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.
You guys, I am in love with the new look for my kitchen table. In love! I ended up using Briwax Liming Wax, thanks to the suggestion of Cassie from Primitive & Proper (the woman is a furniture whisperer). It gave me just the look I was going for and couldn’t have been easier. After…
(I was provided the wall mural used in this post; however, all options are my own. For more info, visit my full disclosure here.) After the playroom makeover post you just saw, I bet you thought I was done in there didn’t you? Nope!! Just a couple of days after it was considered finished I…
I’ve not posted much on the progress of our new house because up until now there hasn’t been much progress. We were originally suppose to close Nov. 15th. Didn’t happen. December 12th. Ha! They still haven’t finished bricking the exterior. Then they said end of the year, and now we’re looking at January 29th. You…
I’ve had most of the house decorated since the day after Thanksgiving. I’m practically itching to get my tree up as soon as dinner is over with. I like getting to rediscover the decorations I got on sale after Christmas the year before. Sort of like a pre-Christmas present 🙂 (BTW, if you look in the…
I was looking around the living room yesterday and realized I have never really talked about some of the changes I have made in here. This post is picture heavy, but you’ll now be in the loop. I’ll stick a source list at the bottom. We finally pulled the trigger on the chairs late last…
I was going to post this yesterday morning, but the night before I was feeling crummy and opted to eat ice cream and Oreos. You know, for my throat 😉 But seriously, I did make it feel better! Anywho… this is what the dining room looks like as of today. I took advantage of my mom…
