Formalizing the Foyer

Okay, the latest project is the foyer. The idea here is to visually separate this space from the living room by putting in two half walls and balancing them out with pillars, wainscot and two chandeliers. We will also make the space look larger with the use of thick vertical, 10 inch stripes on the walls. We will use a poly-urethane to make the wall feel monochromatic and elegant.

In addition, we will tile this floor with a through body porcelain and replace the existing front and closet doors as a part of the foyer remodel.



Here is what it looked like on Day 1

Here it is framed out
Here it is sheet-rocked
This is the fixture that is in there currently. The plan is to replace it, and add a duplicate at the opposite end of the foyer to achieve a visual balance, as well as equal illumination of the area. Plus, who doesn't love more twinkling lights welcoming them into a home?

I am trying to find something similar to this, but am not sold on anything yet.
