... you get the idea. But here we are and I couldn't be happier with the result. I'm not going to chat much because I know you're here for the photos of our completely renovated family room! So let's get into it!
