They say that our first impressions are the most important ones, and it may well be that this is true for places as well as people. First Impressions is all about that most important moment, and it's aimed at helping your home instantly convey the loves and lives of its inhabitants. Designed to appeal to every style, you'll find photos of formal antiques and leaded glass right next to shots of bright yellow walls and cheerful daisies. While the photos are inspirational, the text is down to earth and addresses the practical concerns of these heavily trafficked areas. While furniture can be a pleasant addition, author Anna Kasabian reminds you to never impede the flow; "nothing is so attractive that you will want to detour around it many times a day." Even with a few common-sense restrictions, her solutions of unique floor coverings and creative use of available space will provide fresh new spaces that are both easily navigated and welcoming to lingerers. If your space accommodates a small table or sitting area, Kasabian encourages you to use it, even for tea and crossword puzzles. Lighting, wall and floor treatments, architectural points, and overall style all come under scrutiny, and she suggests you include personal collections or memorabilia for a truly personal statement.
You make a point of standing up straight and smiling when you're introduced to someone. Shouldn't you make sure your home does the same? --Jill Lightner
