Double-Wide in the Sky: Foyer

Such an ARTSY-FARTSY FOYER!

I LOVE IT!

It's a space that just screams who we are as people.... as a family.... as a loving unit.

A place, that within the first couple seconds of stepping foot into our home.... you know who WE ARE and you know how YOU will be LOVED and embraced. I hope that's the case... anyway.

The entrance is painted a different color than the main living area. It's painted the same Martha Stewart Driftwood Gray as our Master Bedroom {which you can also see from the main living area} and our pantry.

The guest bathroom, my office and our son's room are located off of the foyer. The colors of those rooms compliment the gray and bring in the greens and blues throughout the rest of the house.

The tree stump side table {or stool} was a DIY project. Whenever I need to, I just pull it out from under the console table and use it. It has come in handy as both a table and a stool!

We LOVE our art.

This church painting is of the Methodist Church in Downtown Fort Worth. It was painted by a local artist and hung in the Dallas Love Field Airport. I found it at an antique store, of all places! The booth owner was very kind to me and gave me a great deal on it {All you have to do is ask. They can always say no.} I was one happy puppy when I brought this home!

The large St. Michael wood statue is hand-carved and hand-painted. It is a gorgeously unique work of art and compliments the painting EXTREMELY well. My cousin brought it with him from Guatemala.... so it is not only beautiful, but it has such a sentimental component for me as well.

I love to collect clear glass paperweights. Here is a small grouping on the console table.

The brass owls were a great vintage find. I LOVE them!

The lamp was from HomeGoods and lampshade was one that was revamped!

The console table came from a consignment store and the other vintage accessories came from either antique stores or thrift shops.

This other painting holds A LOT of sentimental value. It was given to us by my in-laws. They had picked it up in the first few years they were located in the Dominican Republic {over 40 years ago}.. They passed it onto us a long time ago. I had it reframed as a birthday gift for my hubby and it now greets him every time he comes home.

The mirrors I found at various places: HomeGoods, Flea Markets, Consignment Stores and Amazon.com! I love each and everyone.

I don't know why, but we really enjoy these little guys. Separate, they are creepy. Together, they are {... well, still a little creepy.... but....} fun!

The antique pagoda mirror was an awesome find at my favorite consignment store. It is amazing! I have wanted something like this for a l-o-n-g time! It is a perfect fit, too. And it reflects more light at a crucial point in the foyer. Some things are worth the wait.

The lamps came from Hemisphere several years back. They seem to be pretty timeless and they compliment the mirror nicely.

Tho Foo Dogs, believe it or not, are extremely affordable and come from ZGallerie! The teal color works quite well with the rest of the pieces of art in the foyer and it continues the flow into the living space which also showcases these colors.
