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.
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…
I’m here, I’m here!! I’ve completely fallen off the blog wagon for a couple of weeks. Just had way too much going on. Weekend sports, Izzy’s birthday party, my mom came in for a visit, and tackling a few belated projects. I get my love of DIY from my mom, so she is always game…
Thanks to my husband, I had a couple of free minutes to myself the other day and decided to tackle a Pinterest project I was wanting to try for Christmas. Best part – it didn’t cost me a thing! I also drew up another quick piece of art (based off stationary I saw here) to…
Last month I shared my plans for ripping out our existing master bedroom closet and installing an IKEA PAX wardrobe system. You can check out all of my inspiration closets in this post. A couple of weeks ago we flew my mom into town, my partner in crime when it comes to projects, and we…
Made some progress on the entry yesterday! I have the mirror hung and hooks on the wall. Nothing ubber pretty going on here, but hey, progress is progress. I found the hooks at Hobby Lobby – 50% off. They were silver and I slapped a little Rub n’ Buff on them. …
I feel like this has been SUCH a long time coming. The last time Sam had a “finished” room was in his nursery back when we lived in Kansas. He only had that room for a couple of months before we moved to TX. We lived in a rental while we waited on our house…
