STEP INTO MY FOYER

I wish I had a before photo of my foyer to show you how far it has come since I first bought my house. My teeny, tiny foyer is one of my favorite spots in my entire home. It is the first room you see when you walk in and the last when you leave, so to me, it needs to be a "wow" factor. I love wallpaper for a small space. It really cozy's up a room and creates a whole new vibe. Thibaut, of course, has some of my favorite prints. 

I found both the mirror and table in consignment shops and know I will have them forever. The table top is painted with gold leaf so it shines at night. It reminds me of the furniture I saw in hotels when I was in Italy. The black and gold lamps were antiques passed down to me from my mom. I love it when my mom gives me her older pieces because it makes them extra special. 

I hope this post inspires you to create a cozy little space in your home that you can walk by every day and say "wow" :)

Have an awesome day!!

Choosing the perfect fabric

Choosing a fabric for your home is never easy, especially when you are the one that has to look at it every day. I loved so many different patterns that it took me forever to find a fabric I could finally say "Yes" to. 

I chose a larger pattern for both my chair and draperies because I simply could not choose between them! If you LOVE a specific pattern on a fabric, start with that and work around it. I typically like to work with four patterns in each room. Some patterns are small, some large, and I always like to choose something out of the ordinary to add flare. 

My favorite fabric collections come from Thibaut designs. Thibaut offers novelty patterns and also uses an amazing quality yarn to make the fabric super durable and made to last. Almost my entire house is designed by Thibaut and I wouldn't want it any other way!

Another important tip is to choose something that is practical. My first time around, I went simply for appearance. Now, not only do I need to love the look of the pattern, but the fabric also has to stand up to my everyday comfortable living and Gino, my pup!

Try to have fun when choosing fabrics and remember that if you love it, you will make it work. It all comes together in the end!

Have a wonderful Wednesday and be sure to look for my newest post coming this Friday!
