IT DOESN’T necessarily take much work or much money to make your
home’s entry more inviting. Even if you don’t have a grand entrance hall
like the one above, you can use your imagination to add decorating
touches that give your home's entrance more personality.

#Fiome’s hall makes
first impression

NOW THAT family and friends
won’t be tracking snow, ice and
mud into your entry for a while,
it’s time to consider redecorating
your home’s ‘‘first impression.’’

At one time ‘‘hall’’ was a four-
letter word for the small space that
introduced people to your home.
Any advice about decorating halls
also employed four-letcr words:
Words such as ‘‘clue"’ (halls were
supposed to give a clue to the per-
sonality of a house) and ‘‘link’’
(halls were intended to link rooms
that opened off them) and ‘‘aura’’
(color and pattern were most often
used to make halls inviting).

Our freed-up feeling about dec-
orating today begins with entrance
halls. Liberated from convention,

halls have become enchanted
places in which to make entrances
and exits. More than that, halls
can be spaces that are considered
rooms in their own right.

It may not be the first place you
consider when you are decorating
or remodelling, but the entrance
hall carries an enormous amount
of weight in your home’s first im-
pression. The hall is no longer a
mere vestibule or passageway, but
a prelude to what follows.

Set foot in your entrance hall,
How does it feel?

your family like are expressions of

feet.

* Apply finish with a wide
brush, lambswool applicator, or a
short-nap roller cover with a new
roller pan.

Apply finish evenly, letting it
flow into the wood with a mini-
mum of brushing or rolling. When
the finish has dried, lightly sand
with 100 grit sandpaper.

Remove all dust and apply a se-
cond coat. Let this last coat dry at
least four to six hours.

* Maintain the appearance of
fine wood floors by dust mopping
and by wiping with a cloth slightly
