Entry ways are an important first impression to a home.  Obviously they need to be functional particularly in a home where there are pets and children, yet at the same time, present the image and feel of the home you are creating.  

I particularly like the look and functionality of this entry hallway.  The basket for catching scarves, purses, backpacks, the console table providing a place for keys, change, mail and enough room for boots and shoes underneath.  The mirror perched above reflects the light of the chandelier with additional lighting provided by the table lamp.  

I sourced this beautiful bench for my entry way....

Now I just have to get my creative juices flowing and come up with something spectacular!
