The Hebert House: Welcome y'all! Come On In!

When we moved into our new house, I knew exactly what I wanted from our foyer

Warmth and Welcoming

Of course, I knew that I wanted shiplap,

but other than that, I was going by the seat of my pants.

See this is what we walked into when we toured our home...

Just a little different!

We removed the popcorn ceiling and "tried" to remove the wallpaper... it was a no go.

Enter: shiplap

See I went to Lowe's to price actual shiplap pieces and DANG!

They are expensive so we went another route.

We chose the least expensive board and had them cut down to 8" planks,

then installed them ourselves. Painted them a flat white and BOOM.

The shiplap for this entire room was roughly $50.00

Next we painted the bottom of the foyer my favorite color!

Valspar's: Mesa Tumbleweed

available at Lowe's

I seriously use this color EVERYWHERE.

The door was next...

I had seen in HGTV magazine, where someone had painted the inside of their front

door a dusty pink and well, I HAD TO.

Please let me sing the praises of my husband, who didn't bat an eyelash when I said,

"Honey, I want to paint the front door and I want to paint it PINK!"

He really loves me.

Paint color: Valspar's Dusty Rose

Also available at Lowe's

Now, that all the painting and lighting was done, it was time to decorate!!

The first item that I bought for the foyer was this mirror.

I called up my sweet friend Griffin at Gryphons Acquisitions

and told her what I was looking for. She found this mirror lickety split

and OF COURSE it was perfect. She gets me like that.

I paired it with two hanging mason jars and faux greenery from Hobby Lobby.

and find similar greenery HERE

Next was a table or bench to go under the mirror.

I tried every foyer table I had and they were all just too long or too wide so we decided on the bench.

I started looking into buying one when low and behold, the husband comes home

with a bed frame from beside the dumpster at work...

to build a bench. HA!

These are the type of people we are... just saying.

After he put the bench together, I bought fabric and stuffing from Hobby Lobby

and made the cushion for the top.

I paired it with this Welcome Y'all pillow and a small basket from TJ Maxx.

I love how the gold on the pillow accents the mirror and keeps the room from looking too "rustic".

I change the contents of this basket out for each season but

these green moss rocks stay in it a lot of the time. I found them at the Dollar Tree!

Next was the little table next to the bench.

I had purchased this little gold table from Marshall's several years ago

and it was the perfect size.

I added a photo frame, my pineapple scentsy warmer and a little gold and white dachshund quill rest, that I found at an antique shop, to finish the look. I decided to keep all the accent pieces white to stay with the simplicity of the room and not take away from the gold table.

I do change these decorations out per season as well.
