{DIY} Salvaged and Colorful Entry Way Make-Over


I am seriously obsessed with the colors, and elements in this hall! Remember in my last post I was telling you about that super fun and colorful home I was working on??? The one with the DIY pallet chalkboard and armoire bar, DIY red chandy, and DIY vintage, French, oyster basket light fixture? Well, this is it's fabulous and fresh new entry way! Below is a picture of the wall (the one on the left) before....

The wonderful owners of this house found a rusty old construction grate in their backyard and wanted to use it somewhere in their home... seriously, how cool are they??  We decided the entry way was the perfect place to hang it. It works great as a coat and scarf rack and even for pictures! We simply placed inexpensive "S" hooks from Ikea on the grate and hung the jackets and scarves from them. We also hung a poster that we aged, crinkled and mounted to canvas on it!


 We used a bench they already had and added some funky and colorful pillows! 
Below is an instagram shot. A funky old grate also makes a great place to pin old letters, pictures and child's artwork to! It would make for a great industrial gallery wall.


If you couldn't tell, I can't get enough of re-purposed and unusual pieces! What have you re-purposed lately??
I hope you enjoyed this entry way! Stay tuned for some more epic, inexpensive and easy DIY projects!
