There is a foyer/library table for sale at one of my used furniture haunts. It's tempting me, but as you can see, it needs some TLC.
Can you even handle those feet? to die for.
Seems a little familiar...

My great Aunt Annie had a fountain in her foyer. I remember being overly impressed with this at a really young age. I love these tables and the grandness of it all!
ReplyDeleteA dear friend has a foyer to die for and her little one has a cardboard house to play in there, with a wonderful long table - and I have often dreamt of a foyer artist studio.

I think you NEED that gorgeous little table!
ReplyDeleteBit of trivia...I once picked up a small table from the curb of a neighbor in our former Houston 'hood. The neighbor was an Enron employee, and had picked it up when all the company's furnishings had been liquidated. I didn't have room for it, but thought it would be a great convo piece, considering the Enron story. It now sits, front and center, in my aunt's large foyer!
Get the table! I love a grand foyer - all the pictures are so lovely!
ReplyDeleteI really like the huge chandeliers above the tables. Creates alot of drama.
ReplyDeleteLOVE it, DO IT!!! Looks like a GREAT project to me!!! =D
ReplyDeletePS, I always love seeing all the pictures of things you love on here. It makes me not feel so bad for all of the "temptations" I have! LOL
love love LOVE a big arrengment to welcome people. Plus, i love the idea of having a beautiful christmas tree in the foyer for the holidays. currently hunting for a small table for our entry and my husband keeps having to remind me that our space is more of a hall than a foyer, but I can't stop dreaming!
ReplyDeleteNice! I want a big foyer too, but I want one that has lots of closet space!
ReplyDeletegorgeous! i really like the table front and center in the foyer area....and appreciate it on a smaller scale too.
ReplyDeletethat little table is GREAT....if you have a space for it i say go for it!
Yes, get the table!! Great examples of foyers as rooms. I'd like one too!!
ReplyDeleteummm...BUY THAT TABLE!!! ;)
ReplyDeleteOH! I love the entry table in the foyer look!!! Hopefully you bought that table! GORGEOUS!!
ReplyDeleteI love it! It's my dream to have a huge table in the foyer as well. Right now, It would probably still turn into a dumping ground for all my crap! Ha!
ReplyDeleteOH how I would love to have a foyer that is big enough for a table...one day.
ReplyDeleteAh I dream of a day when I can have a foyer like those.
ReplyDeleteMy foyer is so teeny tiny that if I tried putting a table in there I would have to crawl over or below it to get in and out of the house. :)
But since we are taking dream foyers I'll say I'll play your dream neighbor since you will soon be in my hood!
it totally has your name on it....
ReplyDeleteI'd love a big round table in the middle of my foyer (or rather I'd love a foyer big enough for a big round table!).
ReplyDeleteOh I agree! I would love a foyer with a big table, smack dab in the middle! But unless I win the lottery, I'm not buying a house like that in the Boston area any time soon. The pics are great eye candy in the meantime!
ReplyDeleteWant it. I actually like thats its a little beat up.
ReplyDeleteMy dream foyer hosts the first table
ReplyDeleteI adore foyers! Maybe in my next home! :) They aren't that common though here in AZ. Kinda like basements.
ReplyDeleteI think you need that table! I love it.
ReplyDeleteA foyer would be another drop zone in my house.
Ever since I saw one of the houses Tori & Dean lived in with their foyer table I feel in love. Fingers crossed I can buy or build a house with a foyer big enough. I love this look.
ReplyDeleteYOu don't know me. I've been stalking your blog for a short while and I have to say, "Get it, Get It!" Or can I get it? I serious love that table, work and all.
ReplyDeleteBUY IT STAT! It's gorgeous and it's an unusual shape. I think you might kick yourself if you don't!! You can do the TLC! Hello! You made pelmets out of FOAM CORE, you can do anything. And birthed a child on your ottoman. BUY IT, sista!
ReplyDeleteVery friendly bossing implied. Hope you take no offense!
Jed Johnsons work never gets old.. he was wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI now have no foyer but I still have tables by the doors.. ( antique chinese and a Thonet glass top dining table)
I still use these foyers as inspiration, the color of those pale blue walls .. and that velvet sofa in the cinnamon color ! I have to have that color in my living room !
I love this blog :)
Oh, this might mean you need a country house, my dear, instead of city-dwelling. We love living in a small town outside of the city. Have you decided yet?
ReplyDeletesuch a beautiful find, the table. I love the look of a grand foyers... all the photos are fab.
ReplyDeletei love them!!! always wished i'd have a foyer for one in a house someday...
ReplyDeletexoxo
That first foyer pic is to die for! So soo beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYeah, my table would be clean for one day. The day I installed it. The moment after the first day, it would look like a pile of junk....kids backpacks, mail, husbands pocket junk, phone book, okay my craft purchase of the day too. It's a lovely vision, the first day I mean.
ReplyDeleteYES please! I have always wanted one of those too. GREAT one that you found!
ReplyDeleteWow. That top photo ... did I say wow?
ReplyDeleteAnd, I think that little table you found is darling, even without any TLC. I can only imagine what you could do with it.
That is my secret most desired house thing as well! I can make anything else work, but this is just one those ' it is or it isn't' things. Sigh. Someday.
ReplyDeleteTotally with you on the grand foyer wish. I just know any table in my foyer would end up littered with phones, chargers, coins and mail!
ReplyDeleteomg you need to get that foyer table! It is beautiful and so versatile!
ReplyDeleteOh yes! You should def. get that cute Empire table. My dining table has feet like that & I just love the style. You could do so much with it!
ReplyDeleteThis cracks me up because I feel the SAME EXACT WAY, and I know you might not even know what this is, but when the old TV show "7th Heaven" premiered, I had total foyer envy because they had a huge round table in theirs. I STILL think about it sometimes.
ReplyDeleteA formal entry is such a wonderful luxury -- would love to have one grand enough to hold a beautiful table (and some Gracie or de Gournay wallpaper on the walls!)
ReplyDeleteThat table is gorgeous. You must buy it!
ReplyDeletethis table rocks. really cool ... and the blog is really cool..
ReplyDeleteThis foyer Table is really cool and beautifull.. thanks for sharing it .
ReplyDeleteGRAB THAT TABLE!!! It dates back to about 1870 and is Second Empire and those pieces are usually well made. Paint it in black enamel and you'll have it forever!
ReplyDeleteI am lucky enough to have a huge center hall and I do have a round table under the chandlier. But is is really a piece of folk art as it is hand-carved with bird and heart detail on the legs. Not a traditional piece at all but so unusual and my sweet husband gave it to me!
