OK, I’ll admit it. I like to hang with the ‘who’s who’ in the home organization/closet industry. And it’s not only to rub elbows with the best of the best. It’s also to learn what’s hot and what’s not.

And most importantly – it’s also to learn ‘what works, what doesn’t work, and what’s designed to work better for YOU now than last year. Because, after all – you can have the most trend-setting closet since Khloe Kardashian…

Your mudroom is a disaster. Your spouses’ shoes thrown everywhere. The kid’s backpacks tossed in all corners of the room. Amazon packages here, there and everywhere. And the poor coat hooks have waaaay too many coats on them. These hooks are gonna blow off the wall any day now!

And unfortunately, this is THE ROOM you ‘get to’ walk through after a long day at the office. So – instead of being ‘welcomed home’ by an organized mudroom, you’re…

When you think about your mudroom what words come to mind? Is it neat, organized, everything’s in its place? Or do the words ‘blown-apart’ come to mind? Are you looking at piles of shoes, book bags, sports duffle bags and packages waiting to be put ‘somewhere’ in a jumbled mess?

If your life resembles most people who are ‘attempting’ to keep your head above water raising kids, working AND trying to keep your home at least ‘somewhat’…

It’s fun scrolling through Pinterest looking at glamour closets of stars like Khloe Kardashian. How cool would it be to have a room dedicated to your shoe, purse or jewelry collection (even if you’re jewelry is more costume than real)?
