Foyer

THIS OR THAT: THE BENCHMARK ON ENTRYWAY SEATING!

May 17, 2012

White Gustav style bench in a white foyer with a blue, white and black striped rug

Which of these three foyers do you like best?  They all have something in common…traditional Louis XVI or Gustav style benches, white walls, art.

Wish I had a foyer large enough for seating of some sort. I think even a chair would do!

So do you like any of these or would you prefer your foyer bench free? That’s the question in today’s THIS OR THAT!

Foyer with Louis XVI bench, staircase, area rug and dark wood floor

So which do you prefer…1, 2 or 3? Or do you not like any? Be honest…do tell! I’m leaning towards 2 but like the brightness of 1.

Happy Thursday!

P.S. Sorry didn’t post yesterday! Running around like a chicken with no head …work is super busy…plus making all of these changes at my house before best of friend AM and her hubby JE and their kids come visit in 2 weeks. The not exciting thing is that none of the changes are fun design and decorating changes…they are more functional…like tearing down the fence on the side of my house and building a new one, constructing a new front gate, fixing the side deck, covering the side patio, sanding the main deck, drywalling the skylight in my bedroom and fixing a portion of the wood floors in my house and new outdoor lighting…oh did I mention, I’m sending out one of my sofas to be reupholstered? Things I notice everyday that are driving me CRAZY and would totally bug me if guests were here and saw these things…I’m sure they won’t even notice the difference…but I will. So my house is a construction zone right now. Yay and oh dear at the same time!

P.P.S. In the middle of all of this, COCOCOZY is moving into a new office space, so all of that has to be arranged (yes, I took the Beverly Hills office in the shabby building but with lots of light…it is so central and near my day job so I can pop by after or before work…so I chose location. I did inquire about office space in downtown Los Angeles and it was about 1/3 of the price only problem is that I would never ever be able to get to the office because downtown is so far from my house and from where I am during the day that it would have made no sense. We move in on Sunday. Wood floors have gone in, fluorescent lights removed and paint has been refreshed. CM is helping with all of the moving thank goodness.

P.P.P.S. Prepping for my friend AZ’s wedding in Puerto Vallarta too…did I mention that? Don’t know what I will wear? Resort, casual, beach appropriate attire is in need. Can’t wait.

P.P.P.P.S. How do you typically prep when guests are coming to stay at your house? Do you do construction or do you just add a flower here and there? Do tell any stories about getting ready for house guests!

    I adore the third — but I think it’s more for the dark floors than anything else — gorgeous!!

    Three or two. One will likely not wear as well through time.

    I would choose number 1, it’s so clean and bright, it feels like peace and angels! It reminded me of a white chair by BRABBU called NANOOK. Have a look: http://www.brabbu.com/upholstery/nanook.html
    Brabbu will be presenting their pieces at ICFF this week, booth 1148, do visit if you can!

    A bench in an entryway is my #1 choice of all! Very inviting. I can change accent pillows with the season. Love it! I like photo #1. It is airy and crisp although I would have chosen a larger rug with geometric design.
    My house guests usually come from France so they stay a LOOONG time! All kind of construction plans start fusing…in my head! It all ends with flowers on the bedside table! Next time I will hire you!

    I like each one. From a Design point of view they each represent a clear representation of the syle.
    As far as house guests, It depends on who…..I ALWAYS want to have my house looking its best, so any clutter & unfinished items usually get the motivation to be dealt with! Always – Fresh flowers, fresh sheets and fresh air in the guest bedroom – at the least. And oh yea, their favorite wine or Champagne. Well, my friends joke to be greeted at the door with it!

    I love the shape of #2 and am thinking of the glorious things you could do with those bolsters and some great fabric.

    Nr 2 or 3, leaning towards 3 the most. No 1 is ok but to much country style for my taste…But a bench in the foyer is great! Love from Sweden

    Coco I adore #3 because of the gorgeous contrast of the dark wood floors and cane back settee with the whites!

    Love #1, so many possibilities with it. I might not go for the white floor, however, due to foyer foot traffic. Jo @ Let’s Face the Music

Martha's Vineyard house tour part 1. Here is a tou Martha's Vineyard house tour part 1. Here is a tour of the rental house we had in Edgartown on MV this summer. A new build about 5 minutes from the center of town. 3500 square feet, 4 bedrooms, 4 baths and a pool. House bad that beach house or coastal style decor. We were the first to rent it. What do you think? Would you rent thjs? Do you want to see the bedrooms?
It was our 2nd summer on the Vineyard. Next year, we are renting for the month. Same house. 💃🏾 I would love a bit bigger so more people could come but finding good rentals is hard on the Vineyard. Feel very lucky to have spent a magical few weeks in this spot.

Comment YES if you want to see a tour of this Mart Comment YES if you want to see a tour of this Martha's Vineyard house. I rented this house for our two week stay in Martha's Vineyard. A few minutes walk to the center of Edgartown. The house was heaven. We were the first renters to stay in this newly built house.
