Feast on the gorgeousness of this dreamy, architecturally-magnificent foyer. What would you ditto?

DITTO :: {WHAT I WOULD STEAL FROM THIS SPACE}:

1.  HERRINGBONE BRICK FLOORS.

Love. Adore. Don’t you love the relaxed patio feel that this welcoming brick floor adds to the space? And that killer herringbone pattern adds so much texture. Want to add this to my mudroom! I am taking note. Ditto!

2.  A VIBRANT SOFA IN THE FOYER.

White, white, everywhere. With a few contrasting kicks of brown. Oh. And then, there is that rockingly beautiful sofa!! Don’t you love how powerfully the contrast of the turquoise colored sofa pops in this room??

3.  NEUTRALS THAT ALLOW THE ARCHITECTURE TO TAKE CENTER STAGE.

I find that when you want architecture to truly stand out, neutral colors actually allow the architectural shapes to shine through. I love a good, fun, colorful built-in or architectural accent… but for architecture that has a presence all its own, I love to paint it in a creamy white or creamy, pale gray.

4.  DETAILED WOODWORKING GALORE.

The wainscoting goes beyond magnificent in its detailing in this foyer. The trim alone is stunning. Ditto.

5.  TURQUOISE VELVET.

I am pretty much thinking that I need to recover something in my home in turquoise velvet. Ditto.

6.  WOOD BUNDLES AND OTHER ODD ART.

I love the concept of taking useful, practical, daily household items and displaying them in an artful way. Do you use firewood? Well, then. Why not display it in lovely bundles in your foyer? Do you keep a watering-can on hand? Well, then. Why not buy a gorgeous copper one and keep it handy AND on display in the foyer? I love the joy of elevating practical, regular-life-items into art by buying beautiful versions of these things, and considering a beautiful way to display them.

7. A BUST.

Reminds me of the bust in Edie’s room. Or this bust of Angela’s. Seriously love these girls and their fun and personal styles.

SO much goodness. Love anything I did not mention? or…

WHAT WOULD YOU DITTO {STEAL} FROM THIS SPACE, 1-7? SOMETHING ELSE?

I LOVE HEARING YOUR THOUGHTS!
