Are all you cow-girls (boys?) ready to rope in your entryways into the Mr. Linky below? (sorry, totally couldn’t resist :) )
Don’t be shy, we can’t wait to see what you’ve done. So whether you’ve made a big change or a little change, it’s all good. If something is working a little bit easier for you with some changes you were able to incorporate then let us celebrate that with you. Please link up below to a post on your site that shows us both your before and after pictures and remember to use the direct link to your round-up post and not to your homepage. That’s helpful for those of us who might not get a chance to take a peek at your post until later. * Also, as a courtesy, if you are going to participate please be kind and link back to this post within your post. I noticed quite a few blogs that didn’t do this last time. *
I want to give a big shout-out to our August/September sponsor, The Organize It Mom! If you haven’t had a chance to check out her products then you really must. I wrote a review over on my review site which you can read here. Laurieann will be giving away a $60.00 prize package to one of the round up participants who enters in either Aug or Sept. Entering in both gives you two chances to win! Need more time? Not a problem, you have until 3:00 pm PST on Sunday.
For more info on Org Junkie’s Monthly Round-Up and to visit previous round up entries go here. Interested in being a future sponsor? E-mail me!
Thanks all! Next month we are moving on to our home offices. Yikes!

I just found you site. I love it. I am starting in the kids rooms and yes pictures will be posted on my site, before and after. I am looking forward to the after.
Thanks for helping me get inspired!! =)
Good luck everyone!!!
Thanks for all the great ideas on this site for organizing. I don’t have a mudroom but I had fun with my closet!

PS Sorry my first link was wonky!
Hi Laura, My link is for my decoupaged chalk board I made to go next to my garage door. It reminds me to take library books back and remember to bring my canvas grocery sacks. There are also hooks right by the door too, so I can grab and go!

Thank you for hosting the organizing round-up every month. It’s keeping me honest. :)
I’m terrified of my entrance way…Oh the HORROR! If you could only see it…you would know what I mean. I don’t think I’m going to be able to participate in this roundup. We’re waiting to get through a financial “birth canal”. As soon as that’s over, we’ll be redecorating, and that’s the room I’m starting with. Too bad for me to have to miss out on this great opportunity, but it will be wonderful to start that organization journey. Thank you for your site, and all the wonderful tips here. I’ve really grown to appreciate it!

I so wanted to join in on this one but my month has totally gotten away from me. Trying to organize an 18 year old’s move totally consumed me. Sigh. Maybe I’ll do it later in September but I’ll sure go look at what everyone else has done and maybe get some good ideas!
Love this site! I love all the great ideas you give all month to keep us motivated!
Man, I knew there was a reason I was going to get to that hall closet project last weekend! I missed out on the roundup! Well, I’m going to work on it this coming weekend anyway. I’ve been waiting to get “the perfect hooks”, but I guess I need to get started without them! Progress over perfection!
Hey gals, feel free to link up anytime before Sunday at 3:00 pm PST. Thanks!
I can’t wait to see everyone else’s mudrooms! we are moving next week, and I’m considering doing a “mud closet” at the new house…we’ll see. But for now, mine is a “mock mudroom” in our basement entryway. :)
@Lara@ Learning to Live, Love, and Laugh:
Your blog is private, I couldn’t go see your hard work. :( Let us know if you change permissions so we can see what you did!
Hope you don’t mind but I posted my closet picture you have already seen. I am still a work in progress with my scrapbook desk and other gargantuan problems. Thanks.
Thanks for these round-ups. They really do help. Mine is posted and linked.
I totally love this website. I have wonderfully organized closets but have trouble with keeping the main rooms clutter-free and organized. I’m gaining new ideas here. My biggest problem is that I can overlook the clutter but it has to be organized when it goes in the closet. Have you heard of anyone as weird as me? Am I totally nuts? I know it’s backwards and want the rooms people see to remain clean. I guess I’m just a work in progress. Anyway, love this blog and I’ll keep coming back!
Sorry Laura. I linked up here first by mistake for MPM!
Didn’t pay attention to the time on Sunday, so I’m just now linking up. Too bad! But it’s good I didn’t see it because I hadn’t even started at 3 today! I really needed to get it done!
Oh….I’m going to take notes on your menu this week…it sure looks good!!!
Thanks again for doing this project, I’ve completely changed my menu becuase of stuff I’ve found on here.

[...] 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. [...]
