This blog post was updated on December 28, 2018 with new entryway table designs.<\/em><\/p>\n

It (almost) goes without saying: Your entryway<\/a> is the introduction to your home.\u00a0As such, it has two main objectives:<\/p>\n

1) Keep you organized & comfortable.<\/p>\n

2) Show off your style.<\/p>\n

Here are three options (with three steps each!) to inspire your entryway to do both.<\/p>\n

The Entryway Table and Friends<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

1. We’re starting with a basic, gorgeous hall table (Amish Hardwood Large Mission Hall Table with Drawer<\/a>) which is really the place you want<\/em> to start when building up an entry. It serves as a landing strip for keys, mail, jewelry, phone, etc. If you remember little else . . . remember the hall table!<\/p>\n

2. Next, we add a place to sit — to put on shoes, to take off shoes, to drop your bag. Stools, benches, real chairs . . . take your style pick!<\/p>\n

3. Finally, the recommended miscellany: A lamp (or two!) to light your way, and a mirror for a quick morning glance before dashing out. Those are the basics, here are the styles!<\/p>\n

\"RUSTIC<\/a><\/p>\n

This sort of rustic isn’t only for the cabin and the ranch (though it would look pretty smart in both). It’s sophisticated and clean, thanks to strong lines and a limited color story. The entryway table holds a basket for messy things that need gathering (logs for the fire, umbrellas, muddy slip-ons) a handmade wooden bowl to catch the small items, and a decorative vase to bring in some green. The wooden saddle stool\u00a0carries the theme along without veering into\u00a0tacky land.<\/p>\n

\"GLAM<\/a>From down-home to downtown, the dark color and sleek lines of the entryway table transfer seamlessly to city (or suburban!) glamour. The striking pattern on these Double X-Back Stools<\/a>\u00a0up the ante, easily hold their own against a gold sculpture and equally sculptural lamps. Note the symmetry in this style: dual chairs, dual lamps, four identical mirrors in a line. Because glam can get out-of-hand, over-the-top, and somewhat twee (glitter + shine + pink will do that) pretty quickly, it’s important to\u00a0keep everything else in balance — literally.<\/p>\n

\"COTTAGE<\/a><\/p>\n

The beauty of the entryway table takes a back seat to family photos, backyard hydrangeas and glass or candle collections in this homey style. The French Country Style Dining Chair<\/a> gets cozy with a beach-themed pillow, the Amish Wooden Stepstool<\/a> is the perfect size for that tote-everywhere tote, and the wall backs up the theme with family-friendly decor: a monogram, a whitewashed and distress mirror, and quotable wall-hanging art.<\/p>\n

Both the Amish Heritage Mission Half-Moon Console Table<\/a>\u00a0can satisfy both traditional and contemporary decor.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n
