design inspiration: spacious entry

I sometimes think that the coming and the going at my house would be so much easier if only I had a decent space* in which to do so. A large, storage-galore space. I imagine myself gliding in and out with ease. Marveling at how organized everything is. (Basically, it's the EXACT opposite of my current sad, little crowded routine - trip over the dog, while putting on shoes, without dropping purse, while digging for keys, and convincing kiddos to sit still.)

A place a little like this...

*My current entry? in case you're wondering, is a teeny little 5x5 square with zero wall or floor space for any kind of storage whatsoever. My current mudroom? Ha! not a mudroom in sight.

Oh I am right there with you! No mudroom or possibility of ever having one. Currently in negotiations with my husband about at least getting a bench, a floor basket, some hooks...something to help organize our entryway. Your description of what you look like leaving the house sounds very familiar...

We do have a mudroom at home but we call it the "coat cemetery". The coats, scarves, shoes and boots keep piling up and I have to tidy it up every now and then if I don't want to to lose a kid under it all!
