I Dream of Entryways + Elements that can Help your Entryway Rock
AKA: Welcome to my messy living room, dirty kitchen and unmade beds down the hallway. bleeeh.
Okay, all of that depressing, never-gonna-happen stuff aside, I’m quite honestly just happy to have an entryway in this house AT ALL! Our quarters may be tight, but with our trusty little entryway table, and lots of different decor change-ups… we’ve been really happy with this area of our home!
6. A Tailored Table – Finding a table that fits your entryway perfectly, is key. You want to make sure it’s not too big, or too small. Going too far one way or another can make your entryway appear smaller and more cramped than it really may be.

So much gorgeous entryway inspiration Shelley! I love finding things for my home on ebay, and I want that light fixture (#1) !!

Wait, no place to sit down and take off your muddy shoes? No spot to hold the muddy shoes? No place to set the keys, purse, mail etc. while you help kids take off their muddy shoes? Bold lighting or a place to sit. I need a chair, please.

I love that star pendant! We're renovating the exterior of our home with a new paint color and adding some craftsman details to our currently boring bungalow and a star pendant for over the back door is on my list! We have a small entry way at the back door as well and did a closet/mini mud room make over there as well. You're photos are inspiring me to jazz it up a bit more for the Holidays when we'll have lots of guest!

Awesome. Our house just opens up to the living/dining room. I like the big open area but at times wish I had a small entry.

I love entryways! Our problem is we NEED an entry way for coats, shoes, mail, etc, but we dont actually have a place for an entry way. Our front door opens up driectly in our living room and I am so stuck on what to do so our entry space looks like it belongs.

I would love to have a fancy entryway with a side mudroom, but that just isn't happening in our house. I need to figure out how to combine the two without the word "big" being used to describe the space at all!

Do you know where I can get a star lantern like that one in the picture? I am dying for one but don't know where to look!
Judy says
Argh! No link to the star light? I'll have to go searching. I need that light. Our new house sadly doesn't have any walls in the entry, so in a few years we are absolutely going to be busting out the closet and doing exactly what you did with you closet!!! Thanks for the great pictures I can show the contractor!!

Oh to dream…. My entry way SUCKS! Seriously its only as narrow as the front door with a tiny closet on the right that's only as wide as its door. Then you take two steps in and BAM the stairs to the 2nd story right there. Can't fit a table. Maybe a mirror but even then I think when you open the front door it could bang into it. To dream…

I cannot even imagine having that big, glorious entryway. Ours is literally a long hallway, the width of the front door. I'm having the hardest time adding anything except coat hooks.
