Wouldn’t it be great to have a mud room like one of these?
I love the little bench, organized bins, and places to hang coats.
Ooooh. Built in storage!!! Wouldn’t that be great?
I think the next one is my favorite.
Well, I don’t have a real mudroom and I don’t have the budget of those fancy magazines who stage the mudrooms above.
This is my mudroom/laundry room.
When we moved into our house, the washer and dryer were on the right hand wall of our laundry room. When we bought our new fancy-pants washer and dryer, we put in a new floor, painted, and switched the washer and dryer to the back wall. Then we hired a California-Closets-Type company to put in our cupboards at the top of the wall.
The shoe cubby came from Storables and I was so pleased that it was a perfect match to our new woodwork.
The bins make me happy.
We added a few hooks and our tiny little space could almost be called a mudroom.
One problem…. There was no place to hang backpacks, swim bags, or purses.
The solution…. The backpack rack from Storables! It’s only $4.95 and attaches to any door without leaving marks or holes.
My kids had been throwing their backpacks on the floor of our tiny little mudroom/laundry room. We couldn’t even make our way to the washing machine or find a single pair of shoes.
There.
A place for everything and everything in its place.
Happy organizing!
Here are a few linky parties I like to participate in.

your whole room makes me happy. I don't have a mudroom either, but I do have a laundry room. I may have to borrow some of your ideas.

Everything you've done to it makes it a great mudroom! I wish my laundry room was big enough to do this. Its a tiny room. I do like the organization though!

Nice! I am tackling my laundry room this year…repainting, board and batten on one wall, painting the cabinets…the works! I don't have a mudroom either but I am convinced if I do the right thing in my laundry room it will "make do" as a mudroom. Gotta love those great organizing solutions!
