(Lulu DK's entrance via her blog, Trail of Inspiration)As the saying goes, "you never have a second chance to make a first impression," and I think this wisdom is especially applicable to the home. Sure, not all of us are graced with an expansive marble entryway or a staircase worthy of Scarlett O'Hara. Some of us just have a front door, be it an apartment door or otherwise, that enters directly into our living room.
Rita Konig, former Domino and T Magazine blog contributor, recently touched on this subject, too. Great minds, I tell you...
Scarlett-worthy foyers are the stuff of dreams for some of us, myself included. Here's just a few grand entrances I've pulled from the ol' style files, as they wait for my future home.

How does yours stack up?

Gorgeous entries - how does mine stack up? Ahh, that would be non-existant. Seriously - walk in the front door and bam there is the staircase & you're standing in the living room!! Ugh....
ReplyDeleteDon't worry, Fran, about the state of your foyer. There's a reason why I didn't include a picture of mine here!
