I live in a cottage neighborhood filled with homes mostly built in the 1930's. All of the houses share a similar original floor plan and over the years younger families have moved in and added their "touch" to make them a little different from the rest. One thing that hasn't really changed about our homes is the lack of a grand foyer - well, any foyer really. A few of the lucky ones have slightly larger entries, but not grand by any stretch.
This is what our "foyer" looked like a year ago.
Then I added the
happy tape.
What we really needed in this space was a tiny, and I do mean tiny table. A place for keys, mail, and maybe a pretty flower to greet us. I took a table from another part of the house and gave it a fresh coat of BM Black left over from the
bathroom. The other day at Hobby Lobby I found these knobs. They also had knobs with initials, but according to Hobby Lobby, the alphabet ends with "y" and I needed a "z". There were lots of other great knobs there too if you are in the market for hardware.
Sometimes I like unexpected proportions like large over small. I thought it was a fun way to bring Dad's mirror into the present.
