Our house has a small entryway and so there always seemed to be an overabundance of coats, vests, boots, backpacks and shoes. Our office, also at the entrance, was looking very cluttered. I can’t even show you a “before” picture; it’s too embarrassing. We are in the process of putting in new floors and converting it into a mudroom/office ourselves. It’s not close to being done yet but I just want to give you a sneak peek at one of the ideas that we had – these beautiful DIY lockers for kids.
We bought the Lappland from Ikea for $179.00. This unit works well for us because our office is just 10 X 10 feet and we need room for two desks in it too. Another option is the Kallax if you want a lower profile unit.
We didn’t put on the second long shelf along the bottom and instead used it as one of the dividers. Gary bought some more wood and hooks from Home Depot and now the kids have individual lockers for their backpacks and coats! A piece of baseboard runs along the back to allow for more hooks.
Once the room is completed, I will buy new matching baskets as the flooring will be grey tiles. For now, I’m just using what we have.
Although a custom built unit would be lovely, this definitely works for $230.00 and our skill level. I love organization!
Hope you are having a wonderful day.
Love,
Louise

**Update: One thing I would add is an additional row of lower hooks in Nya’s cubby as she can’t reach the upper ones yet. Below you can the new baskets and flooring**

We had no luck getting pregnant for over 12 years ….. Before my husband saw comments on Parents, referred us to marvelspelltemple @gmail. com We liked Dr Muna right away with his straight forward personality and positivity. Earlier before we met with Dr Muna I had endometriosis. Endometriosis had damaged my ovaries/eggs. We did surgery for my endometriosis and were not successful getting pregnant with IVF, however miscarried due to a chromosomal abnormality. After a couple more tries at egg retrieval, we decided to go with Dr. Muna Infertility Spell that made us conceived our first child. We decided to go for another Dr. Muna Infertility Spell, we got pregnant again and on July 6th, 2018, our second child was born! Marvel Spell Temple were so helpful during our times together. Dr. Muna always made an emotionally difficult situation a little easier with the care and support we received. Dr. Muna has a great sense of humor which lightens the tough times of infertility spell and is extremely caring. We could not of found a better spell caster. We felt very fortunate to have been directed to marvelspelltemple @g mail. com to help us through the difficulties and then success of making our little family.
