A's Foyer

A's foyer ...

They say, “You don’t get a second chance to make a first impression!” and the foyer is the place for first impressions! 

For me, the first priority would be the lighting. She has done a great job of picking a neutral updated color, it would change the entire feel of the foyer if we could update the lights. 

Here are a few lights that I suggest and affordable price points. 

This sconce would be beautiful on the wall by the stairs! https://www.lowes.com/pd/Safavieh-Jaxson-17-5-in-W-2-Light-Brass-Gold-French-Country-Cottage-Wall-Sconce/1000786928

And this would be a beautiful chandelier to hang over the foyer. https://www.overstock.com/Lighting-Ceiling-Fans/Safavieh-Telta-10Lt-Chandelier/29882551/product.html?TID=Prod%3APin_Friend

Here are a couple of ideas to update the space...

•Removing the iron artwork above the door would be great; letting the door breathe a little. 

•Avoid adding anything above the large opening. 

•Add some board and baton to the walls near the stairs... sort of like this...

Here are some other pictures that inspire me when purchasing a rug, plant/tree, or art work. 

Maybe these rugs?

 I saw these at Target the other day- around $20

Some muted vintage prints would be pretty too...
