Earlier this year we updated the pathway of our entryway with these gorgeous pavers. They united the space and widen the path to the front door. Check out  How to Install Cement Pavers for a Beautiful Entryway   post for all the details on how to install and get the look.

Here’s what we decided to do . This gorgeous, hanging brass light fixture was in our home right in our foyer area. It hung so low that it made the ceiling seem lower than it really is. Moving this hanging light fixture outside, to our entryway updated both spaces. We used this one outside and I have bought a different one for this space.

1- remove the hanging light fixture.

2- We painted the area where the new light fixture would be hung. The old light fixture was bigger, once removed two different colors were exposed so we painted all one same color.

3- I am lucky enough to be married to a man who knows all about electricity. His years in the CG prepared him for all those electrical house projects we have been doing around here. Next step was to get the light fixture all wired up and connected.

4- We did some paint touch ups here and there – since the paint was out already. The entryway had chipped paint from previous Christmas decoration, so we went ahead and painted over that.

Finally, it all came together. The hanging light fixture matched perfectly with the lanterns that I already had. In this case having a hanging fixture attracted the eye up towards the ceiling making the space appear larger.

In the end, our entryway is full of life, its inviting and full of so many details that entice the eyes. The white space contrasts against the all the greenery and I am obsessed with how everything has worked together so beautifully. The entry mat and the paver’s color tones look amazing together.
