The Foyer Tour Finale

Foyer Tour 1_edited-1

Foyer Tour

SHOP OUR FOYER:

I love our foyer.  Yes, I do.  However, it has been a little bit of a catch all for everything we had in our foyer at our previous home combined with random new purchases that didn’t work elsewhere.  It looks great but I have a lot of fun projects you will get to join me for in the very near future.  What a hint?  Let’s just say galleries, triangles and quite a few random pints of paint!

Re-Cap

In an effort to share all of the details of our foyer projects and products, I broke it down for you into three posts…

Welcome Home gave you a little introduction to our home buying and renovating plus paint colors and lighting sources.

Stairway to Ombre Heaven is a great tutorial for our ombre staircase with sources and paint colors.

Now, I’d like to share the full tour!

As I mentioned before, this chandelier was one of the first pieces I purchased for our new home.  In fact, I actually had bought it before we even had a house to hang it in!  Thank goodness for the two story foyer! 😉  The turquoise stone beads were my inspiration for the main accent color in our home.  I knew I wanted it to POP so I chose a light grey wall color to really set it off.  I always tell my clients to find that one piece to get the ball rolling on a design project and this was it for me!

Design Tip: Play With Scale!

The driftwood sconces were also another drool worthy piece for me.  I love when you can find pieces for your home that have meaning and these always remind me of my favorite place in the USA, Oregon.  Seeing the huge driftwood trees along the beaches is one of my favorite memories from my yearly visits to the Washington and Oregon coast.  I also absolutely love the scale of these pieces.  They are almost 4′ tall and really make a statement in this large room.  Scale would be my second biggest design tip.  Of course don’t be afraid of color and definitely don’t be afraid to play with scale, especially in a large room.  Sometimes smaller pieces end up looking lost in a room like this.

The moss covered letters were hanging in our previous foyer as well but I love them placed on our door frame.  My husband had actually gotten out the ladder one evening to hang them, set them down on the molding and I loved the look!

Design Tip: Add A Touch of the Unexpected!

A little fun and humor goes a long way, even in a room design.  I found this bull head at Home Goods and I HAD to have it!  We live on a farm, minus the animals, so the oxymoron was perfect for our entryway.

Design Tip: Wall Decor Doesn’t HAVE To Be “Wall Décor”

Everything seen here was in our previous foyer as well.  The frames are a fun POP of color from a company that is no longer in business.  The “bowl” I purchased from Pier One Imports and I just love the dimension it adds to the space.  Finally, the lion head was from a trip to Charleston, SC quite a few years ago and it serves as our “protector” in the foyer.  My husband and I absolutely love Charleston so it’s a great memory piece from the Downtown Market.

Iron “Bowl”: Pier One Imports

Accessorize!

Creating “nooks” is one of my absolute favorite parts of the design process!  I love finding fun furniture pieces and accessorizes to really complete a space.  The last 5-10% of any design project can sometimes mean everything.  Although I am not technically finished with this area, I will go ahead and share it with you.  This distressed gray bookcase was a beautiful piece I found at a local antique store in Madison, GA (sources listed below).  After several books were ripped to shreds by my little one, I decided to keep it nice and empty for now.  For the tabletop accessories, I arranged everything by height to coordinate with the stair step of the railing.  It creates a nice flow and balance.  The hot pink chair, which I LOVE, was originally purchased for my dining room but it found it’s way into this cute little spot!  I tried arranging it on the other side of the table but it stuck out too far and looked kind of awkward.  The pillow on the chair was custom made with a baby blanket I purchased online.  I was so obsessed with the watercolor print, I purchased three blankets and had them cut down to make several pillows.

      I have a rug in my foyer. I am too practical not to have one! Mine is an inodor/outdoor rug from Ballard Designs and it is very thin and not cushy like other types of rugs. I think it does the job and looks nice without being super formal like a rug in a formal living room might.Hannah

Gotta leave the house with a good cup of coffee AN Gotta leave the house with a good cup of coffee AND a beautifully made bed? ME TOO!!! 🙋🏻‍♀️ A few days ago on stories I was chatting about how huge, fluffy pillow inserts can MAKE a pillow sham! I feel the same about a comforter or duvet insert too. Layers and fluff make all the difference 🥰 P.S. My personal fave… @brooklinen is having a HUGE SALE so I linked it in my bio. Not sponsored… just love it and sharing. Happy Weekend!!!!!!

Is your house still recovering from all of the gli Is your house still recovering from all of the glitter, snow and pine needles? Don’t worry… you have one whole month until the next Holiday! 🤣 We’ve been through one too many stik vacuums over the last few years but between the lack of suction and the inability to stand up on their own, they’ve all driven me CRAZY!!! Last Fall we got the Brand New @hoover Emerge Stik Vacuum and immediately ordered one for my boutique and our cabin! It is LIGHT YEARS better than any we’ve tried so happy to say… our hunt is over! P.S. It also converts into a hand vacuum with attachments for everything from vacuuming out your car to cleaning your baseboards! #HooverPartner
The perfect addition… to cozy up your kitchen ♥️ One thing about these rails is that although they are often thought of as something you hang over a stove, you can actually hang them most anywhere in your kitchen. Almost any backsplash spot, a side wall or even over a console. I actually love when people double them up and hang tons of pots and pans! P.S. If you are worried about things getting dirty over your stove, simply hang items you use often and they’ll make their way through the cleaning cycle quite a bit. Even this little basket can be thrown into the wash 🥰 Everything is linked on today’s blog post and right here…
I know… I know… Christmas 2022 is well in the I know… I know… Christmas 2022 is well in the books BUT I did have four unexpected surgeries in December so technically I feel like I should have four extra weeks of Holiday shares… right?!? 😉 But I’ll leave it at one… AND technically it isn’t mine so I’m just bragging on my girl Ab 🥰 Hehe I’ll stop blabbing and leave y’all with a peek at Ab’s beautiful Holiday home she shared on the blog a few weeks back (linked in bio). If you want to see more of Ab AND more AW design, pop over and follow our new “behind the AW design scenes” page she’s running… @keepingupwith_aw ♥️ We also have some big news about Ab and her role with AW but I’ll save that for later too. WHEW! I think I’m done now. Goodnight friends!!!
