that umbrella stand used to carry coal for the fireplace - back in the early sixties, when we still had coal stoves, every household would have one of these (be it less fancy ones, lol), but then we switched to gas and now everyone has radiators, so...

I totally agree. In Britain, they are called coal 'scuttles'. You fill them, keep them beside the fireplace, then when the fire gets low, you pour more coal from the scuttle into the fireplace. Makes a nice umbrella stand though.

@@micbarker6256 it definitely is a coal scuttle per my british grandmother. the lower handle is the give away. you held the 2 handles to pour out the coal. she still has one very similar that she has on her porch with flowers now. it was used by her grandparents & so on...its odd that business that beth bought it from listed it as an umbrella stand. i would have listed it as an antique coal scuttle that makes a perfect umbrella stand or flower pot, etc...at any rate, its charming as a decor piece. think about all that work & coal dust back then.

The entry turned out so pretty! I would be worried the fabric panel would get in the way of function.

Hmmm I personally wouldn't put the fabric panel. The entryway is so small and you already have all this natural wood and jute and other neutral brown tones to soften the look. I think adding the fabric panel would draw the attention away from all the natural lighting you already have coming from your front entry way and such. Plus the door is statement in itself! It's a wonderful dark color to contrast with the walls and all the furnishings you put up :) If you wanted some other decoration there, I'd suggest some sort of painting or piece you can put above the door to welcome you guys when you come into/leave the house.

Must be one used for a big cook stove which needed quite a bit of coal. The scuttle would nicely pair with the oven. The handles of the stove and the protective bars around the stove, were also often made from copper. In this way the functional parts enhance the design.

Such a fun day!! Your entryway turned out lovely! Since you asked; I'd leave the entryway as is. I think a swag would complicate it. So enjoyed the flea market. You have some great finds and I like that you moved the tassel to the armoire. As stated earlier in the comment, keep the entryway simple.

I love the Flea Market... I would love that place. Great finds. A woman will labour for a loved piece. Your house is not a house, it is a home. Thanks for taking us along.

Oh Beth you have most impeccable taste! If you ever tire of cooking for a living (please don't), you could easily be an interior designer. I'm so envious of your access to these huge flea markets in France - what a goldmine! I'm sorry if you've already shared this, but where is your rental located in France? It would be such a treat to stay there, and we're hoping to travel to France in the next couple years.

Great finds, Beth! I love the little chest and the farm field painting is a treasure, perfectly placed. I love everything you’ve done in the home, elegant but not pretentious. A pretty swag would look lovely by the front door, it would soften the door when closed as well. Good move with the tassel too. It’s too pretty to hide, needs to be eye level to appreciate. LOVE it ALL!

The copper "umbrella stand" is called a coal scuttle in the UK. It would stand beside the fire full of coal so you did not have to keep going outside for the coal in the winter.

Love the entry way, it’s perfect! 😊

I think your entryway is perfect/complete. It’s really nice and I cannot believe what a difference a cabinet (I would have taken the trouble to haul it back to the car too), mirror and hooks could transform a space. The picture in the kitchen is perfect on that wall and from what I can see, the main area of the house looks complete. You have reached the point of cozy and inviting without competing with the views of the garden. Cannot wait for a grand tour.

It looks so much fun at the market & what great finds, they all look so lovely in your beautiful home x x

I see what you're saying about covering the electrics. My first thought was to build a box around it that matched the wooden bench and make it large enough to have a shelf or two inside for storage.

Imagine coming in out of the rain on a blustery day, opening the door and having the curtain blow around, get wet and stick you while you try to wrestle it out of the way to close the door! And it would cause a heating/cooling problem as the thermostat would always read the temp as warmer. The thermostat would run the a/c too much in summer and not enough in winter, so you’d freeze all the time.
