Nothing I've found online is quite right and most of the stores in my area are still not open for second hand shopping. The only thing I'm still hung up on is finding a small bench or chair. In addition to the rug, I'm going to be refinishing a $2 mirror from Goodwill, (hopefully) building a rustic wood console table that rivals one from Restoration Hardware that costs $2,150, and adding some vintage hooks to the wall for coats. Options are limited here because I need something larger than a 2x3 entryway mat size, but a runner or 3x5 rug are too large. I finally gave up waiting and have gone with a Joanna Gaines rug instead. I LOVED the one in my original design, but it has been out of stock since before I started planning this design, and I suspect with the way things are at the moment, it won't be restocked any time soon. The other change in addition to the flooring came with my rug choice. This is the only wiring in the room to work with (not even any outlet plugs) and the wiring for those sconces would end up being on the outside of the wall since I'm doing the board and batten directly over the old exterior walls (otherwise I'd loose about 4 inches of the little space that I have to frame the wall out.) I love that idea, but unfortunately it won't work in here at the moment. There were some suggestions about installing wall sconces instead of a ceiling fixture. I had my heart set on a Moravian Star version and finally found a flush mount Moravian Star that I like and am crossing my fingers that it will work.

It is hard to find something that won't stick down too far right where people will be walking. I've looked through a lot of lighting options lately for this space. I'll be sharing more about what I'm doing with this door in a few weeks. I haven't ordered the hardware yet, though, because I'm having trouble deciding whether I want to go with black like you see pictured or if something like an aged brass would be less bold in a small space. It was nice to see we were all on the same page. So many of you commented about using a barn door or pocket door to solve the problem of the door opening out into the room. To solve the issue of the bathroom door, I have decided to install a barn door.
