Foyer Updates


Blue and White in the Foyer
 
Wow!  It’s been over 2 months since I last posted!  Time flies and even though I haven’t posted doesn’t mean that I haven’t made changes to our home!  The foyer got a few minor updates.  I added a few more blue and white pieces to the sideboard.  I added the rope ball for a touch of texture and to bring a little southern coastal style to this area.
 
Rosedown Plantation in the Foyer
 
I was so excited to purchased two of these trivets at the local auction for $2.50!  It features a local historical site called Rosedown Plantation.  To take a tour, click here.

The boxwood wreath is originally from Target but I purchased it from Dirt Cheap for a couple of dollars.
 
Using baskets as storage in Foyer
 
The sideboard is the perfect size to store my crystal and silver punch bowls.  I purchased the basket from Marshall’s and it is the perfect spot for the white tablecloths.

The other size of our small foyer had me stumped for awhile.  It’s been changing for quite a few months but I think, for now at least, I am satisfied with it.

The pelican painting, which is our Louisiana state bird, was purchased from the local resale site.  The umbrella stand adds a pop of color that I love!  It’s perfect to hold our small but growing collection of canes.  I’ve been collecting for quite a few years but they were stored in the coat closet.  Now they are on display!

Small Foyer Changes

The foyer in our home is very small and it can be challenging to decorate.  Before there was a small 3 drawer chest. 

 

 

Once the walls were painted a very light gray, I didn’t like the chest, so I painted it.  Since I still didn’t like it, I started watching for a piece at the auction that I could use in this area.

I found the perfect size piece, a small sideboard!

It now holds the punch bowls!

The silver tray was also purchased at an auction and the blue/white pieces are all garage sale finds!  The taller legs on the sideboard give the small area a more open feel.
