Winterize your Entranceway

Winter can be one of the more 'messier' seasons with boots coming in the house with snow/salt and mud caked on, it can be hard to keep the inside entrance of your home neat and clean. Winterizing the entrance can keep everything you need for winter at your disposal in an orderly fashion.

• Have a rough mat on the outside of the door so feet can be wiped before coming in and on the inside of the door use a mat that is washable and that doesn't show dirt easily and absorbs water fast so that you are not always stepping in a wet spot on the mat.
• Use a boot tray where wet boots can be placed on and where water can collect and boots can get dried.
• Use hooks, heavy duty hooks are great for hanging jackets, scarves and hats.
• Baskets are a great way to store hats and mitts etc and if you have kids give them their own basket and label them accordingly.
• Keep a small towel handy to wipe up puddles.
• Keep a small broom available to sweep up sand and salt that gets tracked in or a small hand held vacuum.
• A medium size jar or small pail is a great way to store salt or sand by the door for quick,easy access and will fit on a shelf or underneath a bench.
• Keep a basket of slippers nearby for your family and guests.

Get creative with your space and think outside the box for your storage needs.
