 WEEK #10 THE MUDROOM

Mudrooms are all the rave these days. Even if you don’t live in colder climates, mudrooms are being built in new homes as a standard feature.

My challenge for you this week is to create a dedicated mudroom “space” in your home, where you can hang coats, & store shoes, gloves, keys and bags.  If you don’t have a mudroom, choose from one of the examples below.

 

MUDROOM SPACES 

 

What you will need to create a mudroom “space”

 

  • Baskets
  • Hooks, etc.
  • Bench or cubbies
  • Dedicated space close to the door
  • A place for your keys & cell phones

 

Use your imagination when creating a mudroom “space” for your family.  Make it your own style. Make it function for you. DONT FORGET TO TAKE A “BEFORE” PICTURE OF YOUR SPACE.

Use baskets to store cold weather accessories, pet stuff, and extra shoes.

Our home was built with a “technology cabinet”.  We charge our cell phones & Ipads here. We made copies of all the keys for the house & store them here as well.

Dog accessories hang right by the door for easy access.

Keep copies of all keys in your mudroom.  If a family member needs one, they know where to find them, even if you are not home.
