antique-inspired organized entry

I'm in love with this mudroom plan, especially that charming entryway bench that looks like it could be an antique! Wish my foyer were big enough to fit it. The goal with this space is really all about organization of course, with rows of hooks (a few low enough for little arms to reach) and rolling baskets to store tons of little shoes that can slide under the bench. But of course I couldn't resist adding a bit of prettiness. The plan:


And the room:


As you can imagine, the homeowners are more than eager to get this plan going, and I can't wait to see it either.

I love that bench you picked out! And Dash and Albert rugs are my favorite. They are so durable.

Hi Karen, the bench is from Pottery Barn--not sure if they still have it though!
