[quote=EyeCandyOP][quote=Anonymous]OMG, I was obsessed with that blue entryway a few years back. I think it was in Southern Living? Thanks for reminding me of it!

OP, can I beg of you to provide some inspiration pics or designers who have successfully refreshed 1990s era McMansions / double height living rooms and entryways? 
Thank you so much for the mental vacation your posts have provided![/quote]

I did a post a while back about double-height entrances and my general feeling was that adding millwork/trim is a way to make them feel nicer. If there are round columns, I think taking them out or making them square (if they are needed for support) can help. Updating the light fixture is probably a good idea, too.

I also think there's inspiration if you look up builders/designers and real estate in areas where big homes are still common.

You could also remove a lot of the frosting and go for a cleaner look...
