We also keep keys, sunglasses and other entryway clutter in the little drawers of the table. I bought a wire basket and designated it the “shoe basket” and I have successfully trained my kids to put their shoes in the basket upon walking in the house. I bought a cute little side table at HomeGoods that had a nice shelf on the bottom. Our back door is our main entry, so I knew that setting a shoe drop zone up here would help to keep me sane. One things that drives me batty is when my kids come inside and just toss their shoes on the floor by the door. Here I will use magnets to keep school announcements or calendar in view. I considered making the hooks lower so the kids could hang the backpacks themselves, but they’re still young enough to want to play with their backpacks or stuff them with random toys so I decided the higher the better! I also hung an antique spoon/ladle hanger to use as a memo board. So, I installed a set of hooks where I will keep my kids backpacks hung up. For me, the laundry room is a pretty central location in our house. I have found that a good set of wall hooks and a memo board goes a long way to keeping me organized. Sadly, the house we ended up buying does not have a mudroom so I have had to come up with some clever ways to create functional, organized, kid-friendly drop zones, especially now that school is about to start! Here are some of my favorite ways to accomplish the functionality of a mudroom without the actual room: I love how functional mudrooms are and I love that they help to corral kid clutter in one space (that you can close the door on when company comes over!). When we were house hunting back in March, one thing I really, REALLY wanted in our new home was a mudroom. Today, I’m so happy to have Cheyenne back with us sharing some awesome drop zone ideas for busy families! And don’t forget to scroll all the way down for shopping sources and where to find unique farmhouse items for your own family drop zone spaces □ We’re continuing our month of getting our mudrooms and entryways organized for back to school.
