Spring in the Foyer

Happy Wednesday

 Sweet Friends,

So how are ya? 

 Bet you are getting things ready 

for Easter just like me..........

Am I right??

I don't typically post on Weds.,

cause I have my lil grandaughter

here all day for a play date, but

 got busy doing other things yester-

day and just never got around to

 editing pics and stuff till evening

So figured maybe I could do the

post today at some point.  So did

 get the pics posted while lil darling

 was napping.......so will finish it 

up now.

Thought I would start with my

Spring foyer, mainly cause I am

so happy with it....we have lived

in our home for over 36 years 

and this is the first time I have

been really happy with this wall

that has been such an enigma for

me all these years.

My go to Spring accent color has 

been pink for a number of years

 now, but this year I decided just

to use it in the foyer and living 

room for the most part, since we

were really enjoying the soothing

look we had for the Winter, which

was whites, creams, greens and

brass/ gold in the family/dining

room, and have added a lil bit

of pink here and there, not 

much tho..............

Anyway......here is a look at

the foyer.  The enigma wall

is on the left. 

Now tell me,  does anyone 

else have a wall like that???

This is a look from the living room

Here it is as you come in the
front door.

See how we have this narrow wall,

and then it has steps down into the 
living room, and one side is a hall-
way going back to the family room, 
and the other side is the living room.  
I have always had it decorated but

can't say I have ever been like
 thrilled with it.....

you know what I mean???

There are so many things I have thought

of to put under a picture or wreath there

but because the stairs go down it is very

hard to find something to go there,

cause it can't be too wide or too long.

 Anyway I finally saw this plant stand

online, which my sweet daughter got

me for Christmas and that definitely

made it much better.....

So when I started my Spirng decorating 

 I decided to put picket fence floral
creation back up  as it used to be there
 some years back.

Then decorated the plant stand with

 a urn with greenery, which helps to

 hide another problem with this wall,

 a 4 switch light plate. I have tried

many times to find a pretty light

switch plate, but being so large,

they are rare and I have never seen

one that I thought would do any

good, so nice to be able to put

something in front of it to camo-

aflauge it a bit, so it isn't the first

thing you see when you come in

the door........lol

Then I decided to use these 2 watercolor 

prints in this room, this year.  I bought

 them as a birthday gift to myself last

year, and used them in the family room.

I used the first one on the etagere but 

wasn't sure what to do with the other 

one, so just on a whim I decided to try

 it in this spot, not really thinking it

would turn out necessarily.  So asked

hubby to hold it there for me, and I

really liked it,  and so did he.

Even tho I liked it .....seemed like there

was still something missing and decided

it needed something with height under-

neath it.  So decided on this topiary,

it was not quite tall enought so added

some books which did the trick.

Then added these cute lil birdies

 I bought some years back while

 on vacation in Asheville.

Wasn't quite sure what to put on 

the bottom but this bunny seemed 

like a good idea, and knew lil

 darling would like it.....lol

So after all these years.....

 I have to say I am totally tickled

 with this wall for the first time~!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well, thanks for your visit, I so

 appreciate that you came by, and 

hope you will let me know you 

were here.

Love Hugs, and

Easter Preparation Blessings,

Nellie
