Good Impressions
The vote is in from my last post.
2 to 1 in favor of installing a new light fixture in the foyer. It'll have to be a bargain at this point. Guess I'll go look this weekend. Sorry to drag this thing out. I've figured out it's harder to make a small space look right than it is a large one.
I saved the above photo because I have a lantern light on my porch and a transom window above the door. Here they used the same style, yet different fixtures inside and out and it still looks nice. I'm leaning towards something simple like the lantern.
If I wasn't selling the house, I'd go for something funky, like one of these chinoiserie fixtures or something in red.
But I don't want to scare potential buyers when they walk in the door. Not even sure if it'd look right. Just a fancy I have. It'd be memorable though. "Remember the house with the red light fixture?"
We want good first impressions. I'd say these all fit that category.
Wish me luck.

Happy shopping,Tammy!
Try the Habitat for Humanity Restore in your area, if it is a good one. Our Restore always has great foyer lights that could be really beautiful with an updated finish (ORB rather than shiney brass, for instance).
Tammy, I'm sure you'll make an excellent choice!
You will make a great choice...you've got good taste. I thought the Restore idea was a good one. Ours has all sorts of stuff. Good luck!
Have fun shopping! I have no doubt that you'll find something great.
As always, your choices are straight on...and in this case, you will fair well my friend! Luv
The lantern itself will be such an updated look, it won't need to be funky. So I think you can do this blindfolded!!
hope you find just what you're needing!
Wishing you luck, I'm sure you can find something to transform...Yep, I am digging the red one LOL!

Yea! I'm glad you're going to try to find a new light fixture. What about Home Depot or Lowe's?
ok, i may not be much help here because i like them all. even the red one, it's great!
First impressions...extremely important when showing a house! I vote for the first one.

That last photo is my favorite. (BTW, I love red, as you may know.)
I don't know how I miss your posts, my dear friend, I am so sorry.
I love the lantern type fixtures, I hope you can find one to look good with the one on your porch, that would be very nice, I think.
Hugs. Cindy
A daunting but fun process. Have fun!

Good luck and BEAUTIFUL photos.
Although I love the red I think that you are wise to stay within a neutral palette.
