I came up with an idea for the front entry of the new condo while lying in bed last night wondering what to do with this Louis XV style lamp table I bought at auction. Estimated to sell for $600 to $800, it was a bargain at $150 buckeroos. I mean, check it out, people, it's inlaid and cross banded rosewood for crying out loud!

So I started thinking that this table would be just the right size for the two foot entry wall, and the three tiny drawers would be perfect for dropping keys and hiding miscellaneous clutter. With my thrifted Syroco mirror hanging above, it would make a great little entry vignette.
The only problemo? Waaaaaay too traditional :-(
So what to do...what to do...?
Lightbulb moment!! Chevron!!
Using the table top as inspiration (note the pattern), I could paint one zig and one zag of pink and white on the wall to give the entry a modern edge. Can you picture it? Here, let me help you out:
What do you think? Is is Good? Bad? Ugly?
