Welcome or not?

The Front Hall may seem like an unlikely candidate for a "high priority" room, especially if you've seen the pictures of my house and said, "Why did you buy that place again?"  The house has potential and I think the front hall does too.  Since it's the first room I see every day when I come home, it's kind of like the introduction to our house.  I would like the introduction to say "Welcome home" instead of "Look at how ugly much potential I have."  So up next the Front Hall (or Foyer if you're fancy or British).

Does your front hall welcome you home?
