Design into practice: entryways (share your favorites!)

Last night, I was in a bit of a frenzy tidying up the entryway of our new home, (which we've painted the most beautiful, deep, slate grey... Pictures to come... je vous jures) and I realized that in small apartments, entryways have to be highly efficient & functional little ladies, and yet look like they're sipping champagne.

Here's the fun part: I'd love a little more inspiration. If you have pictures of entryways that thrill you, (yours in fact or yours in spirit) would you send them to me? I'll post them if I get a bunch...! don't be shy...
