Here's an older post I wrote about how I solved my problem.<br /><br />http://becca-homeiswheremystorybegins.blogspot.com/2011/07/when-you-dont-have-mud-room.html<br /><br />By the way, I'm a kindergarten teacher and wrote a free ebook on kindergarten readiness. It's available on my blog. I also write a kindergarten blog and a literacy blog if you're interested. They can all be found at www.homeiswheremystorybegins.com.<br /><br />Love your room and good luck with kindergarten!<br /><br />BeccaBecca Rosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08848398486925857953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-17923934634625978452012-07-30T11:50:50.562-04:002012-07-30T11:50:50.562-04:00AMEN.

I have a laundry room/mudroom, MY family lines up single file to enter the house, MY laundry makes it look constantly messy, and there IS no room for all our shoes, coats etc. However, I don't have a basement so I don't have your option.

We even have a dog bed for our Shih Tzu and his bowls and food under the bench. It does have a tendency to get junked up, but I just have to keep after it. You're really going to love it!Peggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01299717057455588356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-84870595607748868122012-07-30T09:49:49.762-04:002012-07-30T09:49:49.762-04:00I can only imagine the excitement of a dedicated m...I can only imagine the excitement of a dedicated mudroom. Our current house has one entrance - it is all the same entrance for the guests and for us. With 7 people living here, it is NEVER tidy. BUT we are currently building our dream home and it not only has its only laundry room (7' x 8.5') it also has a HUGE mudroom (9'x15') and I cannot wait to see how much easier it will make our life. I just need to figure out what type of lockers to make. I will be watching your room to see what you do.Chantelle - ThousandSquareFeethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06305927922846880598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-38460820682220836612012-07-30T09:45:20.260-04:002012-07-30T09:45:20.260-04:00I have a mud room/laundry room, and no basement to...I have a mud room/laundry room, and no basement to move anything to, but you have got me thinking ...Fatcathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10687367589610368444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-13214822167025751122012-07-30T09:25:29.749-04:002012-07-30T09:25:29.749-04:00I can't believe it!!

We also JUST (last week) moved our laundry to the basement...took it out of the mudroom area (YES!) People all thought I was nuts but I love it out of the entry area!! I made a really great laundry space with tons of hanging space--looooove it! I now have tons of storage in my mud room which my house was seriously lacking. (WE used mega Expedits from IKEA--amazing!!!)but haven't figured a bench as of yet. it is so new we haven't even hung the coat hooks (also from IKEA) i am LOVING my new basement...it is fab! I have never submitted any pics on anything like htis but if you ever do a basement submission day i think i would!! PS--Even more ironic--I worked relentlessly wiht my contractor on how to figure for a laundry chute...it just wasn't possible from any convenient location..I am mega jealous of that feature!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
