Closet to Mudroom

I love when closets become new fun spaces - little rooms like my cloak room makeover and Gwenny Penny's sewing/craft space featured earlier in the week.  Take a look at Amy from The Mistress of Oxford's closet turned entryway mudroom!

Before:


They have a row of three closets on one wall. They needed a functioning space in the entryway so they retiled for the space, took the doors off and made a half wall. They relocated the light switch for a pass through and the closet turned mudroom/entryway was born. 




See all of the progress at the Mistress of Oxford Part I and Part II.



THE DETAILS
Antique leaded window = $40
(We installed 3 individual hooks)
Entryway bench = $75 KohlsWicker baskets = $20 ($10/basket) Pier OnePillow = $12 HomeGoodsRug = $15 HomeGoodsLetter "S" (pictured above) = $6 HomeGoods


Cast iron hook = $15 Elements (Local décor store)


Keyholder = $8 HomeGoods (This is on the wall next to the entryway)


Don't you love it?! When there's 3 closets in a hallway, what a great idea to make one into a functional entryway space to put on shoes, hang keys and store a purse or backpack!  Great idea and beautiful job, Amy!  Thank you so much for sharing!  It really makes a beautiful change - lightening and opening up the area.  Love the bench and decor too!
