Is the entry room to your home suffering from the blahs? Are you
ready to jazz it up?
Making a good first impression is not only important if you are
job-hunting. It also matters at your home.
It's a good idea to create a favorable...even enjoyable...impression
as soon as a guest walks in the door. It sets the tone for visits.
irst, there's Curb Appeal Your
"curb" is your front door. Consider updating it to make a statement with
a new coat of paint, two interesting large pots that catch the eye with
beautiful, seasonal flowers or evergreens.

hen add some Drama! An
attractive large floor mirror or an interesting piece of art adds drama to your
entry. Adding a console, dresser, trunk or bench gives the entry dimension and
an ideal place to display a few accessories and ambient lighting. Even a large
chandelier can be a focal point, if there isn't room for furniture.
