#winning Spill your thoughts.If you have a staircase in your living room, you might find it to be an inconvenience, taking up floor space in the room or negatively affecting the style of the room. Out of all the things we’ve done during this renovation, I’ve at least earned the compliments from the men in my family for the lucite hand rail. The tutorial for it is here.Īnd the best thing about the lucite hand rail?Įvery single older gentleman who comes in our house comments on how much they like it. We also installed the Cocoa Oak NuCore that we used throughout the main living area of the house on the stair landing as well.Īnd let me show you what’s hiding on the other side of the stairwell, leading down to the den…Īnd it is so easy to make. I have to say I was really impressed with just how many rugs they have ( thousands) and how reasonable their prices were. The rug is called Momeni Vogue and is from Rug Studio, which is a new-to-me rug store. For now though, I just painted it black to make it blend in more and not takeaway from the entry. I’ve also got plans to get rid of that metal railing when the budget permits and replace it with something much better.

At some point, I would love to update the door and sidelights, but they aren’t horrendous or anything, so it isn’t at the top of the list. It isn’t cottage-y or beige-y, it’s bright white, which is what I wanted for this space. The white is Bit of Sugar by Behr and it is a true 100% white – or to me at least. I carried the black walls, Limousine Leather by Behr, from the living room throughout the entry and painted the trim and door white. They have made me promise not to buy another vintage light fixture again. I didn’t exactly pay attention to the hardware, or lack thereof, that came with the chandelier because I was just so damn excited about finding it, so it was somewhat of a challenge to get it hung. I have to pause here and give a huge thanks to my two husbands, Grunt Labor and Nicky, for hanging the chandy. You can find the same one on Etsy here, but you can also do a search for lucite chandeliers and find lots of gorgeous options. I actually bought it just a couple weeks after we first got the house knowing it would be perfect somewhere. The chandelier was a vintage find from a local store. I went for it in a copper frame to really pop off the wall.
And since we are calling this place the 70’s Landing Pad and also giving quite the nod to 70’s design, it was the perfect choice. As soon as I found this eyes watercolor artwork called Soul Seeing by Kelsey McNatt on Minted, I knew it was perfect.
I knew I wanted to set the tone here for our whole house. The floor space of the entryway itself doesn’t have much room for decorating, therefore I had to use my wall space on the stairwell efficiently. Let’s talk about the ( good) elephant in the room first, shall we? Those eyes… Wall Color / Door & Trim Color / Chandelier / Eyes Art Just like the master bathroom, this is a hard space to photograph since it’s a split staircase, but here’s my best shot at it.Īffiliate links may be contained in this post. So let’s take a look at how far our split foyer entryway has come…. No, there isn’t a lot of room on the landing for a nice entry table or even for more than two people to stand, but overall this house is just damn near perfect for us – split foyer and all. I love our 70’s Landing Pad in all it’s split foyer glory, y’all. Then one day we walked into a split foyer house and I kind of fell in love with all the potential.įast forward eight months and a renovation later, here I sit typing this post in my split foyer home eating my words. I hated the layout and overall, I just wasn’t a fan. Once upon a time, I had an aversion to split foyer homes.
