I think we have officially come full circle. Back in May I started my foyer/staircase makeover and knew that since I had waited so long for this makeover, I wanted to do it right and that starts with lighting. I have always said how important the foyer/entrance is. Literally anyone who knocks on your door will see this space. They might not see your bathroom, great room, or even the master bedroom, but the foyer sets the tone and style for the rest of the home so why not take time to have the perfect lighting and colors.
Here are some of the before pictures, it was a builders grade chandelier in an aged brass. Not bad. I tried to uplift them with cylinder black lampshades by Ballard Designs. But it still wasn’t the right fit for our home.
Well, around the same time I started my staircase makeover I was finishing a client project which include light fixtures for the main areas. I had seen the Darlana Lantern in a shop but knew it would work great in a foyer or staircase. The client grabbed two lantern chandeliers in polished chrome, a mini for the entrance, and a larger one for the staircase. I truly loved the look which was enough for me to go ahead and grabbed my Darlana Foyer Lantern too.
