So it kind of makes sense to invest a little time into it.. Wanna see?.
So finding anything is nearly impossible, if you can even get to the work benches past the bikes, several ride-on lawn mowers, stacks of flooring waiting to be installed and power tools all over the floor.It’s bad.. There’s a little skinny hard-to-get-to cupboard in the house that I was using, but it wasn’t working out so well, and my “house tools” kept mysteriously ending up back in the garage..
I found this old shoe rack in the basement, and you might have one just like it lurking around somewhere.I put it by the door to the mudroom and now everything I need is right there waiting for me on my way outside.The little angled shelves are perfect for grabbing whatever I need quickly and easily.. Terra cotta pots make it even easier to fill er’ up with all my gardening and quick home repair necessities..
So what do we have here?Just the basics.
Stuff I use everyday-ish.
A hammer, tape measure, screw drivers, and wrenches, gardening gloves, a little shovel and some pruners, seeds and fertilizer, and some tie-downs for when we’re taking yard waste to the recycling center.. As I recover more and more useful tools from the garage, I have room for them on my little stand!Sometimes I like to be able to fill up a carafe with water without having to walk.
over to the cupboard.. Why use hooks for coats and hats when you could hang up a little Fall wreath instead?.Well, maybe not about the wreath thing.. Here’s what this area really looks like:.
Even if I try to pretend this little wall of hooks is just like my dream mudroom, it just doesn’t work.. And that’s just fine.Having this little area to put all of our ugly, brightly colored, real-life things really does make our lives easier.
