Can you take a pic in daylight too?

Did you intend to give us a photo of your own entryway? I don’t see one. I only see 3 inspiration pictures. If you are asking for comments simply on the inspiration pictures, here’s mine: the first picture looks very dark and tunnel-ish. The narrow hallway is made look worse by the very dark and very tall board and batten.

I found these tall, narrow mirrors that would work on the rounded wall above my console. They are 12x42” and come in different colors. Do you think they would work? I was also thinking about a piece of art leaning against the wall. Is there a way to keep it from sliding off the table?

Oh that is so cool. Thank you! Removing or changing the way the car port looks is a bit expensive. So for now it will have to stay. But ideas on how to make that car port more inviting are welcome!
