Entryway Beauty

Good Morning!

Hope everyone's Holiday was filled with joy and family.  I know mine was and I feel extremely blessed.

We have entered into a new year and it got me thinking about entryways.

Your entryway is like the appetizer for your home - it makes you anticipate the main course.  It's one of the first areas where you can take risk and add interest to your space.

Love the use of green here.  It is right on trend with Pantone's color of the year.

Small entry use a lucite console table and neutral colors to make the space appear larger but keeping the function.

Organization with the wow factor..

So, what kind of entryway are you creating?  In your outlook on this brand new year? and in your home?

A Christmas Stroll (Living Room / Foyer)

Good Afternoon! 

I am here enjoying pumpkin chocolate bread from one of my favorite local shops here...so yummy : )

It's not fair that I can't share it with you all but what I can share is the decorating we did in our living room and foyer : )

For our family, I believe that everyone should get a hand in on the process.

Here are my daughters painting pinecones that we went and got from our neighbors yard.  (and yes, we had permission..lol)

and here are the pinecones put to good use..

On this vignette we added more candles, more pinecones and evergreen branches.

Our Foyer

I try to use as much natural elements as possible and use decorations that I have been collecting in new ways.  One of the things anyone can do is to buy one new Christmas decoration every year or do a new Christmas craft and your home will feel fresh every time this season comes along.  That's what we do.

Hope you enjoyed this walkthru.  Have a wonderful weekend all!
