Front door/Back door

What does the entryway to your home look like?  Have you done more than lately than give it just a passing glance?  Does it reflect the state of your home inside? 

For some reason this morning, I really took note of how our front and back doors look.  The truth is, they are pretty shabby.  Sure, there are pretty wreaths on the door, but both doorways sport puppy paw prints, smudged glass on the storm doors, even a little mildew and dirty buildup on the doors themselves.  Truly they could all use fresh paint, but the weather isn't conducive to that today, so I settled for cleaning the back door, frame and surrounding.  Oh my goodness!  What a difference it made!  I've still got a little work to do at the back door, but I can say honestly that the appearance of that entrance is vastly improved already.  I hope to be able to tackle the front doors a little later today.

So this is my challenge to you today.  Take time to really look hard at your entrances and clean them up a little.  If you do nothing more than shake out the Welcome mat and wipe the doors with a damp cloth, I'm sure you'll find the appearance is far more appealing to you and your visitors.
