Show us your life: Foyers

Linking up with Kelly's Korner today for Show us your life: foyers :)

Most of my regular readers have already seen the entire inside of my house since we recently moved to Georgia and I've spent the last few months decorating....sorry to put you through this again ;) 

I decided to start with the outside entry to our home, since our foyer is very small and there's not much there to show!


I love our new front porch.  It has a set of hanging lanterns and double front doors..... a perfect southern porch :)


As you come in the front doors, you can see the living area to the back of the house.....


And if you turn around and look back over the front doors...


you see our last name and wedding date!


To one side of the front door is the office....


And to the other side is the dining room....


The actual foyer is pretty small, but I managed to fit a small wicker chair with a French pillow in the space....


with a fun clock over it!


The only other real furniture in the space is a black trunk that I've had for years and had no space to put anywhere else in the house......


Above the foyer, you can see the second level with the arched openings to the hallway.....


On the trunk is a family picture, but I need to change it because it doesn't have Caleb (baby #8) in it!


I love the lamp I found at Hobby Lobby (50% off of course!).....




And finally, here's a shot looking from the living room back toward the front doors.....


Thanks for stopping by!

You have a beautiful home. I love the porch and you're right - very southern.

Hi Jenny. I was stopping by from Kelly's admiring your beautiful home when I noticed you homeschool. I'm also homeschooling my two little ones (with K12) and it wasn't by choice, sort of. There's so much pressure having their education in your hands. It's so nice to see a kindred spirit out there. So happy to have found your blog and look forward to following it. Blessings, Dani

I love the front porch and the double wreaths on the doors. I also really like the clock and the lamp in the foyer.

As you can tell, I'm slowly catching up on my SUYL reading :)
