[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is an interesting thread and made me stop and think about whether my house feels like home.  It does, but I don't get a rush of relief when I walk in the front door.  And as I think about it, I think that is because our front foyer is cluttered and has no good place to store all of our bags, coats, shoes, etc.  But once I get past that, I feel happy to be here.  I guess I should keep up the effort to keep it clutter free.  We do not have a driveway, garage, or a mudroom with our old home in DC and I would love at least a side door for entering with a mudroom that isn't our front door.  If we move instead of renovating this house, that will be at the top of my priority list.  [/quote]

Do you really need to renovate for that? We live in a tiny condo in DC and the front door opens right into the living room. But we have a place for keys, bags, coats and mail that is organized and visually pleasing off to the side of the door. Not a built in or anything, just some pretty wall hooks and a little console I spent some time finding that is just the right size and height, plus cute little bowls for keys and a little mat for shoes underneath.

I too would love a real foyer or a mud room or just some way to separate our front door from the rest of the house. But I still get a rush of relief when I walk in my door, because I love how our living room looks and because the entry is arranged in a way that I know just where to put everything before getting all the way into the house.[/quote]
