When we moved into our house, the room that I missed most from our previous home was our mud room. Our mud room had been the catch-all of our house, and without one in our current home, it seemed that our kitchen had become the place where everything was dropped: coats, shoes, bags, papers, purses, keys, the works.
Well, after nearly four years I finally have my own make shift mud room! Last summer my husband’s grandmother gave me an antique mirror and I had been desperately trying to find a home for it with no luck whatsoever. Finally I came up with the idea to create a “mud room wall” in our garage, featuring the mirror as the focal point. After a bit of carpentry work by my hubby, a little paint, and a quick visit to an antique mall, the project is complete.
I kept some existing hooks because they were so well fastened to the wall studs, but I needed some extra places to hang all of those coats that seem to accumulate so I used some antique pull-knobs, cabinet latches, a door knob and even a door stop to create a few more “hooks.”
I call my new creation my “Organization Station” 🙂

This looks great! I love that you mixed and matched different hooks. I also like the swirly and quote – is that chalk or paint?
Thanks Becky! The quote and swirly are both paint.

Love all the “little” shoes lined up underneath!! You are so creative!!
This is awesome!!! I have a nightmare garage on the way into my house and no mud room either, this is a great Idea!
So glad you like the idea! It has already helped a great deal with our clutter.
I love this space. Nice work. I have been contemplating my own catch all. Actually was talking to hubby just tonight about the fact that I would require his carpentry expertise. He’s not quite as excited about this project as I am.
The space has already helped with the kitchen clutter a LOT! Good luck with your project!
