One Room Challenge Week 3 | The Foyer Vignette

One Room Challenge Week 3 | Foyer Vignette | Designthusiasm.com

Welome back to the One Week Challenge! This is Week 3 of the challenge to transform a room in six weeks and I’ve spent the last few days styling a foyer vignette on the chest in the back entryway. If you missed the first two posts you can catch up here. For Week 1, I showed you my vision and plans for the space and in Week 2 I revealed the essential furniture pieces. Now I’m moving into the more decorative phase where I begin to accessorize.

My vision for this space coincides with my overall design sense, as I try to ensure incorporating all of the key elements that define my style. Most of my favorites are duly represented, with gilding and patina leading the charge.

The three mercury glass candlestick holders lend a note of shimmer, which balances nicely against the more aged and worn components. Crystal bobeches take the theme one step further.

The palette is soft and nearly neutral, giving the vignette just the mood I was hoping for. I’m striving for fresh and current, while channeling a look that honors the past.

The most important item is the little gilded box, which I’ve kept by the door for many years. I’m a staunch believer in using beautiful objects to store our things and keep us organized. This box corrals our keys so that we always know exactly where to find them after breezing in and dropping them off. (Ok, truth be told, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve come home to find several rings of keys right *next to* the box!)

The mossy orbs are a lovely way to add greenery to a small vignette. This chest is quite small and there are no windows in the room, so it’s difficult to keep fresh flowers here. The inclusion of moss keeps the grouping from looking too sterile and colorless.

The mix of materials and textures offers the interest I was looking for.

The garden statue is one of my favorite pieces and I think it gives the vignette, as well as the entire space, its essential character. I’m utterly smitten with chippy patina and will be looking for more of these vintage statues.

The crystal and mercury glass works so nicely playing off the warm-toned gilded mirror.

Peeking out between the candlesticks you can glimpse the little teacup painting I’ve tucked against the mirror. The gentle floral pattern on the china is a nod to one of my defining elements.

A vintage silver sugar bowl is put to good use, raising one of the mossy balls to a more varied height.

This is precisely the type of vignette that makes me smile when I arrive home, as it includes so many of my favorite elements. Next week I’ll move on to another section of the room, so be sure to stay tuned as the room progresses.

    This is beautiful. I love that you’ve incorporated gold, mercury glass, chippy and mossy textures all in one spot.

    Hope you’ll link with us at Thoughts of Home on Thursday. We’d love to have you.

    You achieved your desires. Just beautiful, Lory! I love the gold box idea for your keys, too–great way to disguise the utilitarian items. We just throw ours in a drawer container. Sorry about the slow response–I’ve been helping out my cousin who is going through chemo, and then again for another week after her surgery next week, so things have been hectic. Know you will enjoy the visual every time you enter your home.

Instagram post 2196671438893694755_231271655 One thing I love to do when doing a holiday or winter table is to mix warmth with cool.  So while my pinecones are channeling the snowy outdoors (which we already have!), the candlelight is saying it’s warm inside. How about you?  Are you the outdoors type when it’s cold outside or are you sitting by the fire for the next few months?
Instagram post 2195312059054166851_231271655 I’m pretty much ok with anything as long as it has a touch of pink and a touch of gold. So you can imagine how much I love baubles in pink gold! They look great on a white tree, a flocked tree, a bronze tree and of course on natural greens. It may be the warmth that I love so much, but its also the rosy glow. What’s your palette this year?
Instagram post 2194570202632900972_231271655 A few years ago I saw my first winter peonies and it completely rocked my world! That these heartbreakingly beautiful flowers were only available for a few weeks in May seemed like such a cruel joke, but of course now we have them at holiday time too! 🙌

Instagram post 2193138002285287076_231271655 I’ve been looking for a little peace and tranquility in my life, and at this crazy time of year, I find adding some simple romantic decor to my home gives me that sense of calm that I'm craving. All it takes is some fresh greens, pretty blooms and some scattered baubles and I’m all set.
Instagram post 2191507211539309998_231271655 Before there was pink, my favorite tree was the white tree, and I think this may still be my fave! I’ve fallen so in love with winter peonies and they work so well with my pale tree and blush pink baubles. Throw in a bit of gold and you’re good to go!⁣
Instagram post 2190058480484768860_231271655 Happy Monday everyone! I’m so excited to be hosting a holiday entertaining blog hop today. (Tap the image for the other participants.)
