I'm putting the kitchen aside for now. For today? Honestly, I'll probably be obsessing over it in a few hours, but for this second I'm turning my attention toward our entryway and hallways. I'm searching for two things: a great, neutral wall color and a small storage bench. 


I'd like a color distinct enough that it will make the white of the moldings and stairs pop but neutral enough that it can carry through both our first and second floor hallways. I was considering a light gray, probably a shade lighter than our dining room, but have also considered something a little warmer. 

The bench would go in front of the stair railing, but needs to be less than 33 inches wide to fit in the space. Ideally, I'd like a bench for shoe storage similar to this. Everything I have found is at least 35 inches wide and I'm wondering if my bench is even out there. I'll be keeping my eyes peeled at thrift and consignment shops, but if you have any itsy bitsy bench finds send them my way!
