Okay, the view out the window says that one picture isn't from Atlanta. I think the owner's primary home is in Atlanta.

Also looking for mudroom/laundry combo inspiration.

Thanks!


I found a lot of examples of tall foyers where trim was added to make the height an asset.



Changing to metal banisters to modernize?





Another one with a ton of trim.


I don't love everything in here, but the furniture placement is good and the size of the light fixture looks pretty nice.




Just a glimpse, but another blogger who added trim.

Would you like painted brick or tile inspiration? Happy to oblige!


Tile please! I think I have an idea of how white paint would look in our house. Thanks, OP. You're awesome!!

That second to last two story foyer is stunning. Well done!

Agreed. I wonder how they decide which row of trim will be what size. In that one, there’s one layer that’s square. Maybe that’s floor level with the second story and there is wainscoting you there.

Not sure if the goal is modern or traditional. I'll sprinkle in a little of both.



You can still see some of the brick on the bottom in this one.


If you don't want to completely lose the brick, you could tile the "step..."


I have to show the before along with the after. One of those cases where the entire wall was brick. Very modern tile, but still an interesting idea.



Going into some more traditional ideas now...



A slab would be expensive, but a remnant might be a way to get the slab look without tiling the entire wall.


I like how they dealt with the step.


Metal and trim

This is such a specific request - we have those orangey terra-cotta like tile floors. We don't have the money to renovate, but we could have the cabinets sprayed and paint the walls. Can you find any pics of our floors with painted cabinets (not white)?

For a kitchen, if that isn't obvious.

This is a lot of pattern!




OMG, radiators!


The color is a bit too much for me and I'm not in love with the zebra print, but there's something about this room. Good use of space, maybe?

http://retrorenovation.com is a great place for this sort of thing. They do style boards like this:



They also show people who have actually ripped out modern bathrooms to get that 50s look! See: https://retrorenovation.com/2014/12/08/pink-bathroom-19/









I love this one so much. Here's a bigger picture:














How cute were some of those??!?!?! LOVE!
