Roll Out the Welcome Mat

Warm weather comes with few demands besides get out and enjoy it and clean up your entryway. Cold weather and muddy weather items can be cleaned off and put away. Salt covered welcome mats can be replaced with a sunnier variety.

Now is the time to put a fresh coat of paint on the front door, add planters, an updated mailbox, or new house numbers. Because whether you have a home with a front porch or an apartment with a door in a hallway, brightening up your entry point just makes coming home better.

Here are a few of our favorite ideas...
