As residence decorators, our adorning tastes and elegance change over time. Come see all of the lobby adorning I've completed over the past two years and see how the lobby has developed.
I like to see how decor in a house modifications over time. And it’s at all times attention-grabbing to see how my favourite bloggers replace and alter the rooms of their properties! So I assumed you may prefer to see how our lobby has developed together with my fashion since we first moved into Tanglewood.
Immediately my good running a blog buddies Ann from On Sutton Place and Lory from Designthusiam are becoming a member of me as we share our foyers and the modifications they’ve gone by means of. We’re all “rightsizers” as Lory places it. And that is a part of the Downsizing Collection we’re doing collectively. Ensure you go to their foyers! Their hyperlinks are on the finish of this put up.
The rooms at Tanglewood appear to undergo tons and plenty of modifications! Partly as a result of the fashion of this home is sort of completely different from StoneGable and partly as a result of I’m nonetheless looking for a stability between an open idea residence and the furnishings that work greatest in it. And getting used to a brand new downsized residence is a little more of a problem than I assumed it could be!
I simply made a couple of new modifications to our lobby, once more, and thought you may prefer to see how the lobby has modified within the final two and nearly a half years.
Let me simply refresh your reminiscence and present you the lobby at StoneGable…
I struggled with the rooms in StoneGable too! However after dwelling there for twenty-four years I may nearly adorn our farmhouse in my sleep!
Our lobby at StoneGable was giant and spacious and open on one finish to the lounge and the opposite finish to the eating room.
Over time I had refined my farmhouse fashion to be much less chippy and rustic and extra upscale and impartial.
Once we moved into our Tanglewood home the adorning studying curve was steep, particularly within the lobby!

Right here is how the lobby seemed on the October day we moved to Tanglewood in 2019.
The lobby is L-O-N-G! Twenty-two ft lengthy and opens as much as our lounge. Nonetheless, I contemplate the primary portion from the entrance door to the sq. posts the true lobby!

That brings you updated with all of the modifications within the lobby.
WHAT WE HAVE LEFT TO DO
The most important factor we’ve left to do within the lobby is to put in hardwood flooring. I’ve gone forwards and backwards for 2 years and eventually have determined that I actually can’t stay any longer with the tile within the lobby! Now all I’ve to do is persuade Bobby.
The opposite huge venture will have an effect on the loft. The entrance a part of the lobby is open to the loft above the lobby. We’re having new spindles and newel posts and railing put in. So a lot of the oak wooden shall be going! Yay!
