Selena. That colour is perfect! Remember the Victorians overdid everything!! It’s a happy, warm cosy welcoming colour - keep going with it. Also. I could open a ‘Homes and Gardens’ magazine and see your hall like this!! Stick with your instincts! Playing it safe is so boring 🥰🥰🎉🎉

I really think it suits the period of the house. Nice shade with the wood dresser by the stairs. I like the calming factor.❤

I think that small pop of color really elevates your entry. I say leave it until you find something you absolutely love. The warm color complements the vanilla trim and wood on the stair treads really well.

I think you made a good decisions on the paint. I love it! I think it warms up the area and really compliments the furniture you have in there

Selena, if you paint your a/c return grate the same color as your wall, it will disappear visually. Love the color you chose, it looks lovely ❤

There's nothing I love more than an old home with french vanilla walls and hardwood floors. Very soft, pale pastel paint in the bedrooms is as daring as I get. So, I admit to being shocked when you opened the can and actually said "no, no, no' out loud. But seeing it on the wall ... I really like it and it goes so nicely with everything else. It's a nice pop of colour for your foyer and you don't have to paint the entire area. Give it a month or so before making a final decision and I'm dying to know what Pete thinks.

Oh, Selena, it's beautiful, especially from this angle!

I would leave the sides and bottom of the stairs the original color. The wood side is part of the trim and the bottom of the stairs is part of the ceiling. Leaving the trim and ceiling the original white color will make it more cohesive. I like the color.

I think you should only keep a color if it makes you feel happy. You are an intuitive decorator, and you know when it's right. You have STYLE!😊

I love the color of the front hall paint. I personally would have kept the white border underneath the risers going up the stairs to give more definition almost like a painting with a frame.

It blends nice with that piece of furniture.

I like the new colour, just give yourself a little time to adjust. Tell your Mum not to worry, when we sold our home of 33 years and built a new house, it took about 2 years for me to feel like it was “home”. Even though I had al my things with me, it took time to get the placement of everything as I wanted it. Love watching you and Pete at the beach house too!

I would suggest leaving the stairs alone. My previous home had a very similar color paint...it's so warm and lush.

I absolutely love it! It’s a very warm inviting entry way.. you always do a fantastic job in decorating..

really like how it warms up your entrance. it also pushes the steps back to the background and you can actually focus on the space.

Really like your decision to paint the stair border. Doing this extends the size of the wall and creates a cohesiveness in the smaller area - not chopped up and too busy. Love color in living a home!

Leave the stairs sides white will Bring out the color of what you Picked for entry Way. It's gonna be Spectacular!😊

Selena trust your intuition it’s guiding you.Being indecisive is enough to change otherwise you will never be happy.

Not sure I’m crazy about the color with your Victorian decor. But I bet it would be pretty at your beach cottage!

I love the color because it warms it up and looks great with the furniture. Love you and your channel and love Pete and your parents, too. You are like a breath of sunshine and fresh air.

I really like that color. It adds depth to the room. Instead of being one big white space. But you have to be the one that's happy with it. ❤

I like it! I like change… it’s a pretty color for sure. If you don’t like it you can always change it!

I LOVE the new color, Selena!! It is absolutely exquisite dressing your Victorian home's entry! Our daughter lived in an 1800's Victorian house that was her first home purchase. Hubs, she and I renovated and remodeled that house from top to bottom, not leaving a single space untouched. The exterior of her house was painted in the colors now in your entry hall, plus one darker shade that matched a terracotta pot!! It was stunning to see how it drew people in! Her front garden was small with a variety of plant colors mixed with the cool green grass, all surrounded by vintage wrought iron fencing. When the neighborhood was being renovated by a contractor, folks walked the streets and would always ooohh and ahhhhh (literally), while stopping in front of her house; I could hear conversations through open windows, when people's voices would waft inside. Without exception folks would remark that her house was just so beautiful, while they stopped to stare at the facade! Flip side, against our advice, our daughter bought all the paint she needed for the entire project, without buying a sample to test the color!! She cried when the first wall was painted, sorely upset that her house was pink!!! Once it was all said and done, she was pleased with the final result and appreciated the changing hues as the sun would rise and set, moving from persimmon to a more rosy hue and back to the original hue all in a day's time! Once when I was there, the contractor, working the entire neighborhood renovation, came by, struck up a conversation asking who picked the paint colors. I confessed I had, to which he responded by nodding his head and smiling at the house and grounds acknowledging its beauty. For our daughter the color palette was simply too warm, as she would have been far more comfortable with green and ivory on the exterior. She went a different route in large part, because so many homes were wearing that color already. At Christmas time her place became known as the pretty gingerbread house, as she decorated exquisitely and always hosted a big party!!!💖 Bottom line, you'll know if you can live with the color given some time with it!💖 Looking forward to hearing Pete's take on it!! Beautiful work by one and only you!!! 🌹❤🌹(apologies for the book length comment🤗)

the foyer is a special "jewel" and victorians loved color. a pastel would not have the same impact. I do love it. glad you painted up to the stairs. added some height needed behind the table. very welcoming entrance!!!your living room draws you "in" already!

I think that color is so lovely and really adds something to your entry.

Love it! Looks great accessorized like most colors. It's pretty! Good job. Love watching your channel and with Pete involved it's a fun touch. You mix it up well! Stay creative!

Salena it is very warm. It is not over powering. It’s just a SPLASH. I like a bit of Color POP.❤ Your staircase, and height of ceiling of the entire space , accommodates the Color splash.❤❤❤

The nice thing about the paint is you can live with it and if you decide you don’t like it, you can change it…maybe a shade or two lighter. Easy fix though! 😊

I didn’t think I was going to like it. But, I like it! Looks beautiful.

Love the color. I think it gives a designer look to the hall., but the most thing is what you feel about it.

I love the color for your space. It will be beautiful for spring, summer and fall. You can always paint over it, but I think it's very nice 💐

Selena it’s absolutely beautiful and warm and welcoming just love it you nailed it again

Oh my gosh! “Florida hotel vibes” had me laughing, but it’s the best compliment ever. The new entrance is GORGEOUS!

I love it! The color is very chic and not so girly girl. Photographs beautifully and shows off your beautiful staircase and antique furniture. You’re upping your game girl and it shows with your fashion videos and your decor. I’m taking notes!

I absolutely love it!!! It's Beautiful! All that counts is if you like it!

Love the colour. Please keep it. Victorian houses had a lot of colour. ❤

PS....chill girl...the color is great for a Victorian house!Your instincts are spot on!❤

I like it now that you added the green plant. Looks elegant.👍

I love it, here in England Victorian house always had colour, great video 🇬🇧❤️

Selena, the paint is absolutely beautiful! Timeless and classic choice for the period of your home. I live in an historic town and have seen that color utilized quite often in older homes. Love the color!

I love the Persimmon color, and the paint coverage. It is starkly different than it was, but looks gorgeous in that space! I hope you love it, after getting past the shock!

Wow!! I think it's beautiful!! Great choice. Good contrast with stairs. Looks good with hardwood flooring

I LOVE the paint you chose for the entry!!!!

Love the idea of dressing for each day video !!! Can’t wait!!

I love it. I think it warms the space up. It’s just a shock to you, like you said😊

I like the color. It looks warm and inviting.💕😊

I luv it. Leave it for a while and then if it bothers you then it's easy paint again another color. Easy peasy.

I love the color in the space.

Hello Dearest Selena, I absolutely love you. ❤️ In response to your question regarding the paint color, I actually really like it. It seems to define that little area, and make it pop a bit. As you stated, almost that beautiful, grand hotel feel. ♥️

That's one of my fav colours . I have always had my dining room and kitchen that colour. It's so pretty with silver hardware and white. My doors, trim and cuboards are white. It just makes me happy.

I love tera Cotta...the orange tones go well wirh blues. I like the color.

Selena, we are both creatures of change/upgrades 😆. Every change of Season I move artwork and home decor around. I donate/sell the pieces I am done with and thrift items that yell my name 😁. Of course I dig for the best prices, that goes without saying. Live with the terracotta for awhile and the walls will start talking to you. Often, I will change my home decor/table top items to experiment new colors, creating new vignettes is always Fun to me. Merchandising is always a creative process that takes time time. Take the time you need, do what makes your creative heart skip a beat ❤️💐💃❤️💐💃

I absolutely love it! Yes, that paint is an amazing product!

Love the color keep it ❤ it’s warm and cozy. I fell it has a vintage vibe that’s a Good thing

Gorgeous Victorian color that wraps the foyer in a big vibrant hug. It has personality & is totally welcoming.

I love the colour. It's very warm & inviting - just like your lovely personality. ❤

You always look beautiful because you are a beautiful person, inside and out !

I like the cotton color. The lighter color makes your pretty thing pop😊

Didn’t know if I would like the color, however The after shots were beautiful, so warm and inviting.

This is Mary from Hilliard Florida! I think the color is pretty! But you have to decide for your self and your husband has to like the color too! Take care, stay Safe too!🌴😎🌼😁😉♥️♥️♥️

The great thing about paint is that it is a quick and relatively inexpensive way to change a room. You can pause and wait a few days to see how things go, and if you get tired of it or don't like it, it's also quick and easy to change. Personally, I think this color would be beautiful in a living room or bedroom because the color reflection will make skin glow in a very flattering way with light. It will have a similar effect to candlelight. I think it was Elizabeth Taylor who had all of her ceilings painted in a similar color because it made people look so good.❤

I absolutely love it. It’s so fresh and beautiful! You have to do what your heart tells you, (and Pete), of course. I’d say leave it for a couple of weeks and then see how you feel. 🤗🇨🇦🤗

I love the pop of color in the entryway. Victorian homes used very bold colors ❤

Love that warm color. Warm colors invite you in. Stay away from blues for the entry. Blues are cool and not as hospitable for your entry. Also, pinks and oranges do wonders for making skin tones glow with a healthy look. .....love watching your progress. 😊❤

The color is beautiful it compliments, your rug, the piece of furniture you have by the stairs, the green that comes from the plant, one commentator said that you should paint the great behind the piece of furniture and that’s a yes for me. Also, lots of people do that and it will just disappear because when you’re looking at it from a far you can see it on the bottom you’re doing fantastic. Trust your instinct, the first one is pretty much the right one! Your home is beautiful. Keep it going.❤

Your house is your castle, do what ever makes you smile 🙂, after all it's just paint! I love it!

You are totally correct Selena about the flower frog.

I really liked the color for the entry way. I too thought it gives the Florida vibe . The plant just made it come together !!

I really like the colour and the plant that you have put on the table..... and the colour of the entry table goes well with the wall colour.

Oh Selena, I LOVE the color!! You have such an amazing gift for design!! Also, your hair looks so pretty throughout the video! Thank yoiu for sharing! Can't wait to see what else you do!! :)

Hi hi Selina,I agree it’s a shock .i don’t like it very much ,but at the end of the day it’s your home sending lv Ann uk 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧❤️❤️❤️

The persimmon paint color is perfect in a heritage house I Iove it

Can’t wait to see what you and Pete decide on the entry color. It’s a color you like, very Victorian, and the plant looks beautiful against it. After decorating for decades I’ve learned that if I have to put too much effort into something in order to like it, it’s not going to work. I have a collection of flower frogs that I use to display my other collection of vintage post cards!

Oh, Selena! You are so delightful. I do love your videos. 🙂

I love your Chico's shirt. Such a lovely color and the style is so versatile. Dress it up or dress it down 😊. I also like your paint color. Its hard to know exactly how it looks but on my screen it looks terrific. Almost my entire house is painted in a similar color and I just love it. It makes me so happy. I hope you enjoy it.

Oh Selena, I absolutely love the color! I think it is beautiful & perfect for your entryway! I understand your hesitation though. I was the same way when I painted my living room a very similar color (a little darker even), but now I love it so much! 😊

That color is absolutely gorgeous especially with the carpet runner….Very Victorian and elegant!

Even though I like that color ,when you first opened the can I was like 😳 but when you showed it the next day I really like it. It definitely compliments the wood and plants. Thanks for sharing and making me smile ❤

That color looks great! You did an amazing job on the stairs with the detailing. Let me tell you I have been watching your videos for like 5 or 6 months now, and I love how cute and fun you are! I'm about to turn 41 and my husband and I only have a dog and cat after 12 years. It's nice seeing relatable people here. 😋❤

The color is working. You're overthinking it!

I like it. And it’s easy enough to change colors if you really never settle with it. I like the warmth it brings to the space.

I don’t comment, however I love the new color❣️❣️❣️. Try living with it for at least a month!

I love the color! Keep working with it and see how you feel. I think it’s warm and cozy and welcoming.

Victorians loved color and that color absolutely suits your home. I love the color in the entryway and it definitely warms up the space and matches well with the floor, stairs and antelope runner. You made a great choice.

I think you should keep the color, I really like it and the decor with it looks good 😊

I love the change of color in your entryway, it’s warm and inviting. I’m all about color, but you have to do what you love! ❤️

I love the new color! It looks so beautiful with the colors of the stairs, trim, and table.

My two cents worth is the entry looks great. Give it a week or so and you'll be wondering what it looked like before. I can relate to your parents not wanting to show their new place yet. Such a big change to find your new style, if that's what she wants, or find her old style in a different way. Hello from Queensland

❤it's a yes..Victorian bold pop of color

I LOVE it!! 💕💕💕💕 It Compliments your Runner and Furniture perfectly!! It adds such Warmth like a Hug!! 🤗. I love Pink, so this just adds such a Warm feeling for me! Whatever you decide, I'm sure it will look AMAZING!! 😘 YOU always do such a FANTASTIC job!! 🙂☺️🙂😘

I personally love the new colour. It's beautiful ❤

I am all about color in a home, preferably warm tones. So I like that this is a warmer tone then most of the other colors in the house.

I vote yes on the paint. It looks warm and rich.

I love it! Perfect for a Victorian home! Trust your instincts girl. ❤

My personal feel of your front entrance would be a soft pastel colour, maybe in the same palette as your living room but much paler.

I love this color and the contrast of the white with the new color!! I would keep it.

You have such a lovely glow . You look beautiful and so happy. I like the paint color . I think you should try to live with it for a while. Like you said it’s only paint it could easily be changed. It’s hard for us to really say because we are not there but from what I see it looks warm and inviting and actually I think that table looks great against that color. You have a good eye and no matter if you keep it or not it will look beautiful.

I love it! It goes so well with the wood tones and the green of your plant.

Im partial to the orange and peach colos. I used to have a bedroom in a previous home that was painted a vibrant peach color. After living in white apartments previously i just loved the color. Now that im in a white house again i realize how i miss my peachy room and how happy it made me feel. Thats me. You have plenty of rooms with color, so do what feels right for you....but i love it!
