A landing strip

It is what the American's call an area to put things in as you come in through the door.  Now we do not have a hall, but we have naturally developed our own landing strip.  I think that it is important for the entrance of your home to look welcoming and I was really missing my Christmas Wreath, so I made a spring bunting and felt flower wreath to replace it.



In our home as you come in the front door there is the stairs and an entrance to the sitting room, but no hall area to speak off.

So we try to make the most of a compact area.  I want the boys to make sure that they hang up their coats and put their gloves and hats away, so it was important to have low hooks to make it easy for them and the basket means they can just pop them in.  If their gloves and hats are wet then they leave them on the radiator.


They also come in and put their school shoes in the cabinet. or again if they are wet, they pop them under the radiator.


When MadDad gets home from work he always empties the pockets from his suit, so having a basket makes sense for him.  He uses it for his phone, keys, wallet etc.

It doesn't always look tidy, this is what it looked like last night after getting home from school

  2. My goodness, you are organised! Makes absolute sense. I have a very useful porch for welly boots, outside horsey jackets (bit smelly). The most useful thing I have inside the backdoor is a hook thingey for my keys. Has saved lots of mad minutes looking for them before I leave for work! Tee hee hee.

Dumping the tumble dryer and Ecoforce giveaway

We have a tumble dryer, but it broke before christmas and we  couldn't afford to get it repaired, so I have been managing with an old fashioned wooden clothes rail and hanging bedding over the doors to dry, This last would of weeks however, I have been hanging the washing outside and it has been drying much quicker and with less creases, so I am going to take the plunge and instead of getting the dryer replaced I am going to give it away. Ecoforce heard me on twitter bemoaning the fact that I was chasing laundry round the garden as my pegs were not working and very kindly sent me some of their Ecoforce pegs to try and they have been fab. So in conjunction with Ecoforce I have a year's supply of green cleaning and washing up wonder products worth £50 comprising the following: EcoForce Peg Basket x 1 EcoForce Clothes Line x1 EcoForce Pegs x 2 packs Several of each of: EcoForce sponges, scourers, cloths, duster and bag grips Dishmatic Dishmatic Refills x
