Living Room- First Impressions

In my home the living room is the room I try to keep the nicest. It is what all of my guest see first when they enter the home. It is the infamous first impression, and can sometimes be a pain in the butt.

Key box! If your anything like me losing your keys is an every day battle. Or leaving them in the door all night... which is terrifying realize anyone could have gotten into my home! I got this key box several months ago and it just fit my home so perfectly! I really enjoy how it looks and now I hardly ever lose my keys because they have a specific place to go every time. They have several style of these out there. I really like this one because of the added drawer for pens or things I may need when answering the door. 

Command hook command hook command hook lets be honest I may be a bit obsessed with these nifty gadgets. I put one hook under my key holder to help with things like jackets or purses. Normally I would put my purse here but because I did not bring it in last night it got to hold our jackets. I really did not want 50 command hooks holding separate things so one works great for me. I always put my daughters jacket on the hook first and then mine. Saves space that way! 

I am really not a big shoe fan. I wish I could say other wise but all of my shoes fit into that basket down there. I love using baskets to contain a mess. As well as my coat hook which I put a few things I might need because I live in Missouri there is no telling what tomorrows weather will be! 

Once again I love my baskets! A rule I have in my house is bedroom toys stay in the bedroom! She gets one basket in the living room with toys and if she wants to bring more out then we take some out of the basket and restock them. This basket places under the side table just perfectly! 

I love my two cabinets I have in my living room! I used the bottom for Millie's books. She has a ton of books and for awhile they were in a basket but there were just to many so I have her the bottom cabnit! She knows that is where her books go and almost always puts them away!

Above is a few diaper supplies, coloring books and her flash cards as well as a DIY house freshener I made when things just don't have the fun smell. We also have all her kids movies (which I secretly enjoy). I used a organized box to keep my movies in because we honestly don't use them that often. But when I do I can flip through and pick one and can put it back easily! 

I hope this helped! 

Have a great Thursday! 

Just one more day till the WEEKEND!
