Is your entry way cluttered or organized? The place you enter your home can get pretty overwhelming sometimes. It gets a lot of traffic. Everyone in the family coming and going all the time... grabbing things on the way out the door... dumping things when they come back home. We need easy access to coats, shoes, keys, purses, wallets, and school bags. Not to mention hats, mitts, scarves, boots, and snow pants in the winter. Ugh! I'm overwhelmed just writing about it!
Plus, the entry area is the first impression guests have of your home, unless you're lucky enough to have an entry off the side or back of your home for your family's use, separate from the front door where guests enter. But even if you don't have to worry as much about the appearance of your entry, you still need to be able to find what you need when you're leaving, without a lot of searching and chaos.
Organization is the key to making this important area of the home function well! It makes all the difference in how smoothly your mornings go, and how peaceful you feel when you return home.
Over the next few weeks, I'll be sharing some tips to help you declutter and organize your entry area. I'll share some pictures of our entry and show you what works for us (and some tweaks I'm making), as well as share ideas you can use in your entry.
And I'm kicking the series off today with keys!
