Hey guys! I came across an image on Pinterest the other day that I was super inspired by- this light and bright coastal entryway:

(The original article is from Bria Hammel Interiors, and features a truly beautiful home tour you have to see!)

Isn’t it just gorgeous? I love the mix of textures (the basket, lamp and lampshade, and of course, the shiplap) and the coastal inspired look that would work in a transitional or farmhouse look as well. I thought it would be a great space for my next Make it Happen for $1000 post!

But the best thing happened- I was able to source pretty close knock-offs for everything in the photo for less than $400! That includes the console table- which came in under $100! It’s on Amazon and has tons of fantastic 5 star reviews!

Here’s how I did it.
