My whole plan for our bedroom foyer is coming together very well. A couple of days ago, I shared that I had narrowed down my ceiling light options to five choices. Yesterday, I made my decision, and I went with this one from Wayfair (affiliate link).

The reason I selected that one is because it’s the brightest of the options with four light bulbs, but it’s also dimmable. But also, I do plan to have a gold-framed full-length mirror in the foyer, so using one of the options that were mostly gold plus a gold-framed mirror seemed like a little too much gold. Plus, I just love the shape of this one. I think it’ll be perfect in the bedroom foyer.

And speaking of mirrors, I’ve found the perfect mirror at Hobby Lobby. I couldn’t believe it when I saw it. It’s 60″ high and 30″ wide, which is a perfect size. And the shape is also great. I didn’t purchase it when I saw it because my van was full of molding, so I’ll have to go back today and pick it up. It’s only $99! Here’s what it looks like…

I really do want to use sconces on either side of the mirror, but I’m still undecided on those. My preference would be to use hardwired sconces because having lighting hardwired is just so much more convenient than having wireless rechargeable lighting. I’m not very good at keeping up with rechargeable lighting. And I do still have the sconces that were in our previous bedroom that I can reuse. I like the simple design, and those white shades would look beautiful against the teal grasscloth wallpaper.

But if I decide to go with the wireless/rechargeable route, I really like these sconces from Amazon (affiliate link). And you can’t beat that price! Two sconces for $59.99.

I have to laugh because I keep poaching things from this area to use elsewhere. I used the French doors to make a cabinet for our bathroom. The artwork is now in my closet. And now, one of the benches will be used in the foyer.

I thought one of these benches might work in the foyer, but I didn’t realize just how perfectly it would work. I mean, the size looks like it was made to go here! I’m pretty excited that I won’t have to build anything from scratch for the foyer.

Obviously, the color is all wrong, so I will need to reupholster it. And I still think that I’d like the bench to have a little pleated skirt on it. I don’t want the skirt to go all the way to the floor, though.

And even when the doors are open, there’s still plenty of room to sit on the bench. Again, I just need a place to sit and put on my shoes when I’m getting ready.

And with the bench in place, there’s still plenty of room to get by. There’s at least five feet of space between the corner of the bench and the opposite wall.

So as a reminder, this is what our bedroom suite foyer looks like right now…

And this is the wall where I plan to incorporate a full-length mirror. So when entering the bedroom suite, the mirror will be front and center. Well, not quite center, but you know what I mean. It’ll be right there, so it’ll be one of the first things seen when entering the bedroom suite.

And then on this wall, I plan to put an upholstered bench that I can use if I need to sit down and put on my shoes.

I still haven’t figured out the details of that upholstered bench. I’m not sure if I want it to be built in or a movable bench. And while I do want the top to be upholstered, I don’t think it can have a full skirt on it like the ottomans that are in our entryway.

And the reason for that is because I need to put a passthrough on this wall for Felicity. So it’ll be small and low in the bottom corner of this wall.

That means she’ll need to be able to pass under the upholstered bench, and a full skirt would eventually get dirty with her rubbing against it all the time. But I want her to be able to come and go as she pleases because we’ll be sleeping with the bedroom doors closed each night, and Felicity sleeps on me every night. She usually leaves and comes back at least once every night (and I sleep right through it). She wouldn’t be pleased at all if she’s either locked in or locked out of our room at night.

So I need to come up with a design for the upholstered bench that will kind of hide that little passthrough hole and allow her to pass under the bench without rubbing up against fabric each time. That makes me think either a separate, movable bench with a short skirt or a built-in bench with an upholstered top would be the two options that would work for that purpose.

Anyway, another detail I’ve been thinking about is the mirror. Until the last few days, I had been planning on using the mirror that I made for the guest bedroom. You can see it to the right of the door in this photo…

Of course, I wouldn’t want it to be yellow, so I had planned on gold leafing the frame. But I’ve decided not to use that mirror after all.

I could do a simple arched top. I really like this one with the understated gold frame. This one is from Wayfair (affiliate link).

But I also like this one with the wider frame. The frame on this one kind of adds a more modern look to it. This one is also from Wayfair (affiliate link).

This one would also work perfectly. I like how the design on the bottom is like the design I plan to use for our headboard. This mirror is from Amazon (affiliate link). The shape of this one is probably my favorite, but my only issue is the size. The widest I’ve found in this design is 24″, and I was hoping for something at least 30″ wide. I’m afraid a 24″-wide mirror might look too small on that wall.

So those are really the only three options I’ve found so far. Like I said, it’s slim pickings when you rule out anything with a filigree design. In a perfect world where I could always get my way, this mirror would come in a full-length size in a width of at least 30 inches. But it doesn’t. This is a tiny mirror, but I love that it’s different. I like different. This small mirror is from Amazon (affiliate link).

So I’m going to keep looking, but I know for sure that I won’t be using the mirror that I already have. I need something with curves, but nothing with a filigree design. It’s difficult to find something unique within those parameters.
