Festive Foyer...

Yea, I know, no red... Still, nicely done... Here's the thing, though, you see a lot of trees set up in foyers and I have to wonder why. Sure, it's a great look, but unless there's a main 'family' tree elsewhere, who wants to sit around in the foyer on Christmas Day opening presents... Foyer trees can look nice and don't require wrapped packages to look finished, but if there are wrapped packages, the foyer tree might be a good place for gifts that are leaving the house...

In my pantry with my cupcakes...

I had to laugh because that is what we did at the last house we lived in. Tree in the foyer but we could see from the living room, garland up the staircase!

But I had more stuff on the garland, and big bows with streamers at each end. And people could see the tree from the street, so it was part. of the outdoor decoration too!

I like it, minus the gold. I am a silver gal all the way! I use very little red at my house, @stevieb , my main color is blue. A very long time ago on some now defunct HGTV designer show, some designer said to use ONE main color throughour your seasonal designs, so I try to follow that rule for the holidays, seasonal etc.

But I also used to decorate for every freakin holiday...now I only do Autumn and Christmas.

I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend, til death, your right to say it

I love this look and style and don't use any red when decorating for Christmas so keep the photos coming!

@stevieb

Even though I miss a bit of red, I think it's pretty and elegant. I agree with your comments about a tree in the foyer. I guess if you have room, it's a nice place to put a tree. I agree a foyer tree might be a good place for presents you're taking somewhere else.

@stevieb ITA! Very very nice and NOT gaudy. I can't stand gaudy. This is perfect.

I like it except when people put fake presents under a tree or those with wrapping paper that exactly matches the tree. Too much!! Just not my style.

@stevieb it's nicely done, but I admit I do miss the red. Thst being said, how lovely and charming to be greeted by that tree as a guest in that home.
