Comments (6)kan A friend of mine just did this in her 1920 something colonial that had no definition for the front foyer - just walked into living room - so she divided w/a pony wall with colums at either end - also a wide opening to enter living room - Similiar to this - but it's on 2 sides http://image58.webshots.com/758/5/73/39/2434573390058827873itpdMx_ph.jpg http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://lh4.ggpht.com/_D4pYBzhvclk/RwBDo3b8OOI/AAAAAAAAAE4/RmJaruC9Xo8/IMG_0065.JPG&imgrefurl=http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/Y-aM_h05V3gG45duxHXqMg&usg=__hK0oUaEFz4egj3JqYnzBIMQKkeE=&h=1600&w=1200&sz=9&hl=en&start=1&sig2=b5sL2HJ-9uCQEZx_U7RgNg&tbnid=6S2GN270C6QLWM:&tbnh=150&tbnw=113&ei=_0mwSe3LOdvFmQevkMDtBQ&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dhalf%2Bwall%2Bwith%2Bcolumns%26gbv%3D2%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DG...See MorePlease help me pick an entry way tile!
Comments (7)Based on your preferences, I'm going to double down on my two suggestions. I don't think large tile will work on your small area, and I definitely don't think you should do it because it's popular. A tile should match the size of the space. Anything that small with that many corners will also have lots of weird cuts in the tile, and you might end up having to have something like a 2" strip of tile at one side of the room. Large tile is also more expensive to install and more prone to "lippage" because it's harder to make it straight. The cost of Chevron/herringbone is higher. But it will also help hide the weirdness of cutting tiles around all the stairs etc. You would also need a fairly experienced tile guy for this job, not the lowest bid. Only you can decide if it's worth it to you to do Chevron. Note that brick is a bit more difficult to clean, but they make sealers you can put on them, kind of like for basketball court floors. I just think your space is reasonably small and you have the opportunity to make the floor a great statement, so you should :) http://homeguides.sfgate.com/tile-installation-pricing-54070.html...See MoreNeed help with a small entry way.

Comments (7)I don't mind the table and mirror and can't really think of anything besides art that would fit on that wall. Can't see the table details well but could it be painted? How about red to match your lovely door? What would say "fresh and cozy" to you for that space? Have you thought of a new light fixture? A runner and a larger rug in the entrance could look good. I don't find the clock visible from the door to be welcoming so I'd be tempted to remove it....See MorePlease help my Entry Way which Cabinet? Pics in Comments
Comments (8)You don't have room for either cabinet by the door. You open the door and walk directly into the cabinet. Your entry will look much better and more spacious with just the antique mirror on the wall. Leave the floor clear. That also allows you to turn your rug the other direction so it fits the doorway....See MoreBeth H. :
