foyer tour

It is the first impression of your house. My stairs are two tiered, therefore the focal point of the entrance, and it needed something special.  

before-

my gripes: tan carpet; oak banisters and spindles 

the potential: two story foyer; and hardwood floor entry

after-

I decided to give it a facelift. I painted the spindles with a white gloss oil paint. Why oil paint?  I wanted it to last.  I first primed with an oil paint of course!  Remember, I have 3 kids, and there is no way I am doing this again.

I thought why not step it up a notch and make it more interesting.  And after I saw How to Paint the Perfect Line tutorial in Pinterest, I finished it in a couple of hours!

This shows another project I completed, painting all your interior doors black.  It looks great and hides dirt!

What's a new foyer with out a new light?

The color on the walls is called 'The Perfect Greige'. It's not Beige or Grey, but can be either one depending on the light.
