The entry way is the first thing someone sees when coming into your house. Why not make a good first impression?
When people walk into a home with a welcoming entry way, it immediately makes them feel at ease and gives the appearance of a neat and tidy home. Consider a mirror in the space to make if feel brighter and bigger. The mirror we used was a great garage sale find and only cost us $5. The 5 cube bookcase on the left is from IKEA and the two lower bins is where we store our shoes. The bench is a multi-purpose piece of furniture we built ourselves. Inside is stores our cat litter box. The lid is removable for easy care and the inside is lined with turf to attempt to catch more of the litter to prevent tracking. It works great for keeping the smell of the litter contained and most people don't even realize what the bench is! It's a comfortable spot to sit and put on your shoes.
