As a mom to four {very active} children, I find that I spend quite a bit of time in the laundry room.  Most days I do two or more loads of clothes, not to mention all the extra swim towels I’m washing these days because we pretty much live at the pool in the summer.  As I was throwing the last load in today, I realized I never shared pics of our repurposed mudroom.  Back in February my brother drew up some plans and added shoe cubbies, drawers for winter and sports gear, and hooks.  Lots and lots of hooks.  Can I get an amen, moms?

This room is right off the garage door and is basically a drop zone for everything.  Backpacks, soccer gear, shoes, the dog leash, you name it.

We were able to repurpose the cabinetry on the washer/dryer side with a little paint and new hardware.

My absolute favorite thing in the room are these cubbies that my brother designed and built.  Game changer!  This room is so functional now.  And stays fairly tidy, which is no small miracle.

Little by little this house is feeling more like home.
