Come on over!!!
I FINALLY have a few pictures of the house to show. I thought we would start with the obvious, the foyer!! While we are loving our new house and the extra space there is so much I want to change to make it "our home".
A few updates that will be coming soon is paint. While brown is a safe color and it is not the worst color, it is just not "us" and is much too dark. If anyone wants to come join the painting party, just let me know. I am not looking forward to paining these tall ceilings!
This is what the view is coming in from the front door. No worries the end table will not stay there! I am still trying to plan out the decor for this area. Thinking a small table/sideboard an a little chair?
Plans for the long term include:
1. Hardwood floors on the main level and up the stairs. I am thinking of wide planks with a darker finish. If you know me I do not like carpet. Not the look, not the cleaning, not the worrying of my kids staining it. I am hoping new floors are in the plans for the next year or so.
2. New chandelier in the foyer. I am in no rush for this, however, I have many favorites at Restoration Hardware, including this beauty.
3. Remove the popcorn ceilings. My family thinks I am crazy, but I have researched this and it doesn't seem to hard, more messy than anything. This is a long term plan since if I start it, I will have to complete for the entire house!
4. Update the front door.
5. I also have ideas to paint the railing black like the pictures below. I might be too scared to ever take this leap, but I am not ruling it out!
