While we button up a couple loose ends – primarily changing out some hardware here and there and finally unpacking the last of our boxes – I’m (to my husband’s horror) looking at what projects are up next to tackle in the new year.
The mudroom is the top of that list. The wrangling of coats, mittens, boots, and hats for my kids is a marital stress test every morning. It doesn’t help that our dog likes to play hide and seek with our shoes. I sometimes wonder if he enjoys sitting back watching us run around like maniacs three minutes before we’re supposed to leave.

While we have a coat closet off the entry, the mudroom is where I see our kids keeping most of their winter gear. I started looking at hall trees that would provide some seating and storage accessible to the kids. We’re trying to get Reggie to be more responsible for keeping track of his things, so hopefully this will help!
