First impressions are everything. Once I moved into my house, I knew one of the first projects to focus on was decorating the front foyer. Not only does it require little furniture due to it’s pint size, it also makes the first impression when people enter my abode. See how I was able to transform the space with small touches and details.

looks fabulous! love the carpet you chose on the stairs.
Should have left it alone, and get rid of the ugly carpet. Old houses never had carpet.

Anonymous, you're an ass.
Fantastic overhaul! The hardwood with that dark inlay is especially amazing.
Yikes, I meant the mean anonymous. Not the nice anonymous…
Great job Krista! You updated your house beautifully, but kept a bit of antique charm within it! Fantastic.
your star lanterns and navy blue door are beautiful…nice work Krista!
Fabulous work! I love the new door colour, and that storage at the entrance seems like a great fit.
