Anyone have any photos or pics they'd like to share?  I've browsed through so many I've lost tract of what I like or want.  Any recommendations or experiences you'd like to share?

Re: Foyer Light/Hanging Pendant

I'm sure you've thought of this, but make sure that you measure exactly how low the light can hang in the foyer before it becomes a problem.  I was going to get a hanging light but realized that when the door opens there wasn't enough clearance.  I have to measure carefully before I buy a light for that area.  As such, I've left the rather uninspiring original fixture there.  I have a tiny house and front foyer, though.

Re: Foyer Light/Hanging Pendant

When we got married in 1983 my Grandpa bought us a beautiful chandelier for our entry, which was 1 1/2 stories high. It was the ones that were popular at that time with the glass sides - ours has flowers etched in the glass - and it hung behind a beautiful high window and looked great from outside. Of course the new owners took it down and hung something more current, but I loved that beautiful light.I loved when I'd get home from work on a cold night , all tired out, and DH had that light on to greet me, and light the staircase.

Your 'mind's eye' hasn't forgotten that light...keep it glowing in memory and heartđź’•

At Christmas we would buy a huge wreath to hang around the outside of that octagon shaped window and put just a big red velvet bow on it . Light the chandelier behind it - and a spotlight on it from outside.

Re: Foyer Light/Hanging Pendant

I'm a really big fan of the craftsman style. I especially like the simple, art deco designs of this genre.
