[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look on Pinterest for mini mudrooms. We have a small cost closet but never used it because it was behind the front door and also we're lazy. We had a coat rack but it always looked messy and it cluttered our already tight entryway, which was basically just part of our small living room. We had this awkward alcove next to the stairs and did something kind of like this: http://iheartorganizing.blogspot.ca/2013/03/reader-space-mini-mudroom-makeover.html?m=1

We also bought an Ikea Expedit for keys, work bags and badges,, change, and baskets to catch shoes, mail, umbrellas, random junk. It looks a lot better. We'll probably have to lose the Expedit to sell the house, but it makes the space look less like a drop zone.

Word from the wise, real-life mudrooms never look like the pictures, because they don't have actual coats on the hooks![/quote]

You could do this if you were single. Or maybe if you were a single parent with an older child.[/quote]

We are a family of 3, plus dog, and put in 5 larger double hooks. That plus a basket under the bench (which has also has an air vent under it), the bench itself, and the Expedit (4 cubbies for bags, 4 for baskets for shoes, junk, leashes, etc.), our entry way rarely looks messy. Our little one is a toddler and has a lot of stuff....more than the rest of us combined! You can customize this to the space you have.[/quote]
