Q. My entryway is a cluttered mess!!!  How can I keep this area clear?

A.  The entryway of any home, no matter the size, is a common place for clutter to collect.  Mail, back packs, coats and shoes all end up here. The solution is to have a place for everything to live.  Here are some ideas that should help:

*Large basket for shoes tucked under a bench for sitting.

*Hooks or a coat rack for outerwear and back packs.  There are furniture pieces sold in stores that accomplish this task. ( see photo)

*A pretty bowl or basket for keys, change and other little things that come out of your pockets.

*A small container/basket for mail.  I suggest small because I encourage folks to look through, sort, purge and file your mail daily.  

Getting your life in order!
