I know…I know!  I am so far behind in bringing you my Christmas inspiration.  I just can’t seem to get with it this year. 🙁  Today I am finally showing you my first completed room, Our Foyer.

I shared a couple of my projects I created for the foyer.  First was how I made my DIY Cone Christmas Trees, if you missed that tutorial you can go {{HERE}}.  I also shared with you how I added Santa Snow to my Christmas tree.  If you missed my tutorial you can go {{HERE}}.  Now, I will share with you my Christmas Foyer.

Welcome to Our Foyer!

I decided to decorate this room in rose gold.  A while back I painted the foyer to look like shiplap.  Without natural lighting this room needed some brightening up.  If you missed the blog on Our Foyer Makeover, you can go {{HERE}}.  The white walls did brighten the room up a bit.

I changed up the main wall decor for the Christmas season.  I replaced the cabinet doors with a framed piece, I found the frame at Kirkland’s on the clearance shelf earlier this summer.

Here is one similar to my frame picture from Kirkland’s Purple Botanical Art.

I fell in love with the sconce I found on Amazon.  I place one on each side of the frame.

I added some fake snow and 3 Dollar Tree battery operated tealights.

Here is the sconce – Design Toscano Tuscan Hanging Candeliere Glass Pendant Sconce.

On the floor under the table is a wire basket, inside I placed ornaments loosely at the bottom along with a Merry Christmas pillow and a throw.

I linked the items (or similar items) for you if you are interested in taking a look.

• Oval Wire Basket
• Ornaments 
• Merry Christmas Pillow
• Throw

On the table are my DIY Christmas Cone Trees.  If you miss that tutorial click {{HERE}}.  If you do not like doing DIY I have found similar trees for you to purchase to achieve the look.  I found a set of 3 on Amazon Glittered Cone Christmas.

In the center I placed a bowl with ornaments and evergreen sprigs.

To the other side of the table.

I placed a candle stick with a candle, I added the ribbon to the candle to give it a little bling.

Very easy to do.  I grabbed a thin sparkly ribbon, cut the length to fit around the candle.  Glued the two ends of the ribbon tightly around the candle.  Took a smaller piece of ribbon made a loop and added a smaller piece around the loop to create a bow.  Hot glued it onto the ribbon.

I just thought it gave it a little more pizazz.

I had this white star for a while, took it out and gave it a little makeover. Spray painted it a metallic copper with a top coat of gold glitter spray.  I took a Dollar Tree glass candle stick, gave it a little glitter, after it dried I mod podged it all over to secure the glitter.  Hot glued the star on top of the candle stick, this gave a little height to the star.

I shared with you the Dollar Tree little reindeer that I painted rose gold.

My Christmas foyer table.

I had enough room to add one of my 6 foot Christmas tree to the corner where normally the coat rack stands.  I shared how I decorated the tree, if you missed the tutorial you can go {{HERE}}.

Used iridescent mesh ribbon, rose gold sheer wired ribbon, white and rose gold ornaments for the tree’s decorations.

Under the tree; I placed my little bicycle planter, 2 Dollar Tree copper gift boxes and my little thrift store stool.  On the stool I placed some mini ornaments in a glass container and a Believe word.

This is Our Christmas Foyer.  I hope you found something that inspired you.  Thank you for stopping by.  I will be sharing more rooms in our home all dressed up for Christmas.  I hope you enjoy my Christmas home.

Decorating our home on a budget is my thrill.   I think a home can look beautiful without breaking the bank.    Your home should bring the best out of you and make you feel happy.  You should smile every time you enter your home. 🙂
