My boyfriend and I moved to Denver from New Orleans in the fall. Needless to say, it was a drastic change of climate! We started collecting snow hats, scarves, gloves, etc.--all of which we had no need for in Louisiana. These items kept getting left in random places around the house. Before you know it, I'd find one left-hand glove in the living room, and one right-hand glove in the closet. It was getting out of control. We needed an organization solution, and we needed one fast. That's when we dreamt up these beautiful DIY Mudroom Storage Crates! It's a simple way to add a bit of storage to your front room, while also keeping it stylish.
