Edit
WHAT'S MISSING?!?!? Flowers!
Trust me, I realize I NEED a pop of color, so I'll be buying fresh flowers every week to place on the console. I REALLY think flowers will brighten things up!
The cool black & silver studded lamp is from Home Goods & the 2 drawer console table is from Target. The Atoll mirror is even more pretty in person....from Ballard Designs.
PIGGY is by designer Harry Allen via Areaware.
Above: Yes, I did say I had high ceilings throughout my house, especially in my entryway. That's my front door....it's such a cool and tall arched door, I love it.
Originally, I thought of buying a WHITE console, but I think that would've been overkill! I absolutely love the ZEBRA hide rug, it makes the entryway look even more dramatic and it helps protect my floors when my DOGS run down to the foyer! Let me know what you think...I'll be reading!!

LOVE!! i am still not convinced that this gorg house is in LV!!
ReplyDeleteI am green with envy at your foyer. I wish I had a foyer, and I can only dream of one half as good-looking.
ReplyDeleteYou are doing a great job.
BELISSIMO!!
ReplyDeleteI adore it Jen! The mirror was well worth the investment. Flowers will be the perfect finishing touch!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your weekend!
Yum! I'm a big fan of the high ceilings. Great look with the zebra rug. Is it secured to the floor somehow?
ReplyDeleteFlowers would def do the trick! Loving the horsehair brush, too!
ERIKA: We're getting a pad for it soon... :)
ReplyDeletewow ...love the aerial view ...the tall ceilings are so vast and fab.
ReplyDeleteI love the zebra rug. I also like the black console. I think white would have been too much.
ReplyDeletewowza. so super duper jealous of your entry. gorg.
ReplyDeleteYour entryway is very similar to mine!!!!

I have no new pics but I will take some next week!
I really like your mirror!
It looks gorgeous! I'm so envious of your high ceilings and white walls. I have a piece from the same line as your Target console, but changed the knobs with Anthropologie ones. It added lots of interest. Just a tip :)
ReplyDeleteSo great! I love that lamp, the zebra rug and your high ceilings!
ReplyDeleteHave a great Halloween weekend!
This is so beautiful! I see hot pink daisies on the console...a bright pop of color. I am in love with your entry!
ReplyDeleteI'm willing to move to Nevada if I can get a house w/ gorgeous high ceilings like that. LOVE what you've done w/ the place so far! My flower suggestion: A beautiful Orchid.
ReplyDeleteLove it! Absolutely KILLER! Great job lady!
ReplyDeleteIt looks amazing, Jen!!
ReplyDeleteThe high ceilings are so gorgeous.
Colourful fresh flowers make such a huge difference - I just put a purple and white bunch on my desk and it makes it a much happier place to be while I study :)
Jen its gorgeous, and that staircase is beyond incredible!!
ReplyDeletelove the foyer....so cute!

Where is your white pig from ? Love it the most!
ReplyDeleteLooks great, love the height and black and white. A girl after my own (interiors) heart!
Your mirror is something to be seriously jealous of. Love the whole look!
ReplyDeleteloooove everything especially your front door!
ReplyDeleteJen..youve done a fantastic job..LOVE IT..and yes your right..a pop of colour is all it needs..and flowers are perfect...I was going to suggest something glass...just to add another texture to the arrangement as it always looks so perfect teamed up with black..perhaps a glass vase with flowers?
ReplyDeleteSomething under the console would look kinda cool too...an umbrella stand? or basket or small rustic wooden stool..to compliment your earthy African pieces on your console?
Glad you found the perfect spot for your piggy :)
Love the way its all coming together..you are getting through so much in such a small space of time..awesome job honey xo
LOVE it. You had me at glamorous! The mirror is such a statement piece!
ReplyDeleteLooks amazing! Great choices!
ReplyDeleteI love it! Even without the flowers. And love that great mirror. Looks perfect in your home and I love it in Julie's entry too.

LOVE it! It is so simple yet the pieces you chose make it stand it out. The Rug is seriously awesome
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous. I love your reflection in the mirror too!
ReplyDeleteIt's great, Jen! I absolutely LOVE your floors!
ReplyDeleteAnd, I am still hunting that "I Married Adventure" book!
Just gorgous. I love the cow/zebra rug. That was a nice surprise, as it wasn't in the first photo and it relly brings in the look. The studed lamp is just divine, its so different. And gee you have a lot of wonderful readers with all their super ideas. I agree something under the console, and perhaps changing the handles on the console. Lovely to see your new place come along :-)
ReplyDeleteis this your new home?! OMG. i'm in love.
ReplyDeletei have four of those huge paint brushes. dont you just love those. did you get yours from homegoods too?
ReplyDeleteJen I'm loving this. Again so in love with just the space let alone what you are putting in it too! I agree a pop of colour would look great and flowers are perfect but I still think it makes a great impact even without the colour. LOVE the mirror xx
ReplyDeleteHi! Your whole house is absolutely STUNNING! I love every square inch of it :)
ReplyDeleteI love this so much I am going to feature it on my blog -- hope that is ok!

It looks great! I'm still jealous you got your hands on a Harry Allen pig. I might just need to get one for my own place. And that hide is gorgeous!

ReplyDeleteLove your blog!
Have a nice weekend!:)
all you need is a small arrangement of peonies and the look will be complete!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous foyer!!! May I ask you where u got the pig? I'm obsessed with pigs and would love something similar.
ReplyDeleteI really like it! I would do a cool, metallic type wallpaper behind the mirror and console. I think that would look good.
ReplyDeleteLove a zebra in the foyer! I will never be over them. What a chic entrance - love the white walls. Yes flowers...there's no better welcoming committee!!
ReplyDeleteSILVER LIPS: the PIGGY is by designer Harry Allen, you can get one in many colors here:

love it all. good move with the black console and the zebra rug. they look great and i can't believe some of your sources, target and homegoods, are you kidding! you're my kind of girl. way to go, you are doing an awesome job.
ReplyDeletei'm sure you get many gasps from people when they come to visit:)
omg... such a perfect post!! I should send a pic of my foyer.. looks SO similar (floors, walls, even light fixtures!) .. but it's empty right now. LOVE what you've done with it! Thanks for the inspo!

ReplyDeleteOk.. one question.... is that lamp actually plugged in and functioning?? .. I always battle with unsightly cords but wondered if you put a lamp there even if you can't turn it on??? ... cause I luv it.
ReplyDeleteit's gorgeous! pam
ReplyDeleteThe atoll mirror is one of my absolute favorites! I'm saving up for that one!
ReplyDeleteAMAZING! Love your black and white theme xx
ReplyDeleteAMANDA: Of course it turns on :))
ReplyDeleteI actually attached the cord with a tiny wire to the console leg ...so now you cant really see it as much. But yes, it's plugged in. :))
Thanks!
Interesting to read and see black and white combo, its awesome!

I love your entry, very dramatic. I really adore the mirror. Would you consider putting an uphostered x stool under the table in a bright color such as pink or yellow. It is nice to have a seat in the entry.
ReplyDeleteAmy R.
Jen, it is absolutely beautiful! I do a lot of black and white in my home, so I'm partial towards what you've done. :) I think that fresh flowers will be the perfect accent. I love all of these photos of the new house!
ReplyDeleteThis foyer is simple, clean lined, and beautiful. It shows off elegance and taste without boasting it. I came across your post this morning while browsing interior design blogs and your take on interior décor is exquisite. Have you considered dressing your windows in such a way as well? It is true that you must dress your windows appropriately to bring out their true beauty.

ReplyDeleteI just saw a side table similar to this on Craigslist! Great mirror...don't think I'll find that one on CL!!!
ReplyDeleteI adore it too! I think something like a large piece of pottery underneath the table in a lighter color would be a great touch too! :-)
ReplyDeleteI've been working on my house a lot lately and there is just so many things to consider when "going for it". You do it well!
Ok so I know I am late but I LOVE your foyer and the high ceils are to die for.
ReplyDeleteLove that lamp! You did a wonderful job.
ReplyDeleteI really think the zebra rug just ties everything together :) Flowers would make it look even more stunning!
ReplyDeleteI am flipping out!!! Your entryway is gorgeous!!!!
ReplyDeleteLuvs!
So stilysh the zebra carpet.
ReplyDeleteI would really like to have one!!!
http://petitepoohmonamour.blogspot.com/
Love what you've done with your foyer - the mirror is gorgeous! Another POP of color?...maybe a small stool - or two - in aqua or turqoise.
ReplyDeleteLove it .. even without the flowers. I have a similar console table in my foyer .. in white (against a blue mettalic paint finish). LOVE the BLACK console look :)
ReplyDeletePEARLGIRL: I like that idea and I love the colors you suggested...thanks! :))
ReplyDeleteOh how fun to be decorating your new place! I have to say the foyer is GREAT Jen! Fresh flowers will really make that console pop!
ReplyDeleteEven a house plant (to save on the $ of buying flowers weekly) would look great on the console table in a colorful pot, or even a neutral one would make the green of the plant really shine!
The zebra rug is perfection. What a score on that cute lamp too!
Clearly I am in agreement with all of the other comments, but your place rocks!! I love the dark wood floors and white walls. Oh and that zebra rug is perfect!! Fantastic job!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a grand entrance, love it! I am so happy you got the hardwood floor you so wanted, hope you feel like home and be very happy at your new place!
ReplyDeleteSO FANTASTIC! I love me some black and white!! xx
ReplyDeleteThis looks amazing! Where is the rug from?
ReplyDeleteHello i just joined your blog because of your black & white entryway decor...
