Update on foyer table
I just wanted to update you guys on my foyer. It was suggested several times that I put a more substantial table there. I think I was throwing myself off because I kept trying to put something smaller there. Anyway, I started searching for a console with more oomph. I fell in love with one I found online but it was way too much $$$ and it was too long for my wall anyway. I showed my hubby and he said he could make it! Well, we just finished it. I might add that I believe it is too a bit too tall (something we discussed during the build but he didn't listen). Lol! He said he can cut the legs down for me if I would like. What do you guys think? I also would love input on styling the top as I'm terrible at that! I thought about a lamp but then what else with it? I would do two lamps but my dining room is open to the foyer and has two lamps on the buffet which I thought might be too repetitive but idk. I'm also not opposed to changing out the mirror if needed.

Foyer update and a question
Comments (24)Thanks everyone! I am leaving it uncovered. I think a basket will bring in the texture I'm looking for. enailes: I thought of putting the rug in front of the door, but decided against it because I wanted to highlight the sitting area, not the front door. Would have loved a rug to fill the entire space, but it would have to be custom bound. That's just not in the budget right now....See MoreEntry foyer update
Comments (2)Nice changes. I have three suggestions. The wall hanging is too high - it needs to come down and feel more connected with the sideboard - that will also make the upturning corners less noticeable. Second, I would change out the candle for something in a rusty red or a teal. Third, a darker shade on the lamp might be nicer, rather than the light, patterned one there now. I think it would help to connect between the dark trim on the wall hanging and the darker wood tones of the floor and the front of the cabinet....See MoreHow do I update/decorate my foyer?
Comments (6)I would move your bench over closer to the light switch so that it is not covering part of your stairs. Then i would put a pretty plant on the stair side of your bench. A rug is needed so maybe a longer one like you have in front of the door, so that it comes in front of your bench, Love your bench....See MoreHelp with ideas for kitchen and foyer tile update.
Comments (0)We are replacing our tile floors and need suggestions that will work with existing adjacent wood floors. Looking at light cream and beige tiles in a larger size than original 12 by 12. Also considered a wood look ceramic tile and also replace wood in family room off the kitchen ( but we want to keep the wood in the front rooms off the entry/foyer area. We have pets so I like the durability of tile in kitchen area. Any suggestions (pros and cons) appreciated. I don’t want to make a costly design mistake....See More

Just to brag on him a little he made the built-in bench and added the wainscoting trim to the wall that you see to the left of our stairs. We plan on doing the chair rail and wainscoting to the rest of the hall eventually.
