New Space: Entry Way Ideas

In my new apartment, we hung exactly two things on the wall: a massive mirror over my dresser & a massive mirror over my couch. Every other wall is as bare as can be.

It's driving me crazy.

But my new apartment is gorgeous and the last thing I wanted to do was start throwing things up on the wall just to get something hung. I'm not the most patient person in the world so I'm on a mission to start figuring out how to decorate the new space.

First on the list is a building project.

I have a little entry way right when you enter the apartment and it's a perfect space for either a narrow table or bench. I've been scouring Pinterest for some ideas & here's what I've found:

But I think what I really want to do is take this coffee table & turn it into a narrow entry way table... if I can find a long, narrow window at Sleepy Poet or Habitat Restore. Otherwise this won't work at all in the space.

Either way I go... there's definitely some building in my future! Considering those closest that I've come to building furniture is putting together a bookshelf/supervising someone else putting together an Ikea dresser... this should be entertaining.
