FIRST IMPRESSIONS

I was thinking .....  Or in other words, I had an Epiphany ...for a Post.   This is not a room remake!! 

We are constantly reading that the Foyer, or Entrance,  reflects the style of what's to come!  Makes sense!  In other words....The FIRST IMPRESSION of the home!

My Epiphany:
......... to show  foyers from Designer's Portfolios that  I have on my Binterest List!    (by the way,  this list grows daily!)  My only problem,  there were few shots of foyers in the  Designers' profiles.    I hope this will give you an insight into a few of my Binterest Designers.   Or a FIRST IMPRESSION.....a clue,  to what their talent expresses!!!

Great Designer's can work in any Style.  They aren't limited to one period, or "style".  A successful Designer  creates a space to fit the client.    After looking at the spaces,  I realized I was able to see an insight into the Designer's talents!
Amazing!

 Browse through the following Foyers, Entrys--- or as one great Design denotes the space.....

  2. I love your foyer so much I'm considering painting my front door black also. The minus is my foyer is small and a black door might make it look smaller. But I sure do love the look.

  3. Naz, it might work if you have black to play off in other parts of the foyer or adjoining rooms. I love the look. It took a lot of paint to cover that white door!!!

  4. Patti,

  5. Patti, Were you really up and blogging at 5:20AM? Once again, I enjoyed all of the beautiful pictures. Which designer does a more traditional look? The "perfect" look is very nice, but I need a more "lived in" look! :) Any recommendations from your list?

  6. Hi Patty -
    Thanks so much for all the foyer inspirations. And, thank you for visiting my blog. I appreciate it. I'm laughing at Binterest....I read that you changed the name to avoid going to jail....ha, ha :-)
    Cheers from DC,
    Loi
