Evolution of the Foyer

First impressions are everything. 

This phrase applies in particular to the entryway of your house. Your front door, foyer, etc is the first glimpse your guests will see upon entering your house.

What do you want it to say about you?

My entryway to the studio here at Apt #12 is very dark and awkward. The walls are placed at weird angles which makes furniture placement challenging. I'll bet that the builder thought that these obtuse  and acute angles were avant-garde, edgy even. To top it off, you see a huge circuit breaker smack-dab in the middle of the wall that faces you when you walk into the apartment. Sexy, right?

I posted last week on how I hid the circuit breaker with some DIY art. 

Last night, I replaced the lamp with a pair I have been moving around the rest of the apartment for quite some time. I like the symmetry (obviously) they create. They also provide a better preview of the metallics and black accents that you will see when you walk further into my studio. 

There's a whole lot of sparkle going on here. Better pics soon. 

Has anyone transformed their entryway into something special? Shoot me an email; I'd love to post pics!
