Refresh your entryway for summer

It's summer.  Make your entryway welcoming, bright, and functional.  Store winter accessories away in bins on the shelf above the rod in your coat closet or consider getting an entryway bench with baskets to store these items in.  Add a basket to a table for incoming mail and a hook for keys near the door.  Lastly, make sure the lighting is bright enough and minimize rugs to give it a fresh summer feel.  Welcome home!
