My Foyer.....(Via Made By Girl)

Ok, so here's a look at my foyer. When I thought about DECORATING this area, I knew I wanted something simple, yet GLAMOROUS looking!! 

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!!

  2. I am green with envy at your foyer. I wish I had a foyer, and I can only dream of one half as good-looking.

    You are doing a great job.

    Enjoy your weekend!

  4. Yum! I'm a big fan of the high ceilings. Great look with the zebra rug. Is it secured to the floor somehow?

    Flowers would def do the trick! Loving the horsehair brush, too!

  10. 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 :)

  11. So great! I love that lamp, the zebra rug and your high ceilings!

    Have a great Halloween weekend!

  12. This is so beautiful! I see hot pink daisies on the console...a bright pop of color. I am in love with your entry!

  13. I'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.

  14. Love it! Absolutely KILLER! Great job lady!

  15. It looks amazing, Jen!!
    The 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 :)

  19. Your mirror is something to be seriously jealous of. Love the whole look!

    ReplyDelete
  20. loooove everything especially your front door!

    ReplyDelete
  21. Jen..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?

    Something 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

    ReplyDelete
  22. LOVE it. You had me at glamorous! The mirror is such a statement piece!

    ReplyDelete
  23. Looks amazing! Great choices!

    ReplyDelete
  28. It's great, Jen! I absolutely LOVE your floors!

    And, I am still hunting that "I Married Adventure" book!

  29. 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 :-)

  30. is this your new home?! OMG. i'm in love.

    ReplyDelete
  31. i have four of those huge paint brushes. dont you just love those. did you get yours from homegoods too?

    ReplyDelete
  32. Jen 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

  46. I really like it! I would do a cool, metallic type wallpaper behind the mirror and console. I think that would look good.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Love 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!!

  59. Ok.. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  60. The atoll mirror is one of my absolute favorites! I'm saving up for that one!

    ReplyDelete
  61. AMAZING! Love your black and white theme xx

    ReplyDelete
  62. AMANDA: Of course it turns on :))
    I 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!

  64. 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.

  65. 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!

  66. This 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.

  67. I just saw a side table similar to this on Craigslist! Great mirror...don't think I'll find that one on CL!!!

    ReplyDelete
  68. I 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! :-)

    I'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!

  74. 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.

  75. Love 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 :)

    ReplyDelete
  76. PEARLGIRL: I like that idea and I love the colors you suggested...thanks! :))

    ReplyDelete
  77. Oh 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!

    Even 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!

    ReplyDelete
  78. 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!!!
