A while ago I posted about my living room color change - from yellow/green to a blue gray. Well, this meant the entry bureau had to change too. It's now painted Farrow & Ball's Pavilion Gray with a narrow trim painted around the edges for contrast in F&B's Pigeon. With the change in weather it felt a bit cool so I added this ribbon. The gold dish is from
Pear Tree Cottage in Vienna, VA. I rather like it empty although it's often full of sunglasses, keys and other stuff.
Here is my
entry way from a post last December 2008. In all honesty, I don't think I ever really liked it green.
It's really hard to get a photo since the entry way is fairly shallow, only 78" from the front door to the wall. There used to be a claustraphobic closet where the bureau is now. For this picture, I'm pushed to the very edge of the outside entry. Off to the right you can see the beginnings of a gallery wall, currently stalled and w/crooked pictures!
What's in this lovely pink package? The incredible book, The Private World of Yves Saint Laurent & Pierre Berge, that I was very fortunate to win from
Little Augury. She has impeccable taste as evidenced by this book choice for a giveaway - it is a visual feast. Thank you!!

I really like the gray and the bureau looks like a completely different piece of furniture--love the hardware too! Your entry way looks fantastic.

Hello, I love your entry way both ways... but oh, I think green ís better for me... but of course you get tired of it. Nice change though.

It was pretty before, and it's mo' pretty now.

Loved the green, and now love this grown up calm gray- what about a marble top? My eye tells me that your mirror needs a coat of gray too- one thing always leads to another. Your wall will surely be a fabulous collection.
I will send you some "gray matter" to add to your collection. (love your blue door)
Silver Fox en route!

I love, love what you've done. The new color looks amazing. You're so talented. Sorry I've been MIA for the last couple of weeks.
I love the change, Michelle! Change is good, as they say :) And I think the grey makes the piece a little more contemporary without losing the antiquey effect. Nice job!
