[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Trying to decide whether to create a small mudroom/entry area, and wondering whether folks feel like having one is worth it?  What do you have there?  What features are most useful?  Are there things you thought you'd use/appreciate that it turns out you actually don't really?  Are there things about yours that don't work well or you wish were different?  Any tips on layout?

(Extra-appreciated if you share the ages of your kids and give insight on what's needed/helpful/annoying in a mudroom when you have school-age kids and/or teens...)[/quote]

I've had 2 and kids were pre K and elementary when each began it's use. Love the mud and what you do depends on the square footage and dimensions plus where the doors or openings are to outside/inside.

Won't need a  bench when they are older.  Use free standing plus solid wood free standing shelving.  No drawers - debris easier to deal with from a shelf. Do double runs of hooks staggered so little people can use them. Carpenters used solid wood [painted same white as trim] and attached to studs in the walls.

Prior mud area was small square with closet and 3 ft built in bench - double row hooks above.  [/quote]
