We took out the coat closet that was right next to the front door, opened it up, and made it into
a mini mudroom (since we didn't have the space for an actual mudroom)
Looking at it today, I can not believe what this nook looked like before we turned it into our own
mini mudroom.
I added the planks and some hooks to define the corner as
a mini mudroom.
I got a rack to hang our shovels and rakes, etc., some shelves, and was able to make
a mini mudroom area in our garage with a coat rack, etc..
