Check out my foyer before it got a little TLC....
Just a plain, dull, boring wall....
Until the board and batten was added....(HERE)
I painted the b and b, refinished my entry way table (you can read about that HERE)....
and had a brand new entry way....
and had a brand new entry way....
But something was missing.
The wall above looked plain.
It needed something else.
So, I bought three 16x20 frames, and mats to go in the frames.
To hang them like I wanted, I measured and taped up a piece of paper (the insert that came out of the frame)
Then, with a pencil, I poked a hole in the paper just where I needed the nail to go...once I took down the paper, I had a mark on the wall just where I needed it....
And here is my finish foyer!
L.O.V.E.
I couldn't decide what I wanted to put in the frames......
So, for now, I have my children's Thanksgiving art work in it....and afterwards, I think I will put some of their Christmas art up. I like this idea because it shows off their work, and I can change it out whenever I want. If it's not a holiday season I can always just put a fun photo or another piece of artwork!
What a great way to display their work! (and I won't get bored with just ONE photo in there all the time!)
So let's take one more look, shall we???
Here is my foyer BEFORE!
...and AFTER...
Hope you like it as much as I do!!!!!

Paige, that is truly beautiful! I'd love to try board and batten in my master bedroom. Thanks for the inspiration!
Thanks for sharing at My Backyard Eden!
I really love board and batten. I have to restrain myself from using it everywhere.
I love your recent room makeovers... just fabulously done!

Paige, you did such a great job! I am getting a lot of inspiration from your projects. I need to re-do my foyer, because right now it's a storage area for 3 pieces of furniture that need to go somewhere else. Thanks so much for sharing!
I love it! Great job! I love the idea of rotating children's art work! What a fun way to display their hard work! I have tons of art just sitting in piles because I can't throw them away, but I don't want to hang them up, either. Great idea!
BEAUTIFUL!! that would be great in my kitchen or bath.
WOW it looks so awesome! I love the board and batten treatment!
Thanks so much for stopping by the Free for All party!
