The entry/foyer in a home should reflect your personality and style, as well as hint at what to expect in adjoining spaces. Without seeing what you've done elsewhere we'd just be working blind trying to give you ideas. It is a tall space, so a large piece of casegoods would probably do well, but it should echo the style note of your other spaces. The electric is there already, but you may not need it. I'd replace those lights with something else once the right piece is located. Don't forget the impact of great art in an entry.

Thanks!

Maybe bigger scones ......it looks pretty formal with that floor and panel/molding work.... then just a massive piece of abstract art on the wall and maybe a beautiful rug, since that is your entry way. You can ever go wrong with a long table in the entry but I am into less than more these days. Your home looks spectacular. I am green.

Do you still have the large holes left from removing those sconces last year? Or did you replace them yet?

Largish artwork between sconces and a bench or console table underneath.

Beesneeds- I am embarrased to say - Yes still have the holes :(

Select an interesting antique sideboard, maybe of Chinese style, add a mirror with antiqued silver glass and some new, larger wall mounted sconces.

SOOOO many options here. You could do a long upholstered bench with a big framed piece of art on the wall above. You could add a console table with a mirror and some pretty table top objects. If you have the room, add a side chair on either side of the table. And yes, change out the sconce fixtures for something more sophisticated. See examples below:

Wells bells Amy...

If you still have those couple arched mirrors from other postings and haven' filled those holes with sconces yet.. And YES! you can still build in a big ole bookshelf in that area too..

Get radical. Put up those mirrors to center on new sconces- it will require some glass cutting to do it. Find a good local cabinet/wood maker to build you a centerpiece of a bookshelf upper, with some lower bench/sitting bits.

I would suggest doing it up on legs instead of flush to the floor. And keep the woodwork in mind, fit the whole thing to that, like it was always built in there.

If the opposite? wall of other posts of yours still have that gorgeous framework and hanging lights... Open that up too with mirrors, perhaps a coathook/ bench space to mirror the bookcase.. but not necessarily the same mirrors- coordinate rather than match. Hanging lights to work with the sconces on the bookcase wall.
