Entry Inspiration

now that i've swiped the table skirt from the table in our entry, it's looking very sad. (not that it was looking too great to begin with!) i'm trying to find some good inspiration to figure out a plan for that space. some of these i've posted before but they're worthy of a second look.

i'm super drawn to the whole x-bench-paired-with-a-console look.

thoughts? another idea is to do a settee - tufted i think - with some sort of fun fabric. oh if only money grew on trees  :)
