Launching & Landing Pad: My Beloved Bootroom

I understand that the area that you enter and leave your house from
is called the launching pad.  I usually call mine the bootroom. I've been working on mine :)

There was bootroom chaos for most of the day,

but now

there is blissful

organized

peace

in my bootroom.

When we built our house

adding the bootroom was really the

only change we made to

the original plans.

So thankful that

our builder made it happen.

BEFORE: What a mess!!!

 AFTER: still packed full... but organized :)

 Baskets labelled with chipboard letters on card stock from my scrapbooking stash. 

 Flip flops and water shoes are tucked away here. 

 Extra mitts and scarves are stashed here.

 Backpacks and all their "fixings" are contained here :)  I am soooo happy about that.

I purchased these amazing swing hooks from Grandma's Attic Home Parties a few years ago.  Dr. Pepper mounted one high for us and one low for the kids (both mounted in studs).  They hold so much stuff and all the members are able to use them independently!!!

Cost: $0 - I used what I had on hand

AND

 the BONUS GOOD NEWS is that

the boys still fit into their winter boots & snowsuits!

I am looking for some decorative items to jazz things up, but for now I'm happy that everything is clean and in it's home.

Hooray, I can cross one more thing off "ThE LiSt"
