I built my own mudroom bench using plywood pieces and a pine top. It turned out amazing, I was able to get the perfect size I needed, and it cost thousands less than buying custom cabinetry. I love this open bottom bench because it is easy to clean underneath, has maximum height for storing taller boots, shoes can be easily slid underneath, and it is easy and inexpensive to build.

As I had shared yesterday, our front room used to be a catch-all. It was the first thing you saw as you entered our home and one I tried to mentally block every time I walked by. I finally decided enough was enough, and that we needed a change for this room. So, I drew […]
