A couple years ago I noticed that I was gravitating towards more clean, streamlined interiors on Pinterest and convinced myself that I was becoming a minimalist.
But minimalist spaces definitely do not look like this:
It’s 2017 and we’ve lived in this apartment for over six years. Time for a makeover!
My husband, landlords, and IKEA are helping me overhaul this mess and I couldn’t be more pumped. And yes, it will involve a good coat of non-army-green paint. And some purging. And possibly some cocktails, purely for motivational purposes of course.
I’ve been scouring design blogs for warm minimal entryway inspiration, and while I don’t think we’ll be able to pare down quite to this level of simplicity, this is the direction I’ll be going in for the makeover: white, bright, organized, dreamy.
Where do you fall on the organization spectrum? Are you a minimalist, or a maximalist?

Oooooh this is exciting! Can’t wait to see how it turns out.
Me neither! 😛 xoxo
I’m a minimalist in training – can’t wait to see your gorgeous entry way once it’s completed!
I’m trying to be a minimalist-in-training, but I think I might actually just be a minimalist fan-girl!
I was looking into posting a ‘small spaces’ entry inspiration post too! That part of the home is so neglected haha. Looking forward to the reveal!
It so so is! For us it’s our only useable entrance, so it’s the first thing people see when they come in. Time to make it pretty!
I’m interested to see what you achieve. All these photos are so beautiful but they have no ‘stuff’ in them!
YES! I think I’ve found a solution to that. We’ll see how it comes together. Thanks for visiting!
Love this! So much gorgeous home inspo, good luck with the makeover!

Thank you thank you, Natalie! Getting started this week, fingers crossed!
I can’t wait to see how you make the entryway of your dreams. Excited for you!
Wheeeeeee! Me too, Marwa! And all this support is getting me even more pumped! <3
I wish I was a minimalist! We have a tiny entry way forcing us to be minimalists in this area. I recently gave it a small makeover (here: http://www.alwaysrooney.com/2016/08/how-to-make-entry-way-in-small-space.html)
Can’t wait to see how yours turns out!
Aaaahhh, Courtney, I LOVE your blog! So fun to see you here on mine! Your makeover looks awesome, it’s amazing how much difference just a few little changes can make! We thankfully do have a little more room (sorry to rub it in), and I think my plan will make a huge difference to our whole apartment as we only have ONE closet, and no kitchen cabinets, lol! Thanks for visiting! xoxo
I can’t believe you’ve lived in your apartment for seven years! I’ve never lived anywhere longer than two so far!!! Love these ideas!
We are SO lucky to have amazing landlords!!! I was the same way before we found this place, it’s exhausting to move so frequently! xoxo
Hi!
