It is the first part of the home as well as the last that your Guest see. So it is so important to keep it clutter free and refreshed.

Rule of Thumb:  “less is best”. It can seem difficult to decorate a space that sees so much traffic and also keep it clutter free but that is far from the truth.

Where Do I Begin?

Getting started on your entryway decorating or redecorating is an exciting as well as a little overwhelming endeavor at first thought. Believe me I felt the same.   Take a moment to envision the kind of vibe you’d like to create in your entryway. Do you want it to feel cozy and rustic, or perhaps sleek and modern? Consider your personal style and the overall theme of your home to ensure a cohesive look  from the outside to the inside.  Take your time and make a plan and put it down on paper.  Use a “pencil” … you will be using the eraser a lot. That’s okay… Let’s Go…..
