My entry is barely an entry. It's basically a tiny hallway that happens to have a front door and a door to my bedroom. I've spent years trying to make it look special and not feel like the awkward, in-between space it really is. When you live in a small apartment, you can't take a single square inch for granted. So I've always been determined to make this area work a little harder for me.
If there's one thing that winter has taught me (as a former California girl), it's that a good indoor doormat can save you so much cleaning later. Between snowy boots, slushy shoes, dog paws, and whatever mystery grit the sidewalk decides to share, a low-profile indoor doormat is the easiest way to keep floors cleaner without constantly running a mop.
