Foyer Makeover- Part 1

I have been itching to makeover my foyer for awhile now. I painted it 9 years ago when we moved into the house. At the time I thought the whitewashed look was cool. Now not so much. I knew it would be a pretty inexpensive makeover. So Sunday we decided to go for it.

This is after one coat.

Since Mitch and I were busy painting, the kids decided to make lunch. This was my plate. I thought it was very sweet. I did add some sugar snap peas, olives, and pita bread though.

Here's the foyer all painted. I painted a mirror yellow and hung it on the wall, but I had already taken this photo. I still need to paint the trim and decide what I am going to put in the foyer.
I will post more photos once it is all put together.
Mitch isn't too sure of the paint on the doors. Harper says it looks like Disneyworld. I like it.

I sure do love a good home improvement project. Especially when it just involves some paint. I am slowly making my way through the house. I am trying to do all the stuff that is easy and not too expensive while we save up some money to do some major remodeling to the kitchen.

Looks amazing! I never cease to be amazed at the difference that a coat of paint can make! I love the grey and white combo...it is such a classy look. And I like the blue doors -- it adds a great little pop of color!

thank you so very much for taking the time to link up to my party! It was my first one and I'm just honored that people actually joined up. I'd be just tickled pink to see you join up again today! Have a lovely day, Maria http://caribbeanmissionarywife.blogspot.com/

Paint does do wonders doesn't it? Is it a gray? I love that Harper thinks the retro blue looks like DisneyWorld! It will make you happy every time you walk in your door!

It looks great! I love the pop of color with the blue door. Paint is such a great way to change the look of the room fairly quickly and cheaply. I am itching to do another paint project. Not sure where my madness may lead, but something needs redecorating in our house...I'm sure of it. ;)
