More decluttering going on around here. This week’s challenge was for the “mud room”. Well, we don’t have a mud room… just our
entryway.
And it’s not a very big entry at that! Not much to do here! Himself keeps his walking stick in the corner
to the right of the door (he was out walking so that is why it is not
there). The stone is from Alaska and it
our door stop.
We do have a bit of room for this tiny shelf to help
organizing and a mirror for a quick look before we answer the door!
The key bowl is an antique from the farm Himself grew up
on. No more “where’s my keys?” around
here! And the horse shoe ‘fish’ was made
by a blacksmith friend – it keeps my lists from blowing until I get out the
door.
(Sorry for the wonky picture – not enough space to back up
to get the whole thing at once so I had to knit 2 shots together). We repurposed the coat closet for general
storage as there just isn’t enough storage area in our house. I added shelves and the roll out cart to
maximize what I had to work with. It
functions as extra kitchen storage and utility storage.
These shelf extenders from The Container Store have given us
even more useable space.
Adding hooks to the bottom of the shelf got the mugs up and
out of the way. I added a shelf up high
to store roasting pans and other shallow cookware.
On the back of the door are two hooks to keep our aprons on.
Because of the size we have to keep the entry
decluttered. So even tho it is small,
meets our needs well enough.
Very nice and very organized. Now how long will it look being tidy. Ha,ha.
ReplyDeleteI, 2, 3 very classy.
Love your entrance. I have that width myself to the door what you have is door to my Laundry.
Like your stone stopper from Alaska.
I have pictures on the walls like you but you have more. I was going to add more but my hall there is to my bedroom amd craft room and computer room. Unless visitors go down to rooms. Knowone sees pictures.
My from entrance is smaller walls. ihave so much things over my 51 years married.
As we have down sized. Then it is packed away or most given to my daughter.
It pretty much stays this way. It took me about 10 minutes to neaten this time... another 10 minutes to put up the cup hooks.
DeleteYour little entryway reminds me of the one in our tiny apartment. Looks like a sweet place to call home.
