June 17, 2013 · Comments { 5 }

Aaaaaa … Summer. I love this time of year when days extend into the evening. The transition of seasons to warmer weather always puts me in a mood to entertain and spruce up the home. As I consider the options, I’m so happy to have Shop Ten 25 – a go to spot online for chic home decor. I’m also happy to announce they are a new sponsor of Simplified Bee (thrilled)!

With a huge array of two of items (including some of my faves … lighting, artwork & rugs!), Shop Ten 25 makes decorating easy allowing you to shop by the look, designer or color. With hundreds of items to choose from it was hard to narrow down, but here are some faves that stood out …

And I love this quote found on the site… so true!

Welcome Shop Ten 25!!!

Happy shopping,

Small Entryway Ideas

February 27, 2013 · Comments { 5 }

Entryways can serve many functions. They offer the first glimpse into our homes and are where we welcome guests. For many it’s also a drop zone for such things as coats, purses, keys and mail. If your entryway is on the smaller side, it may take some planning to achieve the function and organization you desire, while still reflecting your home’s style. Before purchasing furniture and accessories, measure the space and take into account your family’s daily routine to see what items would work best in the space. Do you need seating to put on your shoes? Hooks for bags? A basket for mittens? When selecting paint colors or wallpaper for the space, consider taking hues from the color scheme used in adjacent rooms such as the living room. This way your home will have a better flow.

To inspire you, I’ve selected some fabulous small entryway ideas that may consider for your home.
