When the LA Times recently ran pictures of the Pickfair Mansion, which was often frequented by luminaries such as F. Scott Fitzgerald, Joan Crawford, Albert Einstein, and Amelia Earhart, I was particularly taken with the grandeur of the foyer. So, for this latest What You're Wanting, I asked how you'd decorate this glamorous entry.

Hi CasaSugar,
I moved into a new apartment seven months ago, and for the life of me I can't figure out what to do with this entry railing. When you enter our front door, you are greeted by a staircase that goes downstairs to our roommate's room. The staircase has this trough-like railing .

This Solid Aluminum Work Desk ($1,450) was used by the US military in the 1950s. But I doubt many of you are interested in furnishing military offices. An unusual furnishing, the surface facing the desk has a row of four hooks and 20 clips, and several small cubby holes to store odds and ends, which I would assume were used in some sort of ultra-efficient military organization system.

Designed by Kai Linke & Johannes Hemann and made of steel and polyester rope, Catching the Wild (inquire for price) is "a coat stand that carries your wild clothes." I think this quirky design is the ideal way to simultaneously heed to your hallway and pay tribute to the wild, wild West. What do you think?

I often feel that hallways are the most ignored spaces in our homes. If anything, we paint the walls, hang a photograph or piece of artwork, and set a console table there with a lamp. And "landing strips" are neither inventive nor novel; they're just something that evolves when we ditch our stuff at the front door.

Ah, the entry. It's the first interior space that guests will see, and it's the first place you step when you enter your home after a long day at work or play. The entry room is asked to do so many things: provide storage for jackets and shoes, display mementos, file mail, and store outdoor and pet equipment.

It's no surprise that a number of CasaSugar readers are also interior designers, and today I'm featuring photos of a foyer transformation that RCLDesignGirl completed for a client and posted in the Su Casa group. (Want to share your photos? Here's how to join Su Casa.)
As a junior interior designer for a professional contract design firm, RCL's challenge was to transform a very traditional entryway into a veritable gallery for displaying the client's quirky art collection.
