Well, we lit up the hallway anyway! We posted awhile back about our front hall progress from ‘teenie tiny’ to ‘ah, much better’. There are still a few projects left to finish (does it ever end really?) like sanding and refinishing the hardwood and putting down quarter round and painting the remainder of the ceiling and [...]
**Scroll to the bottom of post to link your Christmas decorating** Being that we start to put up our Christmas decorations on November 1st every year, I tend to putter and tweak them as Christmas draws nearer. I think it originally started because when the kids were small, like toddler-small, I would have to fix [...]
Finally! The DIY Starburst Wreath is done!!! Finished. Finito. Fini. Back in September I told you about a diy project I was working on that was similar to this one by Janell: However since this project was going into our front hallway (the hallway is almost finished – watch for the total reveal with before and [...]
Okay, so I really meant to leave you with my Happy Thanksgiving post for the weekend. But I just finished this project and I couldn’t wait to show you. It was so cheap, but it turned out so gorgeous! A couple of months ago when I bought the dresser for our front hall (a kijiji [...]
Just popping in real quick to let you know what we’re working on here at Chez Acheson. We are still finishing this DIY Starburst Wreath. It’s going to be gorgeous when it’s finally finished.

Finding Fabulous is having another – their 50th! – Frugalicious Friday which is a link party to share the “fabulous, thriftiest most frugalicious home decor finds!” AND Funky Junk Interiors is also having a link party called Saturday Night Special. Both parties instantly made me want to share more of our recent front hallway makeover. [...]
**This post has been updated with better after photos.** We’ve been inspired by our fellow bloggers, yet again – imagine that! A couple of our favourite bloggers recently featured (their own and others’) graphic/geometric statement walls. I read about After the Before’s bold orange living room TV wall back in July. Isn’t it gorgeous? The [...]
When we first moved into Chez Acheson, our front entry was small and cramped. Like postage-stamp tiny. Basically the entryway/foyer was about two and a half feet wide by three feet. The front door could just barely swing open without skimming the walls and closet doors. When we all came home it was [...]
My aunt just asked me this question: “How much difference does a front door make?” At first I was totally puzzled. There was no context. Just a question on my fb page. “How much difference does a front door make?” Naturally, I asked for clarification. Her response was “curb appeal”. How much difference does the front [...]
If you have more than one person living in your space, I’m betting your front hall often looks more like the messy backroom of a shoe store than a front entryway. Think about it. Heeled boots, snow boots, rubber boots, running shoes, sports shoes, sandals, flip-flops, black shoes, brown shoes, red shoes. If you have five [...]
