Spring in the Entry

Spring in the Entry 2016

Spring is here in South Texas, in the entry to our home, and of course there’s a story to tell.

Let’s begin in the entry.

I found the table above at the flea market and my first thought was, “Oh wow! What a great table for the

entry !” ,
and then I took a closer look.

It is a dining table someone cut in half! I laughed so hard I almost fell down, and then I bought it.


Spring Entry Lamp 2016

On another flea market trip, I found the soft turquoise lamp (tassel included), and when the seller said the
tassel was free, that made me laugh too, and then I bought it.

I finished that side of the room with one of my favorite books, a small starburst mirror, a crystal egg, and
my favorite traveling faux floral that makes its way around the house.

On the opposite wall is a trio of Wilma Langhamer prints that I have collected over the years.

This is one of my favorites.

  4. Your entry way looks like Spring. What a riot that the dining room table was sawed in half! Clever idea!! Enjoy your week.

  5. Laura, I wasn't aware of the artist Wilma Langhamer but I love the prints. I've been using half of a table as a demilune for years, though I can put it back together if I want. It is a make-do idea that works and you were smart to purchase it!

  11. Laura, your entry is so pretty. The beautiful artwork, the blue lamp and of course, the sawed off table all work together to make the space very welcoming. :)
