I'm going to Ikea today to change my "mud room". You did such a great job making this storage simple and classy. Thanks! I was also thrilled to see the playroom; it gave me inspiration to get it done. In a world where most storage ideas are ugly plastic that look cheap or too expensive Pottery Barn you've given the rest of us moms something affordable and nice to work with.

We are always going to local auctions and garage sales. I am going to keep my eye out for something that will work in this space. Our oldest is starting pre-k this year, and we need a place to keep her backpack and other school related items and keep them out of the reach of little sister. And I think my husband and I could use this too for keys and wallet and purse.
