Make Front Entryway Welcoming



The outside entryway of a home leaves an impression.

Is it welcoming?

Does it give a hint of who lives there?

Is it well kept or neglected?

With these questions in mind, my homemade pink and cream colored rose wreath got placed on the front door.







This little number came from a thrift store. It hangs on a wall above the outgoing mail basket. It’s a nice shape and colorful. It looks very old-fashioned. Does anyone know the origin of this kind of decoration?




This old chair was a steal at $5. It has a nicely carved back. even though the seat needs fixing, it still makes a perfect perch for a small wreath with more pink flowers and ribbons.





On the brick floor in front of the door is a bright rug. This was a post (http://writingstraightfromtheheart.blogspot.com/2011/04/simple-pleasure-ability-to-see-color.html)

The front entry way is now ready for guests or to welcome home all family members.

DO YOU HAVE ANY SPECIAL TOUCHES FOR YOUR HOME'S FRONT ENTRYWAY?

  7. Most people enter from the back door - just the way the house is laid out. I do need to spruce up both entryways! Love your very welcoming touches.
