I need an organization solution. We have a shoe cubby near the front door of our home, and on top I have a little bin for sunglasses and keys. But I also need something else to organize coats and sweaters that we use daily, and my purse. I was thinking of hanging them on hooks or something?? But then just having bare hooks attached to the wall may not look all that great. Any ideas?

Im no help, our foyer has absolutely NOTHING in it! I definitely need to put something in there though because my purse is always sitting on this one part of our counter and Jason hates it! I think the main reason is because I carry huge purses!! Something in the entryway would be nice to keep all the keys, coats, purse...etc. Now youve got me wanting to go buy something for it!

We have nothing but a closet and a bunch of muddy shoes on the ground LOL!! Id LOVE a thin book case or a table (with a bowl for keys/wallets) , and up decorative hooks for coats, purses, hats, keys Etc. We need to do something cuz its not working how weve got it my purse ends up in the kitchen, in the dish drainer and hubby HATES it LOL!!!

[~*sierra*~]

we just have a little table that is a magnet for clutter when you come in the door. sorry i'm no help!

[~*Bethy*~]

id rather have the clutter there than on the kitchen counters or the dining room table!

Coming in our door on the left there is a cute little holder with a shelf and two closed cubbies for keys, umbrella, etc and it has hooks below it that usually hold my sweater and a scarf. Below taht we have a shoe cubby and I put my purse on top. on the right(behind the door) we have a closet where I put most of the coats, large shoes, etc.

this year is the last year for all the sets of boots and stuff hogging up the entry area *well need bigger sizes and plan to get like 2 pairs for each kids, not like 6 LOL!!!* it really adds up with little feet running around!!!

the 12 year old inside me suddenly thinks how I worded this topic's title is very funny . . . heh

Our entry consist's of about 10 floor tiles so there's pretty much no room for anything!

What about one of those benches that have 3 baskets under them? Then you could put a rack thing above the bench for coats.

We don't use our front door entrance except for when guests come over. We don't have anything in our small foyer because of that. We had a mudd room that comes in from the garage. I have the rack hook thingie there. We have a small coat closet right by that also.

We have no entry area and it kind of sucks... You walk in the door and you are straight into my living room so we have a few pair of shoes that kind of pile up by the loveseat and sometimes I just throw my purse and stuff down on the loveseat I wish we had room to put a bench or something but there isn't any room!

What do you think about something like this?

Pub Mirror - Espresso : Target

I like it. I've been wanting to get something like it.

I don't have a real foyer but the small space I have is accented with a console table, candles and a bowl with ceramic balls.

I like the pub mirror but can you give us a pic of the space?

[*Amy*]

We have something similar to what you posted minus the mirror and it holds a LOT of stuff. Keys, DH's covers (hats) for work, my purse and if I need to I can hang a coat over top of that stuff. We have a coat closet right inside too so coats get hung in there sometimes. We have a cheap shoe rack thing for all of our various shoes as well.

We don't really have anything and Dh has been wanting to get hooks for coats, etc. We have a little basket on the kitchen counter for keys. Muddy shoes go in the laundry room. Coats end up getting hung on the kitchen chairs which obviously is not ideal.

Keep in mind that anything you have down low like a shoe cubby will be something Jack can get into when he gets older... Matthew is crawling EVERYWHERE now and I am in trouble.

^ good point Shannon. I dunno though, Jack is showing very little signs of wanting to crawl. He is all about standing. He can almost pull himself to a stand from a seated position if there is something tall enough in front of him to get the right leverage out of (if he is gripping our hands he can do it no problem). I can picture Matthew crawling around your house like a mad man!

I will try and post a pic later. I don't have a foyer either. Just a spot behind the door next to our armoire.

We have an entry table/bookshelf thing from ikea. I'll take a picture tomorrow
