Entryway Organizer

How many of you have a little spot on your counter that is always covered in mail and papers?  I am guessing most?  I LOVE my counter-tops, so I am always trying to take things off of them and declutter so I can look at them :)  But, there is always that pesky mail spot that just keeps coming back.  See what I mean?

Well, why not make another place for all of that and hang it on the wall?

Shoes Off Please

Since I am a little bit of a germophobe and a clean freak, I really appreciate it when people take their shoes off in my house (not to mention our carpet is almost white...)  But, I HATE asking people to do it if they don't.  When I saw this picture on Pinterest I decided this was definitely going to be done in our new house:

Dream House: Entry

I love a big, solid wood door like the last pic and big mirrors in the entry.  I also love benches, tables, and cool coat racks or hangers.  All of these pics would fit the rustic revival look that I love too.
