18. We do take off our shoes, but not by the door.

It's just me and my husband, and we each have a place to do that, and to leave the shoes...

It's not a requirement, though. We're just more comfortable in slippers...

Books or magazines. Now, that's another great idea.

I may need more baskets!

Thanks!
