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!

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.

As I always say, the only journeys and experiences As I always say, the only journeys and experiences I can… and do… share are that of my own. And today it’s last week’s journey of my explant, lift and recovery. As someone who was “born” with big boobs, had implants to fill what I’d lost to weight loss and nursing to now having explanted to a much smaller size, I’ve been happy with every step along the way. It’s all been what I had or felt I needed or wanted at each stage of life and I’m not one to ever look back and have regrets. It’s just that at this stage of life, I decided the next step for me was to shed some chest. And kind of a lot of it. From a size 32G to a yet to be fully determined 32B-C! To be super honest, the pondering and deciding was by the far the longest and hardest part. With no direct reason for doing so (thankfully)… rather a combination of them from possible health issues 🤞🏻 associated with my implants to the usual back/shoulder pain to just a growing desire to get them out, I’ve felt a bit indecisive and very nervous. But last week I finally did it and I’m so happy I did! Women have so many worries and pressures and insecurities so if this has been on your pondering list as well, I’m just here to tell you that it wasn’t that bad. Any body change takes some getting used to but not gonna lie, shedding that top heavy feeling has been rather fabulous. And the cute little tops and bras I can now wear feel like icing on the cake! So from your always raw and honest IG bestie, thank y’all so much for following along and for all of the love and well wishes on stories. Means the WORLD 🫶🏻
Forget drenching your hands with straight acetone… and the hour and a half SNS process… try this and you’ll never go back! Yep, it’s the “old school” tips method but with your own nails. Takes so much less time and although still not exactly CLEAN, it’s way better than an acetone hand bath every two weeks. Plus, they’re actually much smoother too!
