Mudroom Update - Building Cubbies
6 Materials
This mudroom has been the bane of my existence from the moment we moved in to this house because it was never really planned out. In a hurry to move in = mudroom not really on the top of the “list” and stuff just gets thrown in there. What we needed was some serious organization and to make the most of this small space.
We started by adding a window to let in some much needed light.
Then we build the cubbies out of MDF. We thought that this would help keep everyone's stuff separated and neat.
Someone gave us some pieces of tongue and groove flooring they had leftover from a project they had done so we used it for the top of the bench and inside the cubbies. It’s great because it has a coat of sealer on it so a wet coat won’t hurt it.
So far, so good. 🙂 I primed the MDF and then gave it a couple of coats of paint. The first color was way to bright green. I went with this greenish/gray but may change it to gray by the time we are done.
It turned out exactly like I had hoped and works really well for us! We each have our space and now the kiddos know where their stuff belongs and, more importantly, where to find it when they are looking for it.
