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

      September 3, 2017 at 10:26 am

      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.

I have STRUGGLED to figure out a window treatment I have STRUGGLED to figure out a window treatment solution in my bathroom. The shower butts right up to the window trim, so a typical curtain rod was out but I knew I wanted some kind of drapery to soften all of the hard elements in the bathroom. Cue this STUNNING acrylic curtain rod from @calicocorners to solve all of my problems. It is sleek, streamline and adds a subtle nod to the other “glam" selections that went with this space. Calico now has a quick ship custom option that offers their same quality on window treatments! You get the custom look without the custom wait!

Life Hack… marry your bestie and a good life jus Life Hack… marry your bestie and a good life just becomes that much sweeter 💗 My laugh lines have become much deeper and happy weight really is a thing but I wouldn’t trade it for the absolute WORLD. Cheers to almost three years of togetherness and one year of true marital bliss this Saturday with my soulmate. I never imagined I’d be right here right now literally, figuratively, mentally and emotionally but I’ll take it! 😉 He’s my confidant, my lover, my very best friend and my safe place to fall. Thank y’all for following along on our Summer adventures once again. Two more weeks to go and then once I get my new phone loaded back up (it was stolen at the Rome train station for those who missed that on my stories), I’ll have some fun new home stuff to share as well! But in the meantime, follow along on our travels over on stories! 🇫🇷

Currently daydreamin about a cozy cabin weekend… Currently daydreamin about a cozy cabin weekend… and just like that, only fifteen months later, our cabin is COMPLETE! Lolol. #ad I think all of those late nights and long weekends of demo and construction equate to quite a few cozy cabin weekends. In case you missed it, I blogged our cabin kitchen makeover a few weeks ago and I am IN LOVE… I get my vintagy European style “unkitchen” while John rocks out to Led Zeppelin and the kiddos play games on the refrigerator. The best of both worlds! Yep, our @SamsungUS 4-Door Flex Refrigerator with Family Hub not only has more space and features, but it also has sleek design I LOVE and Wi-Fi Connectivity!
