In One Door and Out the Other
Let's start with the entry way. The simple addition of hooks to this mirror from Crate & Barrel makes it a great place for keys, your purse and a good once-over before you head out the door.
Mudroom. Laundry Room. Garage. Back Door. Front Door. Wherever it’s located, it’s your family’s direct route into your abode. They come home from school, soccer practice, or work and they are simply too excited, tired or preoccupied to even think about putting their stuff in its proper place. Books, jackets, shoes… the list goes on. Where can we put it all? I am not offering any miracle solutions but there are some stylish storage options that may make things easier to find when they are heading out again. And let’s face it, you could use a place for your jacket, purse and keys. 
The Painted Cottage Locker from LL Bean comes in 5 colors and is durable enough for jackets, boots and whatever else the kids bring home with them.
If you only have a corner to spare, then this is the perfect place to kick off your boots.
A modern approach keeps it simple but with lots of storage for shoes, leashes, and compact umbrellas.

Hi - that first picture is not from Ballard Designs, it’s from the Windham Collection by Crate and Barrel — http://www.crateandbarrel.com/family.aspx?c=950&f=24570&q=windham&fromLocation=Search&DIMID=400001&SearchPage=1

Thank you very much for catching that and it’s been corrected. When I write my posts I select many options and then narrow it down to the best ones. I forget to replace this one! Good eyes:-)
