About This Space

The original foyer had glossy hunter green tile and no ZIP. Since there are not vaulted ceilings to create drama by looking UP we decided to make people look DOWN at the floor.

I love your entire house! Great Job! Besides the floor my entryway is already very similar to yours! Do you have 8 foot ceilings?

KarenSpirit,
thanks for you comments!
Yes, all interior doors on the mail floor are painted Black Onyx, a Benjamin Moore color.

dana922,
the light was purchased from a local lighting store. I believe the manufacturer is Hudson Lighting.

This is just gorgeous! I am crazy over all the trim work. I love it. I love the color too. I use a lot of Benjamin Moore greenish tones in my spaces. What a great idea of bringing the eye down instead of up. You are an inspiration!!

I added this to my favorites! The floor is incredible and the moulding work! Did you paint the doors black? I looked through to try to find the answer in your feedback and didn't see any comment from you about it, please share with me what you did, I love it. Karen
