Unexpected and 'special' pieces in transitional spaces
in a home make my heart happy……
I often find that people overlook hallways and
entry spaces - choosing to focus more
money and attention on the room in their homes.
I get that.
But as I encourage clients, I encourage you -
don't overlook these spaces.
Hang a special piece of art near a coat
closet……
Choose an antique knob for your pantry door…..
Hang a quirky vintage sign near your back door….
Put fresh cut flowers in a vase on an entry table…..
Paint your entry ceiling a pretty shade of blue……
Display your grandmother's tea set….
Create a family photo wall, full of candid photos only…..

Making a ho-hum space special by adding special
is a little bit of …..the unexpected!
And can't we all use a little unexpected
happy events in our lives and our homes?

This client is beginning to add those touches….after
spending oodles of time concentrating on the big stuff!

Jill,
ReplyDeleteGreat advice. You nailed it, I often am so focused on the room at large that I skip the minor spaces. They really can be the icing. Thanks.
Happy 4th of July to you and yours.
