I have a mudroom. These images are not it. My mudroom, it’s cute. It used to be a porch before it was promoted to mudroom. My mudroom, however, is kind of like a rummage sale, or maybe a sock-hop, "everyone pile their shoes in the middle of the floor!"

It’s cute, like I said, but it takes a LOT of time, effort, and pure teeth gnashing nagging to keep it presentable. No one likes to use coat hangers. The charming baskets of gloves are always on the floor. A person could break a hip tripping over the mountain of boots that spill out into the kitchen.
What we need is lockers. Defined space. Hooks. Confinement. I showed Mr. Wonderful the above images. He hopped right up and headed for the mudroom to figure it out. That’s a good sign. There seems to be no “load bearing wall” nonsense to contend with here. Just a few little old walls, some shelves, maybe hooks?
Call them cubbies. Call them lockers. Call them anything you want but my dream is going out to the Universe. A dream of a place where boots stand tall, gloves are neatly stowed, and coats don’t live on the floor.
