Before and After: Front Foyer

First impressions are everything. Once I moved into my house, I knew one of the first projects to focus on was decorating the front foyer. Not only does it require little furniture due to it's pint size, it also makes the first impression when people enter my abode. See how I was able to transform the space with small touches and details.
