The large sliding wood door can be closed to separate the entryway from the main living area of the home. A curved floating wood shelf between the two spaces is the ideal spot for dropping your keys and phone when you walk inside.

One unique design feature is that the door has a cut-out that allows it to close around a shelf that travels between the entryway and the living area.
