How to Make A House A Home #10

10. A Message/ Mail Center- Looking for a place to put the mail, hang pictures, post invitations, write notes, etc.- I think we all are! These items tend to pile up in my house and go without a home. A Message/ Mail center is a great way to keep all of these things out so that you can see them.

A couple of ideas....

9. A Candy/ Cookie Jar- I am not always good at doing this, but I think it is so inviting and sweet to have a "sweets" jar in the kitchen. I don't know about you guys, but we love the sweets in my family. I am always wanting just a bite of something sweet after dinner.

8. A Place To Hang Your Coat- During those cold winter months when we have to wear coats all the time, it is so nice to have a place to hang them up and easily get back to them when you have to go out. This is also nice for all the other daily things we tend to carry with us- purse, work bag, diaper bag, etc. You can easily create a decorate and useful place to store all the things you need to get to on a daily basis.
Visitors will also appreciate a place to hang their belongings as well!

7. Doormat- An easy way to personalize your home is with a doormat. The front door is the first thing and the last thing visitors see when they enter your home. You can easily make this fun and creative by just adding a simple touch like a door mat.
