Your Entryway

 Your entryway is the welcoming area of your home.  Try to make a statement!  I used a deep shade of blue Sherwin-Williams Sea Serpent #7615 and in all honestly, every visitor who walks through the front door comments in a good way.  It is such a dramatic color.  And, aren’t most people drawn to the color blue?

My dear Aunt Syl was an interior designer beginning in the 40’s and lasting into the 70’s. She was from the old school of design, and I find I follow to this day many of her designing tips.  For example she felt every room should have a painted piece of furniture as well as an Asian-influenced piece.  Always have something with height to balance the shorter furniture.  Place your paintings and pictures just above eye level if possible. Unique lamps and shades bring the entire space together.

  I have tried to implement those suggestions in my welcoming area.  Oh, I have added a multi-colored rug to bring all pieces together and I think Aunt Syl would have approved.  I miss her…

Blessings,
