DIY Mud Room Part 3: DIY Mudroom Lockers

January 26, 2021Building Projects, DIY Woodworking

<< DIY Mud Room Part 1: DIY Mudroom Bench

<< DIY Mud Room Part 2: Adding Mudroom Locker Cabinets

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.

DIY Built-in Shelving

January 7, 2021DIY Woodworking

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 bought two 2x12 runners and then cut the ends at a 45° angle and joined the seams with carpet joining tape for the turn (step by step in ‘stair runner’ highlight)
❇️ I have a rug pad cut into strips and attached with carpet tape to each tread under the runner, and the runner is attached with a staple gun- all of these also linked in my @liketoknow.it which can be found in my bio under shop my pictures
