SOME WELCOME CHANGES

I recently made a few changes to the foyer.  I have never been quite satisfied with this space, until now.
I picked up this tiny vintage school chair at Goodwill for $3.00.  
I thought it might be a good "cooling off" or "time out" spot for my little guy.  


I pulled the "BELIEVE" pillow out from our Christmas decorations
and I borrowed the basket from the family room and added some pillows. 


On the opposite wall, I added a painting I purchased at the Burlington Antique Show in August. 


I loved the colors in the painting and the simple black frame.



This little old foyer has gone through quite a few changes the past three years. 
Before we bought the house, it looked like this....


Shortly after we moved in, it looked like this....


A short time later, it looked like this....


And then this.....


And now this......
Ahhhh, I'm feeling much better about the space now. 



Are you constantly tweaking rooms in your home too?

  10. I wouldn't have anything to blog about if not for tweaking! :) This is so timely my post for tomorrow is 'chairs in the entry.' I'll send them over to see your cute steal, it looks perfect! :)

  11. Love seeing how it has changed. What a great little chair too! I always want to tweak more than I actually do. I should post more on the tweaks because I always enjoy yours :)

  12. Yep, that's why we bloggers do what we do and it always baffles me to see people leave things for years without changing it up..
    I came over via Simple Details & really enjoyed seeing the changes over the years.. Just became a follower:)

  13. I'd love to know more about the bicycle art/photo? above the new schoolhouse chair. That's really neat. And you've got the vision girl - your house is beautiful and you've done so much to make it your own. That's exactly what I'm looking for in our next house, but I don't think my hubs wants to do that much work - I told him it's all going to be a work in progress (I can win this one right?). I also love that cabinet in your entry too. Great look Andrea!
