I do not have a mudroom, my front door walks into my living and dining room area which is usually fine. My problem is where the family enters the house, which is through the garage and right into the kitchen area. This is where everything gets dumped from shoes, to jackets and backpacks. This is my biggest eye sore of the house and the one I have struggled with the most.

[...] August 17, 2008 in Organization | Tags: hall closet, hooks | After drooling over this mudbench and the hanging hooks, I strong-armed my dear hubby into helping my re-organize the hall/entry closet. Now my “work of art” is certainly not as glorious, but the closet is now functional instead of a 4 letter word. (And I got rid of another of my household nemeses – the inconvenient hanging clothes bars and shelves that are too deep to reach to the back! Mu-ha-ha-ha!) On top of that, I have a good pile of things for the YMCA Advancement next time they come to take donations. Thus – I present my “entry” (pun intended) for the Organizing Junkie’s Roundup – the Entry Way. [...]

i’m loving that people with split foyers are commenting. I thought I was the only one reading. It is really tough organizing a split entryway. Please let me know your thoughts as well.

We just moved to the Northeast and are used to Texas heat. We don’t have a mud room so I am trying to figure out what we are going to do in the winter with all of our coats and boots. You are inspiring me to make it really organized! I found this great storage bench at a barn sale for $5 so I think I’ll start with that.

Laura..
speaking of shoe storage..I got this great idea from one of my friends and it has helped us so much. For anyone that has the front loading washer and dryer on the pedestal..We use one pedestal for shoe storage. Our laundry room is right off the back entrance. We didn’t have enough room in there for ALL the shoes that find their way to that room and that one small corner of the room. So, I just lined the drawer of the pedestal to the washer w/ newspaper and one side is for one kid’s shoes and the other side is for the other kids’. Works great!

I may have to enter this one. I’ve wanted to do this all year but admittedly have lacked the motivation. Oh, and BTW, did you know Organize Magazine is out of business? I got an email from them that they were looking for an acceptable way to substitute our remaining issues. Thanks for all of the great tips…love this blog

My mudroom is my laundry room. I also run a home daycare business so I need ideas as to how I can organize it all! I also have a main closet. Any ideas???

Oh Laura, you always know how to hit on the areas that I need to work on. :)

I love, love, love that PB entry organizer from one of the links. It is gorgeous and so functional! I’d love to find a smaller version of that for my space, as it’s a bit of a funny layout.

Oh my goodness, that’s great! Thank you Laura!

I’m not going to be able to participate for the next few months but I can’t wait to see what everyone else comes up with!
