Gearing up for the New Year...

I had an epiphany tonight!  My mudroom is totally lacking functionality.  I need more wall space for cubbies and hooks, but all I have is this ginormous closet with double sliding doors.  There was a time in my life when I would have given my eye teeth for a closet like this, when I lived in a house with no storage...but then that house GOT storage and now I'm a big fat snob about it.  Our new house could pretty much kick the can of our old house, and yet I sit here stewing while trying to devise solutions to storage problems that drive my sanity to the movies.

So back to the mudroom.  I tuck ideas away as I find them, so that someday, when I can put them to use, I have them available.  The trick is to REMEMBER them when the time is right.  And an idea I bookmarked back in 2008 appeared in my mind tonight.  And the TIME is RIGHT!!!

The idea is this gorgeous closet redo by Wendy from the Shabby Nest blog.  And if I didn't have a plane to catch  in a few hours, I would be tearing the doors of my closet right now.

Now that I've got the idea in my head, rampant Googling has begun!  There are others out there, and I will find them, and then I will take all their good ideas and morph them in to a sanity saver for 2011.

To quote my 8 year old mad scientist wannabe...

MWA HA HA HA HA!
