Hiii! Kylee here. This week I’ve been focusing on making my entry feel cozy. I have some art on the way and I’m thinking about eventually painting the walls and doors. I’ll share more of this space soon, but for now I want to show you my new cabinet. I originally planned to put a bench along this wall, but underestimated how long the wall truly is — the bench looked too small. So I started looking for something more substantial, ideally with storage.
As I searched for the perfect entry piece, I kept finding similar black cabinets I loved. To get one as long as I wanted would have cost several thousand dollars, which I was reluctantly willing to spend — until I found a different solution.
While browsing I came across a cabinet that had the exact vibe I wanted, but it wasn’t long enough. Then it hit me: why not use two of them side by side?
I bought two of the same cabinets and pushed them together — the total cost was under $500, about one-quarter of what comparable pieces would have cost. The setup gives me the length I wanted and the flexibility to separate the pieces later if I change my mind. They’re available in white, natural, and brown, so they can suit different styles. There’s also a three-door version that works well as a TV stand or in a smaller space.
There was another piece I was initially leaning toward that looks very similar, but it was much pricier. Cute arches aside, it wasn’t worth the extra cost to me. The takeaway: sometimes a little creativity goes a long way.
Update: the cabinets I bought have sold out since I published this post. You can opt to be notified when they return to stock. In the meantime, I found a few alternative styles you might like: glass-front cabinets with multiple color options (easy to customize with different knobs), similar models with an open bottom shelf for styling, natural wood versions with scalloped doors, woven panel designs, and longer carved-wood sideboards. Each offers a slightly different look depending on your entry’s needs and your personal style.
