Seaside Hallway

This pretty hall in the Long Island home of Margot Brunelle Fooshee (who is head of marketing for the J. Crew clothing company) is painted Benjamin Moore's Blue Seafoam. The painted dressing table and mirror from Now/Again in L.A. holds a shell-filled apothecary jar from English Country Antiques. -House Beautiful

Seafoam Blue Foyer

The astonishing swimming-pool-cool hall color in the foyer—Blue Seafoam by Benjamin Moore—instantly won over Margot Brunelle Fooshee and her husband when they first saw this Long Island house. A chair in a harmonizing color was a gift from Margot's mother, from the family's summer house in Nantucket. Preserved 18th-century floorboards were simply sanded and waxed. -House Beautiful

Ornate Hallway

Give your guest a decadent welcome by creating an opulent hallway. Begin by painting the walls a bold, rich color. Then add an ornate mirror and antique console to the space, and then finish off the look by adorning the table with vintage glass vases. -House to Home
