...what do people see...

...when they walk into your house?

Now, I am the first to admit that I am no interior decorator. I could not  recreate a professionally designed room if I was given all of the accessories & a photo of what the finished room was supposed to look like...truly.

But, I do know what I like...and I know how I like it to look...

Have you ever thought about what visitors to your home see when they first walk in? Do they see the backs of the photo frames you have positioned on your sofa table? Or the stack of old magazines you've thrown under a side table because you weren't sure where to put them? Maybe it's the back of an accent chair that the dog ripped up...

...the view of my dining room from my front door...

Try walking into a room the way a guest may walk into it...view it like you were seeing it for the first time...is there anything you would change? I know I'm always guilty of arranging flowers to make them look good from where I'm standing...but how do they look from the other side of the room?

Again, I'm nooooo expert. I'm not professing to know anything about decorating. I'm just sayin'...

ADDED:
I know we all need to live in our homes...rooms are not always going to look perfect or clean or even presentable...believe me, I know. But for those times when we are expecting guests or when we are redecorating...a fresh view of our homes can do wonders...
