Beyond the Basics - mudrooms and entryways

This storage solution is a great one whether you have hats and gloves, keys, sunglasses, mail, or something else you need to keep track of when you come in or leave your house. By adding two small planks of wood and screwing on some baskets (metal or another type without holes to hold smaller items) you add storage and a neat way to contain the items that are easily tossed around or misplaced. If you have younger children, install it horizontally and lower on the wall so everyone can reach.

Another variation would be to install a towel rack or a curtain rod and use hanging baskets.
