I thought since I started with the foyer, I would finish that off this evening. As you can see we have wreathes and red and white poinsettia on the banister. I made the wreathes a couple of years ago, I was tired of the same old garland so I decided to make a change.
The bells at the end of the railing I purchased at a small shop that I frequent during the holiday season named Ivanka’s.
The garland that you see photographed on either side of the foyer which leads into our living room and dining room I made a few years back using some old garland we had around and some frosted fruit I purchased. Believe it or not it took a while to get the fruit to be placed just right.
I took one of my smaller French pots and filled them with some balls that I had and this candle holder I purchased from Michael’s put some glass lighted garland I had around.
On the other side is my small table I repainted a few months back now and that has some ceramic snowmen that I painted about 15 years ago and I added my candy cane topiary, as I call it, that I made and added a Christmas tree encased in glass that I purchased at a craft show a couple of years ago.
In our foyer we have two closets and on top of them the are open and we put two small lighted trees up there to add some Christmas flair. I hope you enjoy the rest of the pictures of our foyer.

Your foyer looks so pretty! I like how you changed up the banister by using wreaths. Looks like you have a similar foyer as mine with the high ceiling and lots of stairs. Makes for a grand entrance!
Yes it does, I love out foyer.

Very pretty, Cynthia! I love your snowmen and that candy can topiary is just wonderful. The tree looks so special under the cloche. It all makes for a very welcoming Christmas foyer!
Thank you so very much.

It looks great, Cynthia. Love all the wreaths on the staircase and especially like the trees on the closet tops – the light looks great from them.
Heather thank you so much for your kind words.
