Your Home's Missing This One Multi-Purpose Piece of Furniture

My entryway is an awkwardly narrow space to begin with, situated between our front door and a stairwell. But it's also a perpetual mess, as piles of shoes inevitably crowd the small area. I don't like that it's the first thing you see coming in or out, so here's my solution: An entryway bench that will contain the shoe tornado and dog toys, but still look like a nice piece of furniture that belongs in the living room.
