Mudroom makeover: Before and after photos
June 26th, 2010
Before: This is the closet in our small laundry room, which is attached to our garage. It is a very small room – too small for four doors.
The inside was a hodge podge of stuff. Not much organization, just a shelf and a rod.
The other side of the room has the washer and dryer in it. And also becomes a dumping ground for things we want to remember to grab on our way out – such as that pot I needed to take back.
After: Our carpenter turned the ordinary closet into a mudroom, complete with four lockers (one for each of us), plenty of hooks, cubbies to place sunglasses, wallets, etc., cubbies for baskets and a bench to sit down at to put on shoes, which are stored beneath. It is great to have a place to put the many bags, jackets and random stuff we bring home everyday. And now when Steve has something I don’t know where to put, I just throw it in his basket. I think it’s helping me to remember everything to take with me too. I just throw everything into one of the bags that’s always there.
The laundry side looks cleaner now too that I don’t put any junk over there. And I love the new paint color. A little lighter and brighter in there.
The key hooks finish the room and I added a great picture of the girls that Steve took. I just converted it to black and white and printed it off at home too – and grabbed a frame I had at work for it. So that detail was free! I think this may be my favorite room in the house now. And it’s the smallest!

Looks awesome!!! Can’t wait to see in person. Love it!!
This is amazing!! I love nothing MORE than organization. If I were you, I would be walking by this area hourly just to absorb the beauty of it.
That’s an awesome mudroom. What a great idea to convert that space into a usable, multifunctional room. I love it!
That was a great idea!
i just found this mudroom makeover while doing a google search on converting closets into mudrooms because i think i have the EXACT same space that you have and want to do the same thing! i have a carpenter coming over tomorrow to give me an estimate… can you give me an idea of how much your carpenter charged you so that i know if i’m getting ripped off or not?? thanks so much!
Hi, Just found your beautiful mudroom closet and wanted to say thanks for the inspiration! Hope you are still loving it and enjoying the space!!!!
