This was such a labor of love, and I’m so happy with how the entire project turned out! Creating my own DIY mudroom allowed me to really bring my design to life, and customize all of the nooks and crannies to fit our lifestyle.
This is a recap posts of all of the pieces that brought this mudroom together. Included are a corner bench, cabinets, a locker unit, and a peg rail board and batten wall with wallpaper.

The bench is built, the cabinets are installed, the lockers are done. It’s time to finish the other mudroom wall off with a DIY board and batten with a peg rail top!
This is the perfect detail wall that will really finish off the corner mud room unit, and the addition of the peg rail will add extra space to hang coats, towels and decor.

Now that the bench is built and the cabinets are in, it’s time to build the DIY mudroom lockers! This is my favorite part of this space. When the kids come home from school, they can hang their backpacks, jackets and face masks (yep, writing this during the pandemic) and everything stays organized and easy to find.
Not walking through a pile of jackets and backpacks on the floor make me so happy. Plus, this is a fun building project that is pretty easy and straightforward.
…After building the mudroom bench, it’s time to add the mudroom locker cabinets. The bench serves as the base for the lockers, and the cabinets serve as the top. Reaching the ceiling gives the DIY mudroom build look really custom and finished.
See how easy it is to use stock cabinets as built ins for the locker top!

Organizing closets can go such a long way to keep the storage space in your home functional. A closet without good shelving can instead add to the chaos instead of relieving it. This makes the perfect DIY Woodworking Project for any experience level.
…I love the look of a custom built-in. What really separates a free standing bookshelf from a custom bookshelf to me is the trim work and moulding that is added. We have done a few DIY home projects and this is one of my favorite to date.
This DIY built in shelving project was one that we added in our playroom to maximize storage space for toys and board games. Check out the straightforward process!
…I love the built-in shelving look next to a fireplace in a living room. We had plans to someday hire a contractor for this project, but after further research, I learned that we could make DIY built-ins with stock cabinets. And it was easy!
