While we are all cooped up indoors due to the cold winter weather, I am starting back refreshing our home! The last room I refreshed before the Fall decorating started was the laundry room.
If you missed any of my home refresh blog post, you could check them all HERE.
I asked a friend who is an interior designer to determine my home style. I never really knew what my styled actually was, I always said I was a Hines 57 type of home decor person. But she gave me a name for the style I love to decorate our home with.
Drum Roll, please …. the style I love so much is labeled Warm Transitional style.
A warm transitional home style:
- Neutral color palettes often made up of creams, tans, and grays
- Uses pops of colors through accent pieces
- focuses on layering
- Statement lighting
- Comfortable and practical furniture
It does fit my style, don’t you think?
OK, back to my home projects!
For my first project I decided to tackle a small room, the entryway. Here it is after I removed all the Christmas decorations.
To get the project started I removed everything from the room.
I’ve been thinking of refreshing the entryway since I added the entryway table in the space. I know I want to paint the board and batten and apply a wall treatment up on the painted part of the wall. I am even contemplating painting both of the doors the same color I paint the board and batten.
You may be wondering why I would even want to paint the wall since we have white trim throughout our home. Well, my goal is to complete our home with a sense of flow from room by room with the same look, style and color.
First things first, I like to start all my room projects with a mood board. Here are the things I gathered up to place in the space. Even a photo of the inspirational table I found on Pinterest I like. It gives a feeling of a warm welcoming to our guest when entering the space.
The New Refresh Foyer – Mood Board and Inspirational Photo
The paint color I have been using in our home for accent walls and also the furniture in the kitchen nook is Functional Gray by Sherwin Williams.
Here is what Sherwin Williams says about the color, functional gray.
It is a versatile and sophisticated color choice for interior spaces. This soft greige hue effortlessly blends warm beiges with cool grays, creating a timeless and calming atmosphere. Functional Gray pairs beautifully with crisp whites, soft taupe, and rich charcoals, offering endless possibilities for creating a modern and inviting space.
Besides painting the white board and batten, I am going to apply peel and stick wallpaper to the painted walls above the board and batten.
When picking out the wallpaper for the foyer, I decided to keep it neutral and the same colors as the wallpapers I have in the other rooms.

Laundry Room
For the foyer I kept it in the same color scheme but with a larger pattern to make a statement. I found the wallpaper NuWallpaper Grey Cayman Peel & Stick Wallpaper, Neutral on Amazon. The texture of the wallpaper is quite stunning. It has a linen type of look and feel.
If you take a quick look at all three wallpapers I have applied in our home, they all three have a linen background and greyish design pattern.
Another new item I purchased was a mirror to place above the table. I added the large wooden frame mirror when decorating the foyer for 2024 Fall season.
I will be placing a black metal frame mirror to the space. I found the mirror on the clearance shelf in Hobby Lobby. The size of the black mirror fits the table better than the large wooden mirror I had there before.
The last item I ‘ll share with you I want to change is the area rug.
Instead of a small area rug I will be styling a 2’x 6′ runner in the space instead. I found the Beeiva Checkered 2’x 6′ runner in taupe and slate.
I chose a diamond pattern to pair with the large floral pattern wallpaper to keep the space from looking too chaotic.
If all works the way I plan, I will be sharing the entryway refresh Friday. I hope you come by and see how the space looks with all my changes.
