The Entryway
A mirror that doubles the light, a place to land the mail and the keys, and a glow that meets you at the door. Five finds that turn a pass-through into the room everyone comments on first.

See price on AmazonArched Full-Length Floor Mirror with Gold Frame
"The mirror that doubles the room. A tall arch in a slim gold frame that leans against the wall and borrows light from the window opposite it. Full-length enough for the honest outfit check, handsome enough that it counts as furniture."

See price on AmazonRustic Solid Wood Console Table
"The entryway piece that looks salvaged from an old farmhouse rather than shipped in a box. Thick, rough-hewn solid wood with the knots and grain left in, on two slab legs — sturdy enough for the lamp, the vase, and the stack of mail you keep meaning to sort. Add a painting above it and the hallway stops being a hallway."

$149.99Black & White Faux-Marble Storage Cabinet — 30.7″
"The cabinet that refuses to be merely useful. Black-and-white faux-marble doors in a crisp geometric pattern, gold handles, and a shelf inside for everything that needn't be on display. A little entryway drama, a handsome dining-room extra, and somewhere to put the things you were just about to tidy."

See price on AmazonIvory Shagreen Storage Boxes with Gold Handles — Set of 2
"Two ivory boxes with a pebbled shagreen texture and slim gold bar handles — the sort of thing a decorator puts on a console to hide the remotes and the receipts. Stack them, split them, or put the big one on the coffee table and pretend it was always there."

See price on AmazonPlug-In Night Lights with Adjustable Glow — Set of 2
"The night light that grew up. A slim black cylinder that washes warm light up the wall and down to the floor, with a dimmer so the hallway glows instead of glares. Guests will ask where you found them; the answer is embarrassingly easy."
