Good Tuesday Morn everyone.
I'd like your thoughts on something please.
By now, you've all seen photos of my foyer.
I'm not going to post another picture of it because of that little TV thing I told you about yesterday.
I'd love to fill you in on all the details of said appearance, but I can't...not yet anyways.
What I can say is that parts of my house are going to featured on a national (Canadian) show and it's being shot next week...airs on the 15th...and don't fret my international friends...you'll be able to watch it online;)
Anyhoo...for that reason, I'm going to attempt this post with no photos of my abode.
Also, I'm not going to talk about something that is driving me a little crazy like coco puffs this morning, for the same reason...what I will say on that issue though, is comparing a DIY project of mine to something you'd see on Pottery Barn Teen is literally akin to driving a stake through my heart...just mean Mr or Ms commenter, mean!!
Tangents, tangents...back to the topic at hand.
I'd like to one day add a runner to my staircase...you know this one...
haha...I kid...how I wish that was mine- dream hallway.
Focusing on my actual foyer now...
I love the idea of a little colour to soften all the brown that a wood floor creates.
Don't get me wrong, I actually LOVE wood floors but I prefer them with layered with carpety goodness.
So...I need to know what your thoughts on runners are.
I gathered some inspiration to help you decide.
First, there's the traditional route...
This one reminds me of my hallway because of the black and white paper...sisal definitely works...
but I want something to break up the brown barrage..and sisal is kind of brown...i.e. not helping the so much.
So...let's see about some pattern perhaps...you know I LOVE animal prints...
The antelope is interesting but...brown:(
And we've all seen this one below...cue heart going pitter patter...
The trouble is, I already have a LOT of leopard and I do believe that too much of a great thing, can be a bad thing so...
How about a different kind of pattern?
In neutral 'ish' colours perhaps...
The grey/white with those pinky perfect benches is pretty.
This black, grey and white one is pretty fab...though I think it would give me a severe case of vertigo...
You know I'm obsessed with the KW geniusness below...the pseudo zebra is HOT...but, I've got beaucoup amounts of black and white...though I adore that runner...and paint...and everything.
There's also the option of a more colourful approach to the pattern idea...
But perhaps not this much colour....
Or maybe a solid colour is the answer....
This foyer is HEAVEN....
as is this one....
and Orange is apparently the colour of the year but um...I don't really like it so no to that...though those stairs are kind of amazing.
You know what other staircase is kind of perfection?
This one...
See how happy the owners are?
It's because they have a fuschia runner and it's INCREDIBLE!!!
I want, I want.
That's the winner in my eyes.
What say you?
Would the fuschia be to gothariffic with my black and white chairs?
Or the perfect pink/but not too pink accent.
Tell me please.
I'm all ears.
