Can you find a picture that shows what you're talking about?

I also was going to suggest Ikea. I have a set of shelves that you can put baskets or fabric bins in if you choose. Another thing is that once the weather gets bad and you are using boots, I always put a bin near my door. Recently, I bought a coat rack also because it holds more than the hooks I had by the door. If you get a coat rack, you might find one that has a place for umbrella in the bottom. If you have the time, I would really suggest that you take measurements of your entry way and then go to Ikea and see what they have.

We already have a sturdy set of hooks for bags and coats, but I need something for shoes, mittens, and ideally some sort of cubby to store my DH's sometimes considerable piles of work paperwork. And cheap of course!

It's a narrow rowhouse, so I doubt there's an entryway closet.

You could put this under the hooks.
Your husband needs a different place and system for his papers.
