As I was putting all of our winter coats, hats and scarves away for the season (finally!), I realized I never really shared this little "mudroom" area except for a quick peek when it was decorated for Christmas a few years ago. So while the mountains of coats are off the hooks and you actually have a great view of the hooks and bench, I thought it was the perfect time to share. We don't actually have a mudroom in this house, and as much as I would love one, it may not ever happen. ... Read More about Makeshift mudroom reveal + storage ideas

But it's like a million dollars to have all of the door frames reframed so that new doors would fit (the doors themselves aren't that much!), so that's probably never happening.
