My Foyer

I thought I would let you see some pictures of my foyer. It used to be tan and I thought it looked too blah so a few months ago I painted it and the dining room a yellow gold color. It definitely brightened it up! It turned out more yellow than I wanted, but I like it. I wanted more of a tuscan gold, but I am going to keep it the way it is for now.





Saying I printed out and framed, can change it out for the seasons or for whatever mood I'm in



I like to recover lampshades with pretty fabric and trim. It's hard for me to have a plain lampshade. I'm always looking for an excuse to buy some fabric!



Mirror over door leading into living room



I got the doorway brackets (above picture) from Hobby Lobby. I LOVE HOBBY LOBBY! I bought 12 of them, spray painted them white, and hung them in 6 of my doorways. I love how they turned out. I like easy and inexpensive projects that make a difference and that people actually notice.

My foyer light is an outdoor light from Lowe's.




Black mirror, wall pocket of poppies, and rug







One more thing to show you - my son's play yard that is between the foyer and dining room. I'm sure many of you can relate to how much stuff comes into your house when you have a baby!



I hope you enjoyed the pictures of my foyer. I am new to uploading pictures so I'll have to practice and get better at it. Some of you bloggers out there do such a great job that I'm sure I'll pale in comparison. But, maybe I can learn from you. Have a wonderful day!
