Thank you so much for all of your comments on my console for the hallway! I loved hearing everyone’s opinions. And the winner is….
The Chloe Console from Pottery Barn!
I decided on the Chloe Console because the dimensions were perfect for the space, I like the extra storage that the shelves provide, and I think the black finish will contrast nicely with the gray walls and complement the black gallery frames hung above. Oh yeah, and the price ($299 with no shipping surcharge)!
Here is the revised inspiration board! Unfortunately, my console won’t ship until the middle of February. In the meantime, I am going to search for the perfect lamps and shades, and a long diamond-patterned natural fiber runner. I may even replace my ceiling lights, which are builder-grade, shiny-gold, hot messes.
I hope to have some “before” pictures of the hallway for you tomorrow. Whaddya think?


Hey- loved the pciture of your house! The tree!
The Rockettes!
Your new home office updo! I didn’t get a chance to get upstairs to see it- so It was cool to see it-
Love U!
Woo hoo for the console!! (That was the one I voted for, btw). Don’t you just hate it when you finally make up your mind about something, and then it is backordered?! That’s the worst for impatient gals like me! I love the way your revised inspiration board is looking!
Love that console! Cant wait to see the before and after photos!
