Make-do Mudroom

 

One of the things our house doesn't have is a mudroom -- it's probably the only thing that I'd change about the house. So, with both Madeleine & Harrison being in school full time and Charlotte going a couple of days a week, I needed a way to keep everyone organized. I didn't want to be looking all over the house for backpacks, homework, or daily folders. So, I made us a backpack station at the backdoor and so far it's working out great! 

 I repainted a frame and used burlap behind the glass to create a dry-erase board and embelished it with some burlap flowers I made. I'm planning to use it for daily reminders, good luck notes, etc. I also painted some flowers to go above the hooks to everyone has "their" spot.
