We are getting very close to being done with the foyer project. This first picture is after one coat of paint. the white part looks a little sickly. 

Then we slapped on a second coat of paint and it started to look much better. 

Now we just need to throw on a third coat of white for good measure, and touch up the edges and we'll be done with the board and batten. Now we just need to buy some dang furniture so it feels a little more welcoming.
