It’s been a while since I talked about our garage mudroom. Almost 4 months actually. Sheesh! We ended up having lockers built in when we had some other work done on our house. You can check out the progress and my inspiration pics here. TIP: If your having someone else build your lockers (or any other built-ins), save yourself major money by painting them yourself.
We started with an empty wall that leads inside. Our family uses this as our main entry. I always imagined this as the perfect spot for built in lockers. A spot where the kids can drop all their stuff off so it doesn’t end up on the floors and kitchen counters, and when running out of the house, they can grab it and go.
And, here she is!!! My organization heart still skips a beat when I see her!
Everyone has their own spot. The metal baskets above hold beach towels, pool toys, skates, and other toys. I love that it’s still accessible, but not in your face.
The cabinet in on the side offers even more out of sight storage. It was mainly built to conceal our Berkey water filter (seriously the best tasting water that will ever cross your lips, no lie). And, the trash can next to the door holds our dog’s food.
Sunscreen and bug spray are stored up top.
The water filter was placed on a notched shelf so you can easily pour water without having to pull the heavy filter out. Love that!
And the kids can easily get to their sidewalk chalk and bubbles at the bottom.
We’ve utilized this space multiple times a day. If you’re toying with the idea of putting in a mudroom wall (small or large, inside or out) just DO IT. And add lots of hooks. You can never have to many hooks 😉
Also, a big thank you to Cut Out & Keep for featuring me as their DIY Superstar this week!!! I’d love for you to stop by and check it out. They will be featuring a different DIY of mine each day!
Looks great – but I especially love the "hide the water container" storage!! Can you tell me what filter system you use?? I have those big ugly blue bottles 🙁 Thanks!!
Thank Lynda! It's a Berkey water filter. They come is a bunch of difference sizes, ours is one of the larger ones. It's seriously the best tasting water EVER. I like that you just fill it up with your tap water, that way you don't have to go anywhere for replacements or refills.
I posted a picture on my Instagram of a “few” frames I picked up the other day. I’m working on doing something for the now bare wall in my dining room, from moving the large buffet out of there. This is what it currently looks like in it’s unfinished state. I ran out of the black paper…
Our living room rug bit the dust. It actually needed to be replaced about 6 months ago, but I just kept ignoring the problem. Like it’s going to go away or something. When the hole reached 1’x2′ I knew I had to do something. Pretty bad, huh? I think a couple of things lead to…
If you follow me on Instagram, you may have already seen a sneak peek at my newly organized pantry. It feels so good to have my act together in here finally! To keep the bulky like items corralled, I went with baskets and bins. The Play-doh is still hanging out in the pantry, but is…
I mentioned the very vague plans for the laundry room in my post here. Here’s what I have been envisioning for this wall. Storage galore!!!! We are now well on our way in here! The cabinets have been built, subway tile is up (despite having a momentary meltdown about the yellow grout which I’ll save…
I’m still knee deep in getting the house ready to be put on the market. Mike has been in and out of town during this process which has greatly intensified the suck factor. And, I’ve got Izzy’s 4th birthday party happening this weekend (I’ve completely dropped the ball on this). I’ve got some stuff to…
This is one of those projects I’ve had done for a while, but haven’t yet shared. I had a boat load of photos documenting the process of how I installed the wood trim around my master bathroom mirrors and was so excited to share it with you guys. Unfortunately those photos were all on the…
