It's nearly hosting season, which, in other words, means it's round about the time we all begin to lose our minds. Now, I'm not quite as mad as some (I know people who have made a habit of repainting their whole home in anticipation of guests arriving), but certain things are non-negotiables, and a messy entryway is one of them.
Every other month of the year, I can turn a blind eye. Eight different pairs of shoes by the front door? Who cares. It's fine. But once December rolls around, that happy-go-lucky attitude is no longer. Think about it, your entryway sets the tone for your guests' stay, and do you want that tone to be a cluttered mess with flip-flops out in winter, or do you want it to be effortlessly chic and seamless with some smart hidden storage ideas? Personally, I'll be choosing the latter.
