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 made a couple of changes to our master bedroom that I’m so excited about! Here’s what the room had last looked like: The first to change were the drapes. I replaced the dark gray drapes with bright white. And since I like to be completely honest with you guys, I’ll tell you that when…
This want is actually more of a need. We didn’t have guttering placed on the sides and back of our house. A cost saving decision made during our build. Now that we’ve had some pretty substantial rains here in Houston, it’s becoming a bit of a problem. We now have this…
A little background story for you first. When we built our house the plan was always to change out the builder grade light fixtures. I know that sounds kind of silly, but since it wasn’t a custom build we couldn’t bring in whatever light fixtures we wanted, we could only choose from what they had…
Ok, so the Christmas decorations have been up for almost 2 weeks now. I was really wanting to do a lot more before taking these photos, but every time I thought about doing it I end up waddling over to the couch instead. I’m sure you get me and understand. Here’s the entry which I posted about here. …
We’re getting closer and closer to having the selections for our new house completed. I can’t wait to be done already! I already shared with you guys the kitchen selections. Today we’re talking about the master bath. These are the images I keep going to for inspiration. {via} {via} …
This Summer I have been organizing different drawers around the house and getting them under control once and for all. It doesn’t matter how often drawers get purged, if you don’t have dedicated containers for the smaller items your drawers will quickly get out of control again. I wanted to share with you the affordable…
