Hi friends! As excited as I was to share with you our kitchen, I’m even more excited to be sharing our amazing mud room/ locker area with you all today. I’m a huge creature of habit as well as someone whose a little bit, shall I admit, OCD when it comes to everything organizational so when thinking about a locker room/mud area for our family to use, I wanted something practical, all the storage we could fit and clean.
We were lucky to have such a great wall space to start with. When Zach and I first looked at this model home last year our immediate reaction was to make something of this big space and it seemed best to put a locker area here. I also wanted a bench for the kids to sit down and put their shoes on.
Originally I was thinking I wanted four lockers, one for each person in our family but our wall space could actually allow us to have five lockers if we wanted. I also wanted, as I said, as much storage as possible for baskets including items for all four seasons, storage for shoes as well as something that I could use some spots to decorate as a great extension coming off our kitchen.
When I saw this picture on Pinterest I knew it was exactly what I was looking for. I shared it with our incredible family friend who built the entire thing in about three days in our garage. I almost cried watching him put everything together because it was absolutely incredible. We hired a painter to paint the bead board, the trim and inside where the baskets would be.
One of my favorite parts of this piece is the small area that we have as a “charging station” for us and the kids to use for our phones. We have so many cords all over the place ( which makes me cringe seeing it all over the counters ) that now it can hide in this little area! I’m sure our kids will be using it as the get older for their laptops or tablets too!
I found these gold hooks HERE and loved the accent it gave the mudroom. We stained the bench as close to our floor color and I’m pleased to say it came out an almost exact match. The baskets are extremely deep wicker baskets that we purchased HERE and are perfect for all the boots, sneakers and sandals my kids wear on a weekly basis ( because mother nature can never make up it’s mind during this time of year ).
The baskets in the center shelves are from HERE. I love the polka dot to give the space some texture plus the wood handles add a great little accent to them. I think it just brings everything together! I also love that I can change out the top shelves with various items to decorate for the different seasons. I may be adding a few other organizational things down the road so stay tuned for an update in a few months too!
How gorgeous! I just love how this turned out. I need to do something like this to organize all of our stuff.
I have seen more entry ways like this for individual kids. I like the look. But I don't mind shelving and hooks that everyone feels okay to use when they come to visit. Very organized and great looking.
Now that is one stylish mudroom. I love that the shelving matches your floor and it's spacious enough to keep everything neat and tidy. I now have mudroom envy.
Love how this turned out! x
Omg its so cute! It's literally Pinterest/Picture Perfect. I definitely want a mud room when I have kids.
Oh wow this is such a lovely area! I like how organised you have made this! I think every home should have such an area.
I'm obsessed! Would love to create something similar when we have the space. I love that there is space for everyone, and everything.
So beautiful! I have showed my husband many pictures of almost identical pictures for when we move into a larger space. I love the way it's so easily put together and everyone will find things before they walk out the door.
I actually really love this! It's so creative and an extremely great idea. Thanks for sharing this.
I'd love to see this in use. Ha! It is gorgeous and I love the baskets.
So neat. So me too haha! I think we'll get along perfectly
Looks great Cait! A mudroom is must for my next house.
I love this! Such good home inspo as well.

It is beautiful, and looks so functional! I really wanted to do something like this in our mudroom, but we never got around to it.
I love this. The charging station is such a great idea.
Mud room is a great idea, rellay loved it.
This is such a good idea – I will definitely be doing this when we build!
What a lovely idea. Perfect since I am planning to have a home remodeling next month. I want to add charging station of our closet.
I found this super inspiring. I'd love to duplicate but alas my house is too small 🙁
This is an awesome organizational area. We have a bunch of bins and hooks, but it definitely does not look as organized as this. What a great finished product!
Wow, this is incredible! It turned out so perfectly and looks much prettier than the pile of shoes next to my front door. I really want to do something like this, too.
This really beautiful mud room. We don't have a space put mud room in our house. Your friend did amazing job. Love those gold piece and I like the idea of putting baskets it is neat and clean.
I freaking LOVE THIS and wish I had the space to do it in my home. It is a major goal in the future.
wow! This area is simple but well organized. I will use some of your tips!
This looks like an amazing piece for organizing anyone's home. I'll definitely check out and see if there's a way I can apply this to my area.
It looks wonderful, so organized and stylish. Thank you for sharing this, I will keep it as an inspiration for our entry way. Sending positive vibes!
looks very neat! We are in the middle of renovation of our house as well now. We are two away from finishing bedroom (that is waiting for new bed to made and delivered) and living room should be finished in couple of days. So excited. I love your locker room, makes me feel so motivated!
Such a pretty mudroom! I love how clean, bright and organized it is. Good job there, girl! -Lynndee
Simply Gorgeous! I would love to have something like that at our home!
What an excellent use of space! I absolutely love it!
You did a great job! Thank you for sharing
Love this! I wish we had more space at home for a room like this. 🙂
Absolutely amazing . If you have a large wall and space, it's a must need, I am sure it holds most of the storage stuff . We have a similar one too.
Thats probably the most organized mud room ive ever seen! Thanks for the inspiring tips 🙂
Wow! That turned out amazing! I really wish that we had enough room to do something like this in our back entryway cuz it would be awesome…
Wow this is amazing! You built a really nice area. I really wish I had a house so I could do stuff like that.
Holi!
I love your little corner. I thought it was a great idea and very well made. And the charging station is perfect for charging smartphones and tablets.

This is neat and great tips to organize things and keep the space tidy.
Brilliant job, this has made a plain wall look so lovely, not only that but the place is more usable and can help reduce clutter.Real inspiration.
The locker area looks neat and well streamlined without the feel of anything haphazard. Nice job.
I need this in my house ASAP! Not for me -I'm clean – but my husband and dogs! haha
Love the transformation of your mudroom. The contract of the hardwood against the white is so pretty.
That is a great idea! If I had this kind of space in my home, something like this would be perfect. I love how neat and organized it is.
You did such a great job there! I love it! I would like to have the space to do something like this. It would truly help us be more organized here.
