Adding Board & Batten Alongside Coat Hooks To The Foyer By The Front Door

A little bit of us is consistently envious of a proper entryway in a home (since both of ours have been simply a door that opens into a room). Plus, with our own plans to do some sort of board and batten in our hallway eventually, we are totally loving Jenna Sue’s sweet makeover of her foyer. Here is her email:

We are in the middle of 92,835 projects at our house, but we lately completed one that we are fairly proud of and I thought I’d pass it your way. Our entryway began out with old white faux marble tile floors, metallic floral wallpaper, and a low-cost outdated light fixture.

We ended up replacing the floor with travertine-style porcelain tile, DIYing board and batten with coat hooks, adding a fresh coat of paint, and a new rustic light fixture.

I designed some art for the space and voila!

We enjoy the open feeling you get when you walk into the house now, it is such a breath of fresh air.

Thanks for looking, and I cannot wait to see how your kitchen turns out (we are adding open shelving in ours soon too, cannot wait!) -Jenna Sue

You can read more about the processand see extra photos of the foyer-y goodness here on her journal. And if you are pining over some of her art, she’s got a shop where you can snag your own. Thanks so much for sharing Jenna Sue! Let us play the go-to-part game. Sherry loves the board and batten along with the cool industrial light and I am into those dark coat hooks (along with the board and batten).
