7 Entryway Design Tips and Ideas
1). Landing Spot. This could be a console table, bench or a Japanese Tansu or even dress of drawers. Figure out how much space you have in this area and go from there. 2). Storage. We store our dog’s lease, keys and knick knacks in a felt IKEA basket I found a few months back. At the time I wasn’t sure what I was going to use it for but I love the contrast with the Japanese Tansu. Think about what you plan to use it for and buy the size you need. IKEA has a ton of containers on the cheap! 3). Seating. I found this cute felt…

Dwell :: Decorating with Aqua, Teal and Turquoise
Colors can evoke such emotion in one don’t you think? I have loved aqua, teal and turquoise for many years now and it is quite apparent since you will find these colors in pretty much every room in our house!

Spread them out and sort them so you can clearly see what you have. I use moss…
