Focus: Mudrooms

Yes, it's still July. But before we know it, it will be fall and back to school for the kiddos. That means backpacks, sports equipment and muddy shoes. If you are determined to stay organized this year and keep the clutter to a minimum, consider a mudroom! You don't have to add onto your house to achieve this space. You can use part of the garage, the front entry or even an existing coat closet! Here is a great article explaining the different routes you can go as well as the pros and cons:
