Most of the time when we leave the house, we make sure to present ourselves in a way that just in case we run into someone or meet someone new, we make a good first impression.  That same thinking should go into the design of your home, especially your entrance area.  The space doesn’t have to be big to make an impact, it just has to have a point of view and a personality.

Design tip:  Paint the piece of furniture you place in your foyer to create energy and set the tone for what the rest of the house feels like.  Add a natural element to give the space a personal touch and a starburst mirror is always good because the spokes draw your eye around the space and into the connecting rooms.

DIY Polka Dot Cocktail Napkins

I’m back today with a fun DIY project!

Ever since seeing these cute cocktail napkins at Anthropologie I’ve wanted to buy a set or two or three.

Last week while looking around at Tuesday Morning, I came across a set 12 solid colored cocktail napkins and the DIY bell went off in my head.

To create your polka dot cocktail napkins simply dip the end of the eraser in your fabric paint and place random dots on your napkins.  Easy peasy with fabulous results!
