As you know if you are following along, I have added and subtracted all kinds of furniture from my living room, and now it was time to subtract a few things from the Entrance Wall too.  It's a long wall that leads you from the front door all the way to the back of the house where you see the family room/kitchen/breakfast area.  This wall needs to have some furniture, but it doesn't need to be weighed down with too much stuff.

Looking from upstairs down, you can see the layout.

Just like the living room area I am discovering that less is more in a small space and removing some things for a more streamlined look is what I am liking.  This is what it looked like when we first moved in.

Now I think it looks better with "less".  I removed the ladder back chairs and moved the bench between the entry console and the china cabinet.
I also swapped out the artwork above the console.  The painting that I originally had here went to the Guest Bedroom.

I added just a touch of fall with some Target $1 pumpkins and Hobby Lobby Antlers.

Now it feels much more open and inviting to me.

Sometimes you just need to take stuff away instead of adding.
