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.
Do you remember the design board I won from Kristy at Hyphen Interiors that I posted about here? For the mantel, she suggested a sunburst mirror and flanking it with topiaries. Sunburst – check. Topiaries – dragging my buns… until a couple of days ago. I was pretty happy with how the first one turned out so…
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…
The first of this month I mentioned we were having a new chandelier put up in our entry. I was BEYOND excited over here. You may have even seen the progress shots in my Instagram story last week. Old chandelier came down, new one went up and I feel in love. Isn’t she pretty?! I…
I was recently contacted by the folk at Kidecals. You may have already heard of them, they offer personalized name labels and decals. They are dishwasher, washer, and dryer proof. Pretty much any label you can think of, they’ve you covered. | thin name decals | | daycare labels | | allergy alerts…
Last year was not doubt a crazy one, but things still got done around the house. I wanted to round up my 2020 home projects in one post and share my very loose plans for things I would like to get to this year. Let’s dive into it. DIY French Seam Bed Ny first project…
So, I’ve been wanting to paint the powder room for quite some time now, but have kept in on the back burner until some of the major projects have been taken care of (painting trim, new doors, etc). I finally tackled it when I needed a break from painting all of the windows. Which now…
