Hey guys!! Are you sitting down? Good. Cause I’m about to blow your freaking mind. When you think of The Home Depot, what comes to mind? Tools? Wood? Plants? Orange smiling faces? Add another thing to that list, HOME DECOR! They just rolled out their new decor line, and you’re not going to believe how terribly good it is.
If your house is feeling a little lost, one of my best tips to make it feel like a home and add some critical personality is to mix vintage and new. Vintage pieces add the soul and new pieces make the space feel updated.
As most of you know, we moved out of our house in January and into the inlaws basement. When Home Depot reached out about styling a space with some of my favorite pieces I couldn’t shout yes loud enough. I love paying it forward and no one helps me more with the kiddos than my adorable sister in law Lindsay. (You might remember her daughter Macie’s bedroom that we made over a few years ago.) Her entryway is the lucky space. She recently repainted and installed new flooring and I was so excited to give her a little design nudge.
Every time I go to my storage unit, my heart breaks a little for the pieces that are just sitting in there. I know, its a little dramatic, but when that rolling door opens and I see all of my favorite things just sitting there collecting dust I want to lovingly console each of them. After looking at Lindsay’s entryway I knew that it was the perfect spot for my card catalog (you can see how it started out here, but consider yourself warned, if furniture abuse is a trigger you might not want to click that link)
Once I knew what the star was going to be, I went to homedepot.com and got to work. Guys. There are SO MANY GOOD THINGS. Always being a woman on a budget, I picked out some of my favorites that won’t blow your budget (the chair! the rug!!)
The first thing that jumped into my cart were these metal Windsor style chair (how great is it that its metal?! Classic style, easy modern finish and only $157 for a pair!) They are oversized and have a wide back that fans out at the top. They would be perfect in a dining room or office too!
Can we just have a moment of silence for the area rug? Its 5×8 and only $126! WHAT!???!?
Seeing as how leather is my love language, there was no way I could resist this
leather mirror. I am obsessed with the little yellow accent stitches, sometimes it really is the small things guys.
It was really important for the space to be as functional as possible and one of the must haves is a large basket for shoes. The basket that I used is natural, but is also extremely heavy duty (you know how sometimes wicker or rattan falls apart after a short time of heavy shoes being flung inside?) I was pleasantly surprised at how durable this basket is.
You guys know I love a good shelf build, but sometimes its really wonderful to just buy one. The white 24″ shelf that I used is in stock at your local Home Depot all the time!
I added a faux olive tree, simple black framed art, and an old camera to liven up the gigantor wall.
Now tell me how you’re feeling, can you believe all of those treasures came from our favorite orange store!?

Huge thanks to Home Depot for partnering with me on this post!
Such a great space!! I love your amazing light in the entry way!! Where did you get it? Or if you made it where did you find the basket?
Hello darling! Great news about Home Depot! Love this space!! Question… are they changing the name of Home Decorators Collection (I know they HD owns them) or is this a completely separate line of furniture + decor? xo
storage goals, literally…
I love the idea of a big basket for shoes by the door!!! I am totally going to do this in my home.
I love it! I really want to recreate this room, especially that card catalog! Where is the art from?
Whoa. That leather mirror is EVERYTHING! All the heart eyes, seriously.
I love your wood door so much it hurts!
It’s nice, but what an exaggeration to call it “smokin’ hot.” It’s simply nice–not overdone, not bizarre (as many high-end, highly “decorated” houses are)–and it’s obviously a pleasant entry for the family.
Wait this is too good!! Love this!!
