the entry table
Your entryway is your first impression to your visitors, so pay it some attention and start there first. Make sure it is a small sampling of what is to come in the rest of your home. All of the elements I used are also represented on the table, bar and mantle. Add festive scents of warm cinnamon or wintery pine to appeal to the senses. Fill unique vessels or vases with simple greenery found at your local flower mart. I use mercury or silver ones during the holidays for a glam touch. Even simple green berries with a white flower do the trick. Forgo the usual round wreath for a more modern square one or a door swag. I like using boxwood or magnolia leaves for less mess. Add your favorite ornaments for low cost joyful glimmer in a unique color palette. I chose shades of green with silver and a hint of aqua, and I gave older ornaments a facelift with glitter in the new color palette I wanted.
