Sure! Here are four different ways to make your entryway more functional:

**Consider the Room’s Use**: Think about where you’re painting. High-traffic areas like hallways or kids' rooms might need something more durable, like satin or semi-gloss, while a bedroom could go for a softer matte finish.

**Glass**: Clear and colored glass pieces are in, especially for vases and lighting fixtures. They can make a space feel lighter and more open.

**DIY Paper Plate Masks**: Grab some paper plates, scissors, and whatever art supplies you have lying around—markers, glitter, stickers, you name it! Let the kids cut out eye holes and decorate the plates to make silly or scary masks. They can even put on a little show afterward!

**Let them choose**: Give your kids a few recipe options and let them pick what they want to make. It gets them excited about cooking and they’ll be more likely to eat what they made!

"Instagram and Pinterest are great for visual inspiration! You can find before-and-after photos and lots of DIY tips from people who’ve done it themselves."

"Honestly, practice makes perfect! Start by chopping veggies regularly, and try to focus on your technique. Watching some YouTube tutorials can help too—there are tons of great chefs out there sharing tips!"

"For me, 'The Shawshank Redemption' is overrated. I get that it’s a classic, but I just didn’t find it as impactful as everyone says."

**Stunning Visuals**: Sometimes, a movie is just so beautifully shot or has amazing special effects that you can't miss it. It’s like a visual feast for the eyes!

. **Critical Thinking Skills**: When you tackle problems from multiple angles, you sharpen your critical thinking skills. You learn to analyze information and come up with creative solutions, which is super valuable in any field.
