Home Tour: Foyer

I am FINALLY ready to do our home tour I said a would do a year ago!

I plan to do a room a week, most likely on Wednesday or Thursday each week, with the exception of this week.... :)

Welcome to Our Home!

We will begin in the foyer.... HERE WE GO!!

Building a home and decorating from scratch is a pretty stressful experience (poor pitiful me, I know;). But do not get me wrong, it was so much fun, just A LOT of decisions that we sometimes had to make on the spot. A lot of times the builder gives you a few options to choose from but we were blessed to have Lee's uncle build our home (who is amazing) and we could choose ANYTHING we wanted! Which is wonderful, but like I said, it was sometimes difficult to make a final decision with endless options.  There are decisions as simple as choosing a door knob to make, but you want it to be perfect so you put a lot of thought into that silly door knob! :)

Hope you enjoy and as always, any questions feel free to ask! 

I will try to cover as much detail as possible:)

Notice a little lion tail in the bottom right corner... it was all I could to keep him out of the pictures! He knows he's just too cute.... Little stinker :)

Notice the over sized platform. In the original plans, that was a closet & there was not a window. I wanted the outside of the house to be even with a window on each side of the door (imagine that) so we changed it. It actually is a neat little area. I plan to do a coat rack or something unique in that area. (Ideas always welcome;)

We chose a size larger on the columns than you see in most houses. It was honestly an accident, but I'm so glad I made that mistake now...

This is taken from our catwalk.

We wanted a catwalk where you could look over the banister at the foyer on one side and you can see the family room looking over the other side.

• Mirrored table- Pier One
• Lamps- Pier One
• Flower/basket under table- also Pier One
• Lanterns/and candles- Hobby Lobby (50% off, of course;)
• Rug- Homegoods

Projects still to complete in this room:

• Coat rack on the platform/something unique in the other corner
• Possibly one day I will do a large collage of pictures going up the stairs... OR maybe when we have 3 munchkins I can do 3 large canvases going up the stairs. (ANYWAY, something will eventually be done though) A few inspirations via PINTEREST (of course;):

Obviously it wouldn't be straight, but something similar to this...

OR

Large canvases similar to these.... LOVE...

 Hope you enjoyed!
I have paint colors and all that good stuff if anyone is interested... I didn't want to bore you with all that unless you need it!:)

Next week, we will tour the powder room!

HAVE A BLESSED Friday!
