before & after: an ehhhh entry gets some extra lovin’

jessica was constantly feeling the entry in her home felt really unfinished. she said ‘no matter what art or rugs i used, the white walls felt super boring and nothing popped against them.’

the most marvelous thing about the makeover is the wayne pate wallpaper from studio four in nyc.  it completely transformed the space.

each bedroom in her ranch house has a bit of blue and white, so for the hallway connecting them all, jessica picked a unifying color palette, but played the classic colors up with a vibrant, fun pattern. ‘it really looks hand painted, which i love,” she says.

the lemon chandelier was vintage find during a decorating job we did in palm beach. she added wicker shades.

jessica said the challenge was that it’s a small space and doesn’t get much light. ‘i wanted it to feel special without being cluttered’.

she chose simple, tailored, classic pieces like the sisal rug (from our local fave eatman’s) and the urban electric light fixture since the wallpaper is such a statement.
