I've been hard at work getting all of the boxes out of this house! I'm focusing on unpacking right now and just getting items in the right rooms. Then when every box is unpacked I'll start organizing everything. I'm guessing that will be right on time for the new year. ;)
Today I'm sharing another room I'm putting on the "done" list -- and it's one of our favorite rooms in the house. (If you missed the powder room, check it out!) When we walked in for the first time when the house was just studs, (just to look -- you know how that went), we knew this room off the garage had to be a mud room of some sort but it was big. We were like, what IS this glorious space?
And then we found out it was a laundry/mud room combo and I was all...SOLD. 😂 It's funny because if you've followed me for years you know I absolutely hated our mud room/laundry combo in the old house. I moved our laundry to the basement so we could have a proper mud room and it was one of the best things I ever did there.
So the thought of the combo again gave me pause, but with the size I knew it could be awesome. Since we were so early in the build I got to pick the layout and added a large closet (that will get it's own post). It took me awhile to decide on placement of everything because I wanted to get it right. I knew we'd have some built ins and cabinets, the closet and a folding table. I had to decide where I wanted it all and this is what we ended up with:
I originally wanted to put the washer and dryer on the left of the room as you walk in from the garage, but it just wasn't the most functional layout. We went with three cubbies instead of four with this plan but we don't need more anyway.
I found the perfect spot for my DIY it's good to be home sign! You can see how I made it for super cheap at that link.
I got the fabric baskets at the top of the built ins at HomeGoods and the baskets at the bottom were from Target years ago:
