You may know if you’ve been following Simplified Bee on Instagram that I’ve been working on several kids’ playrooms recently. All needed to be functional and organized, yet fun, creative and imaginative.

Getting Organized :: Mudrooms

We are sadly counting down the days until the kids go back to school (yes, we haven’t started yet!). As you know, there is a great deal of preparation that goes into getting children ready for the first days of school. Getting the kids organized also motivates me to tackle other areas of our home and has me dreaming of a room we don’t have. A mudroom. In California, we don’t need a space for snowy boots and over-sized coats, but it sure would be nice to have a drop zone for shoes, backpacks and sporting equipment.

Here are a few organized mudrooms that I’d welcome in my home any day!

Love this hallway mudroom and all the natural light!

Color coding cubbies for family members is a great way to organize a mudroom.

This mudroom’s custom cabinetry features open shelving, drawers and hooks. So beautifully functional!

I really like this mudroom with open shelving and shoe storage on the stone flooring.

Organizing your home too? Remember the first step is to declutter! Conquering clutter isn’t easy, but here’s questions to ask yourself when decluttering.

Happy Organizing!

Home Decor Trend :: Rock On

disclosure: This post contains an affiliate links, which means Simplified Bee receives commission if you make a purchase using this link.

 

Gorgeous stones seem to be popping up everywhere these days! Although not a new home decor trend, quartz,  malachite, amethyst and agate are just some of the natural minerals being featured in furnishings, lighting and accessories. It’s simply stunning how natural rock can be transformed into sleek, beautiful forms that give a space that special touch.
