I\u2019ve been thinking about the entry way to my house\u2026the approaching winter, with its crazy predictions of heavy snowfall, has me looking for ways to make my entryway a more inviting and functional space in my home.\u00a0 Last year I spent lots of time fighting the snow and mud my kids kept tracking in and I\u2019m hoping to make some changes this year so it works better for my family, and looks better too!<\/p>\n
