The Quest For A Console Table: COMPLETE

I have been on an eternal quest for 

a slim console table for our front hallway. 

You can see more details about that here. 

I recently dragged the husbo to Home Goods on a whim. Good thing I did, because sitting in the middle of the furniture section was exactly what we were searching for...well almost exactly.

I'm not crazy about the black color - so I may paint it...but the jury is still out on that. But the #1 feature that sold me was that it is 11 inches deep. Perfect for our small space.

Here was the "naked" hallway to give you an 

idea on what we had to work with...

And I am almost positive that I want to change out the two drawer handles. They just aren't doing it for me. 

But alteast our hallway went from BLAH...

To...making progress?

Now I need to accessorize the console and start gathering things for our gallery wall...to be continued!

The Quest For A Console Table

I never imagined that finding a small-scale console table would be so difficult. I have been looking for one for several months now and feel like I have exhausted all possibilities. Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of options, however, they fall out of budget or are way to large for our small hallway.

Let me back up for a second. Here is the next item on the decor "to-do" list...decorate our front hallway/large living room wall. 

 The 1/2 walls and columns separate the living room and create a small hallway that runs from our front door to our kitchen/bathroom/guest room area. I am sick of looking at the giant BLANK wall.

 It screams BORING and BLAH! I am desperate to decorate this area. Here is another perspective of the "hallway". It's pretty narrow so there is limited space to work with. 40 inches!

(Please excuse Emmit's butt in the above photo!) 

I would love to put a small console table along the right wall and maybe do a small gallery wall with different sized matching frames. 

Here are some photos I tagged on Pinterest for 

inspiration....

Bottom line is that I am on the eternal quest for a console table that is 12 inches in depth or smaller...anyone have any ideas?
