From Hallway to Organized Mudroom

When I saw this party link, I felt like I had entered mudroom heaven.   Check out what Megan of Honey We’re Home did to liven up the hallway entrance from her garage into a functional and beautiful mudroom!
It’s been quite a week for our little mudroom or mud “hallway”.  My goal was to transform this transition space into something a bit cherrier since it’s the way we enter our home from the garage.  We started with this:
Mudroom 003
Cleared the decks and began fresh:
Mudroom 005
Painted some stripes and inserted decorative storage baskets {Target $9.99} into the cubbies:
Mudroom 014
Made a no-sew bench seat and added a mirror {Hobby Lobby- $25 on sale}:
Giraffe, bench, pillows 011  Giraffe, bench, pillows 006Giraffe, bench, pillows 002 
{mirror before a couple of coats of white spray paint}
Bedroom furniture makeover 003
And finally, adorned the bench with a few pillows made from scratch with my brand new sewing machine!  I’ve never sewn before, so this is a new adventure for me.  Be kind. 
HOW TO SEW A PILLOW
I basically followed the tutorial by Janell at Isabella & Max Rooms, except I didn’t use a pillow insert, I used poly stuffing.  And although I did iron my fabric before sewing, I didn’t iron the seams. 
1.  Lay the fabric inside out, use chalk to make an outline for where to sew, and secure with straight pins.
Giraffe, bench, pillows 028   Giraffe, bench, pillows 017 Giraffe, bench, pillows 018
2.  Sew your stitches leaving a 6-inch opening to insert the stuffing, trim the excess fabric.
 Giraffe, bench, pillows 020 Giraffe, bench, pillows 021   Giraffe, bench, pillows 022
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:
bench pillows 010
bench pillows 009
bench pillows 013 
And because I love a good “before” and “after”:
 BEFORE
Mudroom 005
AFTER
bench pillows 011
 bench pillows 015
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 . . . .
Aren’t we all dreaming of a space like this for our own houses? I know I have it on my dream house list!  What about you?  What is your favorite part about the space?
