A large foyer big enough for a round pedestal table is something I dream of having one day. Sure, it is a waste of square footage but it would be so nice to welcome guests with a beautiful arrangement of lovelies upon my pedestal table. Don't you think? Well, if you are like me and do not have the luxury of a spacious entrance here is some inspiration for getting the most out of a tight entry.

A floating cabinet gives the illusion of more space. In this case, it also allows for a glam fur stool to be tucked underneath. The drawers are perfect for keeping keys and other miscellaneous items from view.

A floating shelf takes up minimum space and is perfect for the day's mail and to display some pretties. Again, a stool can be tucked underneath for tying shoes or in my case for my husband to wait when I lie and yell, "five more minutes and I am ready!"

This is a great example on maximizing a small foorprint. The botanicals give a sense of life in what would typically be dead space. A nice decorative mirror helps reflect light and provides the chance for one last glimpse before you open the door.

Higgins Mirror- School House Electric $275

Simple but useful. A few hooks in a high contrast finish look sharp and help keep bags off the ground. Instead of baskets, a canvas tote can be used for storage.

Thanks for hanging out!

Just like you, we enjoy reading other blogs and getting inspired. The easiest way for me to do that is to subscribe so that the posts come straight to my inbox---just what this busy mom needs!

If you'd like to save time and have our posts sent straight to you, we've made it very simple to do so. All you need to do is add your email address in the Subscription portion of our sidebar and hit "subscribe". Done and done. You can also follow us on Instagram here. Because let's face it (no pun intended), as great as our Facebook page is, it's not the best at always keeping you in the know unless you're constantly liking or commenting on our posts. And I know everyone's busy schedules don't allow for that!

But enough with talking shop! Let's get on to the pretty stuff. Today I thought I'd share a few favorite blogs to which I subscribe in hopes that maybe they'll inspire you as well!

Proper Hunt //
Not only does Christina have great fashion posts (with links to items that don't cost an arm and a leg), but she is also one of my go-to sources for some great dinner recipes (which says a lot because I'm a pretty picky eater). Most recently I made the chicken pesto lasagna rolls, and they were delish!

Elements of Style //
Erin Gates has great style in fashion and interiors and her blog details both. She shares a lot of favorite shopping finds (for fashion and home) and also gives a peek into her personal life, something I find extremely refreshing. Her book came out last fall, and it is full of great writing and tons of photos of her talented work. She's also a big dog lover (check out her instagram) so that naturally wins more points in my book.

Lauren Liess of Pure Style Home //
Her simple, relaxed decorating style is so incredibly charming. Her blog details client projects, her home life (she has three boys and a baby girl) and her own home projects. She and her husband just recently purchased a new home, and I can't wait to see the transformation. If it's anything like their last house, we're in for an inspiring treat!
