Remember I suggested to my favorite client (my mom) that her big faux fig needed to go,
and we could give her entry a simple update. Perfect timing, my sweet friend had a secretary
desk she no longer wanted and it was exactly what this little corner of their entry needed.
Not only is it the perfect size, but it's a beautiful piece to display some sentimental souvenirs.
I took your advice from the vote and left the original stained finish.

We chose a light color as a backdrop to highlight her collection from their travels,
by painting a piece of foam core in Behr's Jamaica Bay.
I should have opened the door so you could see the color better, trust me it's pretty!
We're still on a mission for a piece of art for the wall above.
Thank you again for all of your opinions and especially to my dear friend, Lori!
It was just what this corner needed to spiff it up.
Tomorrow my Craigslist secretary reveal, I can't wait to show you!

love it! the light color inside really helps the detailed shape of the doors show!
It's very pretty, great choices! I'm sure your mom loves it! - Susan
It's perfect. I love the color of the wood and the inside color of the upper cabinet. Beautiful!
It looks just perfect in that spot and the accessorizing looks great Pam and the best part, you didn't even have to pull out the paint brush (except for the foam core)...
Such a classy entryway! Great touches! I bet your mom is proud.
That is such a beautiful piece, and perfect finish for it. Love the wood with the interior paint. Great job Pam. Beautifully and simply styled. I bet your mom was brought to tears. Just lovely!

Beautiful change, I love how you styled it!!
It's ideal! Perfect for the space and perfect finish...
Somehow I missed the "vote"! OOPS
Just gorgeous and perfect left in it's original stain with the painted foam core inside. Much better than the faux fig!!!! And the styling? As always, perfect!
It just works perfectly in this spot, Pam! Your Mom must love the new look it brings to this corner.
It looks beautiful Pam! I just noticed that it doesn't have drawers on the bottom, the legs are so pretty and lighten up that corner. And your idea to paint foam core for back panels is so smart and easy to change out!! I have to do that!
It's perfect there! You did a great job of styling too! ;)
Love the foam color ~ looks beautiful! Perfect piece for the perfect space.

Lovely! I'm sure your mom is thrilled. The color on the inside is a perfect choice-makes me want to be at the beach on this cold, dreary day! Can't wait to see yours tomorrow!
Hi Pam, so nice that you created such a pretty new look for your mother! The foam core is clever and the color softens the piece and updates it.
I love all shades of blue. This was so sweet of you, and your mom is lucky. It looks great.
Great secretary desk and wonderful look for the area!!
What a beautiful home for it! The blue is such a pretty color. Thank you!
It looks much better Pam, and I love the color you chose! Can't wait to see your secretary!
It looks great, Pam, and just perfect for that little nook!
It looks like it was made for that space! Well done!
You've created a perfect little spot in your mom's house. Love it! Also, love that blue. x
I love how it highlights the blue in her vase. I bet your mom loves having your help!
Stunning Pam !! Your color choices are perfect. Gorgeous!

I am sure your mother is thrilled,Pam! Great idea to add a backdrop of color to highlight what look like some gorgeous pieces.
Just stunning Pam....and you created the perfect vignette as always!
Have a great week in spite of the snow!
We love everything about this - that your favorite client is your mom, that you used a rescued piece of furniture from your friend and the paint color you chose as a backdrop! You never cease to amaze us!
