A Project For The Entry Wall

Thank you for all of your suggestions and comments on my post about our small entry/foyer wall.  I read them all and did some thinking about my layout.  I have been working on it and hope to have something to share with you soon.  Meanwhile, I know that I’m not going to have everything I need already to dress up this wall, so while I was in Hobby Lobby for something else, I looked at some of their letters.  They have quite a large selection to choose from.  I chose these ~ an “M”, “P”, and an “&”. 

I already have the large “K”, which is already up {along with the clock}, but thought it would be nice to incorporate our last name initial and my husband’s initial, too.  I also found this wall frame and used my 40% off coupon on it.

I very simply took some Osnaberg fabric that I have here and was able to use a scrap piece to put inside the frame.  I originally kept the glass in and glued the “&” to the glass, but it fell off soon afterward.  So, I removed the glass and just glued it right to the fabric back.

I chose to go with the “&” on the frame rather than the P, which was my original thought, because the two holes to hang the “&” were not even and I know I would have made more holes in the wall just trying to get it right.  I may actually wind up getting two other frames for the “M” and “P” just to give them a bit more importance than how they would look hanging up there on their own. 

I also saw a bench that might work underneath it all at the local antique mart, but I hadn’t measured the area yet, so I need to check the size before I buy it {there are no refunds}.  I’m happy that I have made a dent in my plans for this wall and will be looking to see what else I can add in as I go along.   I am figuring that it can be a work in progress as I find things.
