A few weeks ago, I gave you a sneak peek of my foyer and a mini-tutorial on how to use Royal Design Studio Stencils. The foyer is all painted, caulked, and primped and ready for some paparazzi!
Unfortunately for the foyer, the paparazzi doesn’t know how to use her camera so all the pictures are a bit dark. Note to paparazzi: Take a photography class.
I bought the cute cottage bird hooks from my sponsor Timeless Settings. They also come in ORB and baby leaf green.
I LOVE them!
Here is your view as you enter the front door. I had planned to have cheap Target mirrors cut to size and edged with molding (a-la-Layla) on those coat closet doors, but it was going to cost around $40 and another day. I wasn’t feeling it right now but it’s on the to-do list.
Here is a reminder of what this room sort-of looked like before:
And here is the after!
And here is the breakdown of where everything is from:
And here is what you see when you close that big wood door (that still needs refinishing). Our mudroom.
The end.
Beth!!! It looks beautiful! Love, love, love it!
l.o.v.e. looks great. the hooks are adorable, i’m going to check out the website.

Freaking. Awesome.
Gorgeous!! Good for you to fix that wreath–I probably would have left it broken forever and then been frustrated. Those hooks are perfect for that space and give it even more character. You have a nice touch!
Oh. My. Drool. I’m in love with it. I dare say this is my favorite thing you’ve ever done–and there’s a long list of favorites! It’s beautiful, Beth! LOVE!
It looks fantastic – I really really love those hooks!
It’s fabulous, Beth! I love the stencil, the hooks, the chandelier…everything.
Great job!

Love the bird hooks and the stenciling. I’m pinning this!
Absolutely L.O.V.E. it!! What a gorgeous welcome into your home. I’ve got to have some of those bird hooks.
I am in love with your foyer. It is beautiful! That stencil and those hooks…. dreamy.
Beth this is gorgeous and I love it!!!!
I can’t believe no one has commented on your cute little pup. Looks like he is there as the “official greeter”. What a cutie, and my second fav would be the bird hooks. Going to check those out, but it looks like I had better hurry or they will be sold out. Thanks for sharing your talents.
Beth, it’s awesome!! Love the color you used and the puppy finishes it off nicely.
It’s like drinking a refreshing drink. Calm, soothing and leaves you with an ahhhhhh kind of feeling. Great job, Beth!
Oh I bet you just LOVE walking in that front door everyday now!! It looks amazing! Great job!!
Such a beautiful and calm welcome to the rest of your house.I love the color combination…and the chandelier..and cute hooks.Well,I really like everything about it!!Great styling!!
Love all the changes! The stencil looks fantastic! Love the color you chose! And those hooks are the absolute perfect touch. Thanks for sharing.
It’s beautiful! What color paint did you use on the stencils? It looks like it has a shimmer? Awesome job!!
This rocks, Beth! Adore your bright color choices and those precious little hooks. Do you find yourself coming and going repeatedly just so you can enjoy?? Kudos, girl!
Oh, gorgeous. *Sigh* I could just stand in that room and stare all day. Love.
Very eye catching.
Simply gorgelicious!!!
GORGEOUS! Love the stenciling soooo much and those bird hooks are too cute! I love bird decor and would totally rock those in our home!
It looks lovely, Beth! Our house in Michigan (a 1912 Dutch Colonial) had a little room like this, but ours never looked so pretty. What a beautiful way to welcome folks to your home!
Woah Beth!!! This is such a fresh and fun entryway. Totally inviting and adorably styled.
You did an awesome job with our Royal Design Marrakech allover trellis. What are you going to stencil next? 
The stencil looks beautiful and like a TON of work went into it, but I think the bird hooks really steal the show. I will definitely be buying some!!!
Really darling! I bet your biceps are toned!
Beth this is just perfect ! Wow what a dramatic difference it is making in your front foyer . I love the bird coat hangers too .
Beth! You did fantastic! Way to go girl!
Beth,
Beautiful job on the stenciling! I love the color, pattern and your sweet accessories. BRAVO!
Your Friend,
Deborah
Oh wow Beth. Your foyer came together really beautifully. So bright and cheery. I love blue you’ve used!
It is STUNNING! Love everything about it…hooks, stencil, color, board n batten and sweet lil dog!
It looks wonderful!
You did a very nice job. I really love it. Did you do the woodwork/moulding as well? What do you call it? I think it looks amazing!
Duh, I just read the above comment…board and batten.
You did a seriously amazing job! I love the color and those bird hooks are too cute!

Those hooks are SO darn cute!! The whole foyer looks just lovely… Great job!
it’s stunning!
I love this look. My hall/foyer is so narrow but I wonder if something like this would work?! Hmmmm. Wonderful job. Just provided me with some inspiration. Thank you.
Beth, your foyer is GORGEOUS!! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, those little bird hooks!! So cute!
Hi, Beth. As usual, your photos are great. I actually look forward to seeing your site… uplifting. It gives me hope as I look around my house, which is a work in progress, for sure.
Wow Beth! Your foyer turned out beautiful {and those bird hooks are to die for!!!} I’m sure now, it was definately worth all the pain in the patootie dealing with stenciling wasn’t it?! You did a great job and the room looks so fresh and airy! Great job!!
FABULOUS! What a beautiful and FRESH greeting!
AMAZING!! You did a GREAT job Beth!!
So cute! I think the dog adds the perfect touch!
Please get in your car and get up here to help me with this house. Some days Im perfectly content. And then there are days like today…:)

I have those same hooks, needing to be listed in my Etsy shop! Maybe I’ll list them today.

Looks great, must have been a lot of work, but so worth it!
This is seriously flipping cute! Awesome job.
Gorgeous, just gorgeous! You did an amazing job and I so want to steal your foyer for my home. Ha ha love th dog in the pic, mine are camera divas too!
The stenciled wall is just beautiful, and those bird hooks are beyond adorable!
Such a happy space! No detail was forgotten! Fabulous job..as always!
Have a happy, happy weekend!
This is absolutely amazing! I usually like yellow, but I am totally digging what you did with that space!
Those hooks are PERFECT! It’s like they were made for that space. Love it. That foyer just keeps getting prettier and prettier.
Somehow I missed this! So glad it showed up on the top of my Facebook wall today, because it’s FABULOUS! What a difference some stenciling and board and batten makes, and then all of the finishing touches are the icing on the cake. I saw a garden stool like that at Marshall’s several months ago, and talked myself out of buying it. Now I could kick myself. I’ve looked every time I’m in there since, and they have never had more. Boo!! And of course, the price is at least double everywhere else I look. Oh well. Glad you grabbed it, because it looks great in your entryway.
Beth!! Your entryway is gorgeous!! I love the color. So so pretty. You did a wonderful job.
I featured it on my TT&J facebook page
Have a super weekend my friend!
xoxo

This turned out absolutely gorgeous, Beth!!
Love the color AND the stencil!
I love your foyer! The stenciling is amazing too! I’m hoping you rescued your cute dog from an Amish puppy mill, they are the worst!!
Love the fresh color and the stenciling!! Awesome job!
Wow Beth, it turned out just fabulous! Love the color, and all the details. Just beautiful!
You did a wonderful job! The color is just beautiful!!
What a truly lovely space! This is my first visit, but I’ll be back for more!
It looks darling! I love all the details-especially the bird hooks.
Just plain lovely!!! I love the color paint you chose and how you chose to finish the room off!
i don’t know how i missed this, beth, but i’m in love with your transformation! the combination of the stencil & the paint color totally freshens up the space. what a wonderful way to come home!
Hey, girl, I saw that sneak peek & couldn’t wait to see more. Love, love the stencil, looks gorgeous in that space. In fact I have that same stencil tucked away & would love to break it out & use it somewhere. Unfortunately, I don’t think it’s going in my parent’s house.
xoxo
LOVE!!! I have a stencil from Royal Design Studio coming…can’t wait to use it! Beautiful!

Also, if you have a list of favorite link parties, I’d love to be included on Fridays. Thanks a ton!
Beth,
I found this on Pintrest and clicked on it because I’ve been thinking about doing this for our dining room and wanted to see if there was a tutorial not even realizing that this was YOUR post!
So you can only use acrylic not lacquer? How time consuming was this?
AND HELLO! HOW HAVE YOU BEEN?!
It looks great! I love your stencil job and the little bird hangers!
MAN!I WISH I had the balls to stencil my entry way! =(
I need to grow some and get over my envy..hhaha!
Great Job!!

Fantastic! Luv it! Beth, could you post a close up of how you tapered the boards at the bottom of the wall? Or at least I think you did. I used 1 by 6 for my floor molding with a flat edge on top and the vertical boards strait on bottom, what a dust collection spot! I don’t know what I was thinking.
This is beautiful! I’ve been looking for inspiration for our porch/entry and I might have to try a few of your inspirations from yours! Thanks for sharing!
I think you did an AWESOME job!
It’s fabulous! What an awesome statement. The stencil, the board and batten, the details like the bird hooks – it’s all fabulous! I read your guest post on Emily Clark’s blog too and I could relate – I unsuccessfully had yellow and red in my home too.
Ok…that is the bomb.com! I love it! It looks so neat and chic! You guys make these projects look SO easy…and then someone like me tries and it is a complete FAIL! LOL
Great work Beth! You inspire me a lot. Awesome design. I love the stencil.
Just checked out your project gallery and found this post ! Love the stencil on the wall!
