Hello Friends!
We have been having a beautiful Pacific Northwest Summer and I am HERE for it. I’m dreading its end, but will have more time for projects that have been put off to enjoy the sun!
Newsletter Topic of the Month
Kids and back to school can often mean entry wall overflow, lets prevent that with these easy tips.
Decluttering your Entry
Your home’s entry is often the most congested spot in the house. To declutter for good, try these tips.
Create an Entry Drop Zone

Create a space for coats, backpacks, shoes and bags for each family member. An entry bench like this gives everyone a space, it can be a custom built in, or store bought.
If you are short on space, hang one or two of these wall coat racks with shelf for coats and bags. The shelf give you a place to set smaller items.
Shoe Cabinets like this come in all sizes and if you are no shoes house, will solve your biggest entry clutter problem.
Set up a charging station for all the families devices. This manages cords as well and keeps the “where’s my device” questions to a minimum.
