I'm so glad you've disagreed with that theory, as I did. You've certainly inspired me!

I think I need a small round table to offset the straight lines and some art on the walls. I have neglected my vertical spaces. Almost everyone enters from the back into the sunporch which says " come in, sit down and make yourself comfortable.

I tried once to have a round center table with a huge bouquet of flowers in the middle, but it just didn't work. I love your entry because you have a place for your keys and a mirror. My entry is all doors--no place to put a welcome table. I guess that's what I would change if I could. Otherwise, I just want guests to feel that our home is not a formal home inside, even if it looks formal on the outside! ~Deloresvignette designhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07377076950787846035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5210558362945352459.post-9077193754652152232011-06-08T12:43:18.044-07:002011-06-08T12:43:18.044-07:00So many gorgeous entry's.

One technique that has helped me gain perspective since it's so hard to see my own home through someone else's eyes is to take a series of pictures on entering. Love the wallpaper idea for an entryway wall and, yes, a touch of green promises 'life within.'

The marble tile area rug that I showed off <a href="http://sugarnspiceinthelandofballsnsticks.blogspot.com/2011/04/before-blogging-throwback-thursdays-2.html" rel="nofollow">here</a> is usually found somewhere beneath a pile of cleats/shoes/skates that all have a home either a few feet away in the front hall closet or in the garage. Don't even get me started on the lacrosse gear that gets dumped in the entryway.<br /><br />Someday, I'll have a beautiful entryway like the ones you've posted. Love your ginger jars! Your whole foyer vignette is so pretty!

From the moment you enter my home you see into the entire livingroom and the rest of the home. It's an open floor plan but very well designed.<br /><br />I love how you have designed your entry, especially the gorgeous wallpaper. Very pretty.<br /><br />I learn so much when I come here. You are like having my open personal designer.<br /><br />hugs<br />SissieSissie's Shabby Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01142205878984008123noreply@blogger.com
