(source) As I have shared with you a couple weeks ago, I was and still am in the throws of painting our entry foyer. So of course with new paint in a space comes... yes you know it and so do I... A NEW FURNITURE ARRANGEMENT ...plus the purchase of a few other new items. So I have been perusing the Internet, Google Images being my favorite way to go, looking for some much needed inspiration. I had fun checking out the many beautiful foyer ideas, so I thought I'd share with you a few that really caught my eye. Here we go in no particular order... I just adore the cozy feel of this first pic from Southern Living. (I can imagine the palms outside that little window swaying away in a warm gentle southern breeze.) (source) And I am really crushing on this wood and iron railing. Thinking that maybe just what is needed on our staircase. Isn't it pretty? (source) This next entry is cozy as can be and wonderfully charming. (source) Vanessa from the blog At the Picket Fence, shows off her elegant foyer. She strikes the perfect balance between wall art and furnishings. (source) You know the saying...Go Big or Go Home! This is not the entry to the home, excuse me, mansion, it is actually on the second floor, however it very well could be a foyer. This is the Blairsden Mansion, one of the largest privately owned homes in the country, located in Peapack-Gladstone NJ. I went on a tour of this magnificent place last May. If you would like to see the entire mansion tour just click here. And now for something really striking! (Or should I say "Striping"?) (source) This next foyer is my hands down favorite. I love the architectural detail of the walls, ceiling and doorway casings, which seems to render this space absolutely timeless! (source) And who doesn't adore StoneGable farmhouse? Yvonne has the most amazing style and her entry is simply stunning! Don't you love her new chair? I'd want to park myself in that chair for hours just to sit and admire her lovely farmhouse inspired home. (source) Here's another entry idea from Pottery Barn. I've recently noticed that I am drawn to the idea and look of gallery walls. To me they tell a story. And finally this last entry, which is way way way out of my reach, I had to share because I think it is just beautiful! (source) So there you have it! Some wonderful inspiration for me to mull over in my mind. I do have a few ideas of what I'd like to do in our foyer, I just need to play around with them over the next few days. But in the meantime, I am wishing you all a very happy last week of February! Come on SPRING! XO
