Lynn, I love how your daughter used so many books and her soft touch with the spiderwebs makes it look so realistic. She did a fantastic job on the foyer. Look out, soon she'll take over all YOUR decorating & leave you out in the cold!!! Janet1, besides being enablers, we also encourage you to shop the after-holiday sales if you really want to start your collection. Also, garage sales, if you're into that. My GD & I went to one after school in the next town (which is only 8 mins from my house). They were having a pre-view sale from 3:30 til dark tonite. They had two tables full of Halloween, a sun-room full of xmas & Valentines, so GD cleaned up there. She kept saying "oh that's soooo cute, can I get it" and of course I said YES. She has more to add to her decor now. She also scarfed up 3 new pair of Halloween socks, a gorgeous orange & decorated Halloween sweatshirt for $2 and some new Halloween earrings. One is a black jelly bean & the other is orange. Too cute! I got a few things earlier today, you'll have to wait for my table to see them!!! I really need to get on it soon, or Halloween will be over. I'm hoping this weekend!!! Again, Lynn, your daughter did a really great foyer!

I would get a new runner first.

@Lizzie Borden It sounds like you want a mud room type of entryway have you considered purchasing an entryway cubby https://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Prepac-Wide-Hall-Tree-and-Bench-with-Shoe-Storage/20169626/product.html?kwds=entryway%20cubby&refccid=KCNQ3LH4TY23HKSNS7EY6HYHAE&rfmt=&searchidx=13 https://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Harper-3Pc-Entryway-Set-66-W-x-16.38-D-x-74-H/31297784/product.html?refccid=FF3UGXGD3AY35SSBGJKO3TDASM&searchidx=0&kwds=Harper%203-piece%20Slim%20Hall%20Tree%20Entryway%20Set%20-%2066%26quot%3BW%20x%2016.38%26quot%3BD%20x%2074%26quot%3BH&rfmt= https://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/ROSEN-GARDEN-Hall-Tree-Coat-Rack-Shoe-Storage-Bench-with-Shoe-Cubbies/33121208/product.html?refccid=XMIJ4XFFIIFZRR2ESTIAIW3AHE&searchidx=84&kwds=entryway%20cubby&rfmt=

Not a fan of the arched opening. I think I would close it up and get a beautiful chest and mirror or painting for that spot.
