I mentioned before how our laundry room is also our mudroom, in fact I had to take the pictures of the laundry room from the garage, I even had to sit on Lee's car to get "the shot". :)
So you've seen the laundry side of the room, here's the mudroom side: (that's the door to the garage)
The two number hooks were a $3 homesense find, they are the perfect spot to hang our keys or a dog leash, and the definitely the perfect spot to hang our door stop.
I am loving that bench! We are desperately trying to find one for by our back door to replace a wobbly non-efficient one, but most are too long for our space. Love the addition of the hooks as well. I so need a door stop like that! Great idea.
ReplyDeleteYou have made such a pretty and efficient space! Our old house had a similar laundry room setup, so I KNOW the challenges of this space and the absolute need for serious function. You brought it home girlfriend!
ReplyDeleteLove it :)
ReplyDeleteAshli, forgot to ask...do you know the name of the bench from Ikea?
ReplyDeleteHahah, I laughed at your door stop comment!
ReplyDeleteWhat's your secret for getting Lee to make all these things for you? My hubby is very handy but would rather work on more macho projects that cute stuff for the house.
ReplyDeleteI used to have that same coat rack at my old place! I love the idea of hanging the door stop. Not exactly something I can do in my house right now since my door stop is a very heavy but small OLD-fashion iron, LOL! Maybe someday!
ReplyDeleteYour new mudroom area is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteWe just added some function to our laundry room a month or 2 back and I love it! We have hooks for coats and hooks for keys along with places for paper. =)
Genius! Never crossed my mind about a door stop that hangs, so it is out of the way until it is needed. Going to have my hubby make two of them for me. If he can't maybe I can pay you for them?

ReplyDeleteWe own the same coat rack from Ikea & I really like how well that bench goes with it. Can I ask the name of the bench from Ikea? I tried to do a search but didn't find that one on their site. Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, it's fantastic! I am also just redoing our mud room/laundry room (check my blog!) and like yours, ours has a door to the garage. It's a pity that it's the law here in Germany that we have to have those ugly metal doors between house and garage for safety reasons... I really don't know how to beautify that ...
ReplyDeleteI LOVE (and will copy) your door stop solution, it's so simple, but I couldn't have thought of that myself. Ours is always on the floor behind the door and gets lost sometimes between my laundry baskets ...

I have the same coat rack in my apartment. Love the size of your bench...its the perfect size...would love to know more about it. Thanks for posting.
ReplyDeleteDana- FOOD!!! haha I we exchange food for household labor!! ;)
ReplyDeleteThe Herlings-
ReplyDeleteMaybe we'll get into the door stop mak'in business :)
Jule- We have the same law here metal doors between the garage and house!! I agree it's not the most attractive thing to look at!
ReplyDeleteGood luck on your laundry redo I'm on my way to check it out now!
It looks great! I'm trying to talk my landlord into re-imbursing us if we remodel a few things (like the laundry room, which is the first things guests see). Good thing my mother-in-law is the apt office manager! This gives me a few ideas... ;)
ReplyDeleteYou have no idea, I'm so jealous of your whole laundry room/mud room area!!! Everything looks completely fantastic!
ReplyDeleteDid you know the best security for a woman traveling alone in a hotel room is an old fashioned rubber door stop! It IS! No one can get in even with a key -- a friend was napping one day and someone came in his hotel room to rob him -- the maid had sold the key! (It wasn't in the US) So your man Lee is keeping you safe too! :)
ReplyDeleteYou are way too funny .......... "sitting on Lee's car in order to get the shot" I can just picture it. You are such a talented girl!!! I had no idea that Ikea sells that bench? Those hooks are very cool!
ReplyDeleteMy goodness. You even make doorstops look good!
ReplyDeleteYour laundry room is very inspiring! I am wanting to get ours done too. When we built our house they didn't add cabinets and hubby didn't want a laundry tub, which now he is regretting. So, we are pulling up linoleum and adding putting tile on the floor. We want to add a sink base and a drop in laundry tub as well as cabinets above the washer and dryer. Ours is tiny too. I think I would have to sit on the car in the garage to get some pics too! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm really liking that bench. I can see it in our home too. Do you remember the style name of it so I can check it out in person too??
ReplyDeleteSo Sorry ,
ReplyDeleteI know that they don't carry it any longer, we bought it over a year ago and it was on clearance then.
The name of the bench is ALVE, I was thinking you might have some luck on Craigslist!
Good luck!!!
Sorry I couldn't be more helpful!
Lots of Love
Ashli
Your new mudroom area is so pretty!
