The Foyer Make-Over

Bunches & bunches of BUSY around here!

I bet you thought I would never come back to update my blog...I can assure you I was starting to feel like I was never going to get to myself!

I have oodles of rambling to share, but I will do that in a separate post (don't say I didn't warn you, it's a month's worth of crazy)!  Today I wanted to share the MAJOR project that has been going on at our house for the past month.

Our dark & dreary foyer got a make over!! 

I am so, so happy with it...
I find myself smiling ever time I walk by!


 

I had a board full of inspiration from Pinterest...

Divine goodness like this one:

and this...

Here is our foyer before...

dark...

looked over...

come in & hurry through...

and now...

light...

can't seem to stop looking...

come on in & linger...

ahhhhh....

I'm in love...

my whole family

(ok, just me & Daddy P)

are in love!

just simple trim details & 

a coat of Benjamin Moore Berber White...
(& perhaps having the sconces turned in the right direction finally)

Perfection!

Here's a shot up the stairs where we had the short wall removed & replaced it with iron railing...it really opens up the upstairs foyer & brightens up the foyer downstairs too!

My favorite part is our new front door...

it hasn't been stained yet, 

but it changes the look of our house, 

inside & out! 

(& yes, we have a lamp out...it's on the honey do list)

Our painter was so fast...

I seized the opportunity to get my DINING ROOM repainted too...

goodbye RED...

hello, Alexandria Beige (Benjamin Moore)

(crazy different, I feel like we are in different house!!!)

So...there ya go...

it's been kinda busy here! ;)

I've been a slightly stressed...

but, it's done & 

I'm so tickled to have my house put back together!

I would like to say thank you to Brad Chessor of Bradley Homes for all of his hard work (especially since I know he is busy building his new house right now).  We are so, so pleased...thank you for making us fall in love with our home all over again! ❤

And because the fun never ends out here...

Next up...

this eye sore is going under the knife!

Amen & amen! 

(& amen!!!)

I'll keep you posted on that one.

I will be back to share a quick little crafty tutorial with you...

super cute & SUPER EASY Moss Frames

Well, I'm popping up & heading off to Sneaky E's last (can I get one last AMEN here), last Saturday baseball game of the season...it has been so fun, but how I have missed my Saturdays!!!

Then we're heading to Grandma's 
for birthday fest for sweet Prince William, 

the stinker is two...I blinked!!

And then enjoying Mother's Day time 

with my sissy & mommy this evening...

I do hope all my sweet mommy friends have a very 

❤ HAPPY Mother's Day Weekend! ❤
