1970 home renovation
custom-built shelf by the side door
One of the downsides to taking down the walls in the kitchen is that we lost the “mud room” area. It was small, but it at least provided a landing area for shoes and such that was hidden from view. But, I felt like the light and space we would gain was a good trade, so the walls came down. I thought initially I would add a piece of furniture along the wall by the side door as a place to tuck shoes, drop keys, and hang bags, but it would block the traffic path much more than I thought. So, I decided to shift gears and build a shelf to define a bit of a “landing area.” Of course, it’s still in the kitchen and in full view, so it’s not a place to hang everything people bring in the door. The boys will still keep their backpacks in
