Styling the Foyer


A quick follow up post to show you what I decided...this basket!  Small, round, lidded...I know it wasn't an option!  What can I say? I read all your comments, then I dug around some more and found this guy in the upstairs office! (Originally from Salvation Army)

I also tried this rug from goodwill.   I still love it, but can't find a place for it in the house.   I am keeping the grey Weinrib in the foyer...

Also, I wanted to shout out to Lisa, who popped by today to pick up a few things from the garage sale.  I may have bungled my first impression!  Do over! Do over!  I was a bit awkward in my messy house and didn't even offer you something to drink!  (or a chair)...anyways, it was a pleasure to meet you!!

  1. Great choice on the basket - love it. The scale, texture and colour are great.

  2. The medallion rug still works better in your foyer.

  3. haha that is a hilarious first impression recap! But PS - if your foyer looks like that, I'm sure she didn't notice anything but! it's gorgeous...I'm especially jealous of your thin rad, and all the gorgeous light!

  5. Love that foyer! So neat and clean! Love all you choices! Thanks for visiting and commenting on my Paris post! It was a dream of a lifetime trip - but now we want to go back - we're allowed two dream of a lifetime trips aren't we??? :)

  7. Oh as if....you were a great host considering I showed up at your house slightly unexpected while you were just arriving with two busy kiddies! Your house is ahhh-mazing....so much gorgeous natural light! I felt slightly like a stalker walking through your house, as I feel like I've been there a million times before, and that I know so much about you given we've never met!! Either way, we should do it again before my mat leave milage runs out!!! Thanks for the stuff - I'll do a post about it soon!

  9. The chair is from West Elm...
    Our designer did this room! I painted the console shiny black...and added the little black chair in corner of stairs, the vases, the plant, the basket...but the bones (art, rug, furniture, mirror) were shopped for by a designer 3 years ago!!!
