Five Easy Entryway Organizing Ideas by Du interiors

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.

F
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.

T
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.

Quarry Lake kitchen reveal

Hello again! My message to you this month centers on a goal – to update a kitchen without changing its bones, the kitchen cabinets or countertops. We were up to the challenge! As you know, what an interior designer does is reveal concepts that might not be obvious but make such a big difference. The short version is that we relocated the TV into the living room so this family of four and a lovely dog could hang out there more often …since the space was not used much. (I will share the new living room space with you in the future.
