(shut the) front door
We have two doors in the front of our house.

This one goes into the living room. I don't especially like that feature and there are other homes with the same configuration on our block wherein the porch has been converted into an entry with a closet and a window. Sometimes we talk about doing that to our house but we like our porch. And where would we keep the firewood?

This other "front door" goes into the kitchen. In hindsight, I realize that we should have made a larger entry at this part of the house when we built it. Just inside the door are hooks and a place for boots and recycling and cases of beverages but it's not a pretty sight. It's too small.
But you know what we say?
Say la vee!

Around here the main entrance is never a "front door." Yet we still build houses with them prominently placed.
Keep the front porch by all means. It's charming, and yes, it's the perfect place for the wood.
I wish I had a solution for your entry "issues" but they would all be frightfully expensive, so I too say Say la vee!

NO wait. That sounds really creepy.
You know what I mean.
It's wonderful.
Kim, be careful to do that. I didn't even approach the door and the very protective Oldest was looking at me with mean eyes.
But I need more than that to be scared off, so I kept on screaming and jumping all through my way to that front door on the porch. Just like a 5 year old would do.
Oldest took pity on me, obviously.
