Mudroom {Revealed} and DIY Pillows
Cleared the decks and began fresh:
Painted some stripes and inserted decorative storage baskets {Target $9.99} into the cubbies:
Made a no-sew bench seat and added a mirror {Hobby Lobby- $25 on sale}:
2. Sew your stitches leaving a 6-inch opening to insert the stuffing, trim the excess fabric.
3. Turn the fabric right-side out and stuff the pillow full being mindful of lumps.
4. Pin the final opening and handstitch closed while watching Top Chef.
After adding a few more pillows, our mudroom now looks like this:
And because I love a good “before” and “after”:
Now that’s a space I’m happy to come home to! Have a great weekend y’all! I’ve got fall decor on my mind for the weekend, hmmm . . . .
Great transformation! Lots of pattern and texture.
So cute! Looks great. By the way, Tatertots and Jello has a great tute on an envelope style pillow covers. It'll take you 15 minutes tops! I love it!
You did so great on those pillows! The room looks fab!
I love your stripes.

I'm in love! This is darling. I'm really liking the contrast of the white with the warm tones of the baskets too – balancing it all out. Lovely. Do you think the kids will hang up their stuff??
