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.
There is even more Summer decor coming your way. Today I am participating in the Something Different Summer Home Tour! Why “something different”? The twenty-two homes participating in this tour are as varied as the women living in them. Each home has it’s own style and you are sure to find something different and unique…
I’ve been painting my little heart out over here the past few days. While painting a wall has immediate gratification, painting cabinets does not. I’m in cabinet painting hell. But I know it will be worth it in the end, and the cost savings of me doing it myself is well worth the pain. Here’s…
Thank you so much for all of your comments regarding the permanent marker incident. It really does make me feel better knowing I’m not the only one whose child is entertained by giving their mothers heart attacks ;D And, thanks for all of the tips you had for trying to remove “art” from the walls! …
Took me long enough, but I finally took photos of the dining room now that I finished the molding and painting! It’s so much brighter in here, and I can’t get over how much larger the space feels. Keep in mind I’ve still got some work to do – it never ends. But, here we are! I went with…
I am a total procrastinator. In a bad way. The days go by and I think I’ve got in under control until BAM, reality hits and I’m running around like a chicken with its head cut off trying to get everything done at the last hour. For all of you like me, this series is…
Sometimes it’s the little things that often go unnoticed that make a difference. For me, I can’t stop thinking about black hinges on white doors. I just love the way it looks! | amber interiors | | hunted interior | | cote de texas | When we were building I asked how much it…
