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.
So… it took me FOREVER to finally get photos taken of the back patio. But it’s all done and ready to be used now that cooler temps are headed our way! As a reminder, here’s where we started. And here we are today! The color of the coffee table was hard to capture. It’s…
Tomorrow I’ll be doing my post for the Color My World Challenge. This week I’ll be adding hot pink in the form of a decor item. I’ve moved things around in my dining room since the last time I posted about it (during my chandelier meltdown) and I thought I’d show you how it looks today, prior to…
I am so happy to report that my LED light bulbs came in and look awesome!!! If you missed my post on the new chandelier, I was having serious problems with the yellow/orange Edison style bulbs that came with it. Wrong color being put out and definitely not enough light. You can check that post…
Thank you guys for all of your input on what I should do with my kitchen table! Took your suggestions and went for the bleached look. If you follow me on Instagram, you already knew that though 😉 Here are some progress pics for you. I’ll admit, I freaked out when the first few…
I’ve finished my master bedroom! You know, just in time to pack it all up and move. Grrrr… And, I did get my new bed in a few weeks ago, but decided to wait to put it together until after our move. Actually, my husband made me promise to wait. If it was up to…
We have so many solicitors that come through our neighborhood. Usually, they leave information at the door without even ringing the bell. But there have been a few occasions where shady people come through, become violent with homeowners who are not interested in what they are “selling”, and have even tried forcing themselves into homes….
