This L.M. Montgomery quote, “There was something in her movements that made you think she never walked but always danced”  has always been particularly special to me and it has been hanging as a print in some form or another in Lillie’s room at our last house and here in Lillie and Lola’s rom here at this house as well.

One of the last little spaces in our house to make over was the entryway closet where we keep things like shoes, scarves, bags, hats and that sort of stuff. I can’t seem to find a before shot (although if I do find one I will add it in here) but it was a basic closet with beat up yellow walls that I am pretty sure hadn’t been painted since the house was originally built.

As we get ready for the girls to head back to school we’ve been doing lots and lots of organization around here. We’ve been cleaning out closets and baskets and all sorts of storage places to get them ready for the new school year. One of the spaces we worked on making a little more functional for us  this past weekend was our entryway.

This weekend we had the honor of being featured on the HomeGoods blog sharing our thoughts about using gray in our guest room. Here are a few of the images they shared:

We also wanted to let you know that we will be restocking our Great Gatsby, “So we beat on…” sign this morning at 10AM.

We hope you have a lovely Tuesday! 

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Not a whole lot has changed in this room since I last posted images of it but some people asked about the the Paige chairs (the oval backed ones that were in here before) being moved into the family room (you can see them on either side of the TV in the last post) and wondered what was in the dining room in their place.
