An entryway serves many purposes... seating, shoe storage, a catch all, a place to check your hair and makeup one last time before dashing out the door! 
This easy and elegant design does just that with a touch of midcentury modern chic, some cozy pillows, a pop of color, and, of course, storage... but where do you find all of these elements? Below are some essential items to  duplicate
a similar look... 

Let's start with the key pieces!

MM Pinterest Hacks 101: The Perfect Guest Bathroom!


​The guest bathroom is the perfect place to try something a little more trendy! These are two of my favorite looks, and today I'm going to show you the perfect way to combine them both...

​Add a basket for extra storage... It's always a good idea to have additional hand towels and toilet paper on hand!

​I am a huge fan of real flowers; but since the guest bath isn't used every day, it can quickly become a costly waste to have real blooms! So as an alternative, I would suggest either of these classic faux arrangements!
