I love having a place to throw keys, my purse, sunglasses, mail … you name it … when I walk in the door for the day.
This black and brown chest is perfect for that!
And it has plenty of storage! The drawers hold scarves and gloves – which we have a lot of here in Wisconsin.
And now that we have our cute puppy, Oakley, it’s a great place to stash dog leashes and extra dog toys.
I’ve had this white basket for years. It’s perfect for tossing in car keys or sunglasses when we walk in the door.
The basket actually came as a two-part set from HomeGoods. The larger one is in the family room holding blankets.
The lamp from Kirkland’s was an impulse buy on one of many shopping trips there. It’s the perfect height!
I love the pop of color the lampshade adds, plus the soft light is nice to have on at night.
And the mirror is of course from Kirkland’s – my go-to shop for mirrors! Love having the option for a quick last look before I walk out the door.
It’s not a big foyer, but it works for us!

Pinning this! I need to do something with my entry and I think a chest of drawers is a brilliant idea. I also love the mirror.

Great set up! I love the design and the detail! What a smart idea to place a dresser there for winter accessories and dog toys and such! I like the lamp too! The hint of orange looks nice against the dark brown stain on the furniture! Thanks for sharing, have a fun weekend!

Looks great! Love the piece and the storage! Our entryway unfortunately has no room for any larger pieces but I do have a cool coat rack I made out of an old headboard!
GreenWithDecor says
Thanks, Sara! I’ve seen your coat rack – I love it!
