Hello everyone! Today I am continuing my house tour with the Back Door Entryway. This is a small space (it’s right off our back door leading from the garage) so this will be a quick tour!
This is an antique school desk with a flip up lid that we refinished and painted the legs black. It’s great for storing pens, pads of paper and setting things on when we come into our home. It’s a perfect size for this small wall too!
This mirror is from Goodwill. It was a very unattractive gold color when I bought it, but I really liked the shape of it, so I spray painted it gloss white. What problem doesn’t white spray paint solve, right ???? 🙂
Some pink roses from my backyard in small glass vases. The round glass jar in the middle actually came with the desk and fits in the hole on top! I added some white flowers from the hedges in my yard.
Linking to these fabulous parties here.

That mirror was a GREAT find! Nope. There’s not much a can of spray paint can’t fix… well, unless you drill a hole through the frame of your mirror. Then you need some caulk. ha!
Simple and elegant, as I would have expected. *I just voted for your cozy on one artsy mama…best of luck!
Adorable! Love the mirror!
Everything about the space is so inviting and cozy but I have to profess my love for your school desk. It is the perfect touch for this space! I have an old school desk as a bedside table in our Guest Room and my hubby has never appreciated it but I think it’s perfect for the space. One day I’d like to have a full-sized “teacher desk” somewhere in our house, too.
Love how you styled your back door entry. Perfect in every way.

Super Cute. LOVE adding a touch of vintage to modern decore.

I like it. It’s simple yet functional.
Hi Heather,
Cute back entry space. I especially like the number four on the basket! That’s a great touch. Laura

I love this – I have a small spot, like this, that I’ve had the hardest time decorating – everything is too big! >Have a great week –
