A Quick "Nuts & Bolts"
Power Tip

Greetings!
Our entryway is the first impression to those entering our home. Does yours pass the test?
Are mountains of shoes overtaking your space? Several times each season do some evaluating. Match up all the pairs and be sure that what is there is in decent condition and still fits its owner. Only shoes that are worn very regularly should be stored at the main entrance. Dress shoes and anything that is out of season should be stored elsewhere. If space allows, there should be some sort of shoe shelf or shoe cubbies. The expectation is that when shoes are taken off they have a "home" to go to, rather than just being kicked off to become part of the mountain of footwear that can quickly collect and overwhelm this small space.
The entrance is a great place to have a basket or drawer to accumulate items "on the way"......to someone else, to be returned to the store, or taken to work or school. Each time you pass through the entrance to leave scan the basket and grab the pertinent items.
A chest of drawers can be an efficient piece to have in the entrance if space allows. Drawers can be assigned for storage of hats (touques in the winter, ball caps and sun hats in the summer) or personal care products such as sunscreen and insect repellent.
Do you have a friend who is feeling overwhelmed and would appreciate receiving these Quick Tips? Feel free to forward this e-mail!
