Do you have a mudroom?

[dcgrumpy]

Yes but it's more like a mud closet, it's really small. We just have 2 coatracks on the wall, one for kids and one for us, the shoes go on the floor. We also have an enclosed sun porch, we're getting a bench and coat rack for in there once DH is done remodeling.

Ours is actually a large laundry room as well. It has 3 doors, one to the garage, one to the kitchen, and one out to the patio in the backyard. In addition to the washer and dryer, we have a huge 8-foot closet just for our coats, another small closet for the vacuum cleaners, mops, brooms, etc, and then 2 very large built in floor-to-ceiling cabinets where I store all my cleaning supplies, huge soup pots, iron, laundry detergent, and a ton of other stuff.
