Those fabric flowers last spring nearly did me in. Cross-stitch samplers = territory as unchartered as potpourri-making. Those fabric flowers last spring nearly did me in.

When guests are entering into the kitchen, though, I think the perfect ambience will always come from whatever food is being prepared! The Farm certainly has the ingredients to make potpourri!

Truer words have never been spoken. I would like this embroidered on a cross-stitch sampler, please. Amazing post. “I’m sure it’s possible to make good potpourri yourself, though this isn’t something I’ve tried, but if you’re purchasing it pre-made, this is a case of go big or go home.”

But I loved this post. The entrance area is indeed so important for setting tone and offering welcome. Here's a challenge: what do you do when nobody actually uses the formal entrance? In our farmhouse I had a carpenter build a hatrack/mirror cabinet appropriate to the 1879 date. But guests typically enter through via the patio, which means they step through French doors directly into the kitchen or great room. Potpourri -- maybe homemade? -- might be part of the answer.
