[quote=Anonymous]Just finished a renovation and I was almost as excited about the mudroom as I was about the kitchen. We have 2 boys, 11 and 15. Both play soccer, swim, ski, bike, etc. I have a wall of shelves for shoes and a wall of just hooks for backpacks, jackets, towels etc. I chose to eschew the customary bench and lockers because in our house, the bench immediately becomes an unruly pile of hoodies, mail, and backpacks. Also, it is uncomfortable to sit with your back against the hanging coats and backpacks, and you can never fit as many people on the bench at the same time as you would think.

Instead, I placed a couple of stools for the kids to use that stay empty. I have a large storage closet off the mudroom that I turned into the workhorse mudroom and filled the whole thing with the container store closet system. This room has rods for hanging jackets, shelves for helmets, towels, out of season shoes, drawers for mittens, hats, ski socks, and a wall of shelves for all the daily stuff we use like sunscreen, band aids, etc. [/quote]
