Our Statement Making Foyer Tour

What.  A.  Weekend.  If you haven’t read Sunday’s blog post, read it HERE and then pop back over…

Now that we are all up to speed, we can all agree that life (good or bad) can change in an instant.  Last Thursday, moving was so far from my mind that I would’ve laughed in your face if you had told me otherwise.  I quite possibly would’ve even committed you.  I mean, we have just now almost finished our renovations here!  However, I have to say that there are no words for how excited I am.  The bigger the project, the bigger the stars in my eyes.  Let’s just sum it up by saying our house has apparently been dubbed “the green monster”.  It’s a monster in size and a monster of a project.  You know what Mark and I say to that?  Bring.  It.  On.

For those of you that I promised a frame DIY to for today’s post (you know who you are), I PROMISE it is coming later this week.  I started it over the weekend but some “minor little things” took up most of our weekend.  You know, buying a house and all.  So that’s that but as for my blogging life, things will go on as normal.  Of course the new house will be added to my blogging schedule but I will still be doing a full and now final (sniff sniff) updated home tour and the other planned DIY’s and such.  So without further ado, here’s our completely updated foyer tour!

Foyer 5

So as you can see, it was all a bit drab and let’s say “cookie cutter/builder grade” kinda style.  Basically the polar opposite of my style.  Nothing wrong with tan and white whatsoever, this girl just needs some color in her life!  The first thing I purchased for our foyer and actually our entire home was the chandelier.  This gorgeous turquoise color served as the inspiration for our entire main level.  From there I wanted to capture this color in a show stopping staircase project, read more and get the full tutorial on that HERE.  The ombre stairs bring the color down as a focal point and the ombre effect draws your eye up the stairs toward the ceiling.  I chose to accent the vaulted ceiling with a gold metallic paint, detailed HERE, which coordinates with these AMAZING gold driftwood sconces. The next big, fun project in this space was the stencil wall!  You can read more about that and get the full tutorial HERE.  I wanted a little pop of wow on that fun little angled wall and I have to admit that’s one of my prouder DIY moments.

After that it was all about the accessories!  I got super duper lucky at HomeGoods with the tables flanking the front doors, the cow head (my little “nod” to living on a “farm”), the vases on the front tables as well as some of the smaller accessories.  The rug was one of my last finds and it completely caps off the space!  Finally, the “Hello” prints at the doorway are my little obsession. If you are interested in purchasing these or any other Sugarboo Designs prints, simply e-mail me ([email protected]) and I can get you a great deal!

 AFTER

SHOP OUR FOYER!

Needless to say, I am in love with our entryway.  It is me in every way possible and I love that it showcases  my style and love for color as soon as you enter our home.  So, welcome to our home!

    Every room in your house inspires me! Thanks for sharing with us!

    A few months ago you talked about where you order the photos of the girls. I believe you order them so they don’t need glass over the top. Loved the idea, but unfortunately did not bookmark it. And I have tried to go back in your blogs to find it, but have failed there too. Can you help a girl out? Thanks!

    I am in love with every bit of this foyer! It’s the perfect amount of colors blended beautifully together. I especially love the fun wallpaper on the half wall. It’s gorgeous!

    I have a chandelier question for you. I have one right when you open the front door, same one as you had(standard builders one) as well as one in my foyer. I really want to replace them. Should they be the same because they are in the same vacinity?
    Cant wait to see what you do with the new house!!

      No, absolutely not! I think different is fun and much more of a custom look. If they were symmetrical and together in some way like we have over our breakfast room table I would definitely say yes but I think you can change it up! I would keep a common theme though… the finish, the style… As long as they coordinate you are good. Thanks for reading!

        Thank you so much for answering my question. The chandeliers are literally 6 steps away from each other. I would love to make a statement with them similar to your blue chandelier. The hunt is on.

      I’d like to know more about the bull head, too! Did you embellish it? I searched HomeGoods, but didn’t see anything like it. Which is expected, I suppose. Would you share a more detailed photo of it?! Thank you for sharing all this loveliness!

        No, it came exactly like that 🙂 HomeGoods just has random things so it’s sometimes difficult to find the same thing at another location. I purchased this almost two years ago. Thanks!

    Hi,

    Your home is very inspiring! 🙂 Thanks for sharing your home with all of us. I have a question about your staircase. Did you use any protectant or sealant for the color? I have painted stairs in the past and the paint tends to get damaged from all the foot traffic. Andy advice or suggestions would be great. Thanks!

    So….you put your monogram above the door. Are you the only one who lives in this house? I’m sorry but that is incredibly selfish and absurd. I don’t understand why people fee the need to monogram everything with their own initials. If it was your family’s last name initial ok but my God

      Ummm… that is INCREDIBLY rude but yes, this is my family’s initials. It is most definitely not just my own personal initials. Thanks for your concern. XOXO

        I agree with Cheryl. I am new to your blog and this was the first page I saw. I immediately thought the monogram above the door was your personal initials. I have seen it too many times that people are trying to be cute and monogram everything with personal initials and when its a shared space, it just doesn’t make sense to me.

It may be five years later but this week Ab and I It may be five years later but this week Ab and I are finally finishing this tile! 🙌🏻 In my procrastination defense, I WAS going to put a shelf right there but then I changed my mind... 4 years and 11 months ago now 🤦🏻‍♀️ Better late than never! Excited to make 2021 the year I mark stuff off my list! 💗💗💗 What house project are YOU dying to get done this year?
My home is celebrating it’s 113th birthday and A My home is celebrating it’s 113th birthday and Ab and I are celebrating our first successful project of 2021 AND the first completed week of our new blog schedule! Yep, our penny tile mosaic super detailed tutorial and reveal is LIVE on the blog as well as three more posts this week. Pop over and sign up to follow along! P.S. If you’re wondering why I chose to orient the saying this way, I pondered it for a while. In the end I chose this way because we literally never ever use this back door. Anyone entering our home either comes through the front door where this is visible down the hallway, up the basement stairs where this greets them at the top or around through our laundry room or family room. Basically when your 1908 home has a million exterior doors, most end up going unused. HAPPY FRIDAY!!! ❤️ Oh and P.S.S. This wallpaper, trim color, artwork and all of the tile details are on the post!

Ever feel like you’re going to battle choosing a Ever feel like you’re going to battle choosing a paint color? 🙋🏻‍♀️ Looking for the perfect creamy white/blue-green gray combo and tested out quite a few today. What are your faves of either? Sharing some sneak peeks at our cabin progress and my design plan on stories today! Oh and the full reveal and detailed tutorial of the penny tile mosaic we were working on last week is live on the blog today!
Did a little rustic wood shopping over the weekend Did a little rustic wood shopping over the weekend which meant I just had to snag another cutting board 💗 See it over there looking all cute? I think this one just might be cutting board wall worthy! 😉 Sharing more of my finds on stories today. Several new projects coming soon from my finds too! Also thought I’d take this “cleaned my kitchen just for this picture” opportunity to answer two of my most asked questions... what is your cabinet color and what are your countertops? My cabinets are a 50/50 color mix I created when I was determined to find the perfect blue-gray mix. It’s a full strength, equal mix of SW Stardew and SW Uncertain Gray. My countertops are Calcutta Reale marble and I’m sharing all of my thoughts about marble in a kitchen on the blog! Link in bio!
2021 coming in HOT! 🔥 Ab and I both “showed u 2021 coming in HOT! 🔥 Ab and I both “showed up today” for a full day of work in a full face of makeup and well... THIS. Links anyone? John’s socks are mighty cozy! 🤦🏻‍♀️ Baby steps into the new year. Baby steps. In other news, my closet is next on the list for completion! A few finishing touches and I’ll finally share it all on the blog ❤️
P.S. For those about to ask, the built-ins are a 50/50 mix of SW Stardew and SW Uncertain Gray at full strength just like my kitchen cabinets and main level interior doors and the island is BM Dark Harbour. HAPPY FRIDAY!
Hello 2021! We are back and READY FOR IT ❤️ Ca Hello 2021! We are back and READY FOR IT ❤️ Can’t say I’ll miss 2020 or even 2019 quite honestly. So dang ready for a new year and all kinds of new beginnings. From new projects to new business ventures and all kinds of big personal life changes, hoping 2021 is everything we are all praying it can be. Today on stories we started our first project of 2021 that’ll hit the blog next week and I wrapped up my first soon-to-be weekly inspirational/motivational/personal/raw and super real blog post that’ll be live on Monday. Missed y’all! ❤️❤️❤️
All is Merry & Bright ❤️... My love for renova All is Merry & Bright ❤️... My love for renovations just went pint-sized! I cannot even tell you how much fun Ab and I have had on this mini little renovation. #ad Winter asked for a Barbie dreamhouse for Christmas and I just couldn’t hold back. The only problem was that I only had a day or so to go and we were still wrapping twine for chandeliers and spray painting furniture… oops! Thank GOODNESS for @walmart and Walmart+. By becoming a member of Walmart+, you can save nearly 2.5 hours per week with free delivery from your store on orders $35+ (Savings based on 3 store trips per week. Excludes time spent shopping online. $35 minimum order. Restrictions apply.) With our family Christmas party last night and Winnie at home all week, sneaking off to the store wasn’t really an option. I needed a few extra dollhouse supplies and a few things for the party tonight so I hopped online and logged into my Walmart+ account. Sharing LOTS more on stories today! And, in other exciting news, Walmart+ recently introduced Walmart+ free shipping, no order minimum on items from Walmart.com with two-day or next-day shipping options (Excludes oversized/freight & Marketplace items)! #Walmartplus http://liketk.it/34yWz #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKhome http://liketk.it/34yWT
My very own sidekick WONDER WOMAN 👊🏻 This gi My very own sidekick WONDER WOMAN 👊🏻 This girl right here demoed out this entire cabin with her own two hands in 24 hours. A million pounds of junk and carpet and tack strips and everything in between. We just might have had a little fun on stories today documenting some of it too! Now it’s time for DESIGN!!! Eeeeekkkk!!!! If only y’all could’ve been a fly on the wall watching us take these pix 🤦🏻‍♀️ We finally decided, after a million failed attempts with a tiny phone tripod perched on the hood of my car, to video and then screenshot the best moment. Genius Ab. GENIUS!!!
