Another of those `what am I doing?` projects!

This seems to be a bit of a theme with me. I know it can be done, I have the vision, I have the supplies but then I have to execute the project and I get stuck.
This homeowner needed a mudroom/ garage entryway/ dumping spot but all she had was a large but pretty useless generic closet.
With 3 small kids you know for sure they aren`t hanging coats on a hanger or reaching up to a high shelf to grab their mittens!
This was the space. It sits just inside the door from the garage. A highly trafficked path from car to house.
My first thought was to get rid of the hanging bar altogether, add in some shelves and a bench and we are good.
So this is where I got a little stuck. The ordering, purchasing, building and placing were done and are a great solution but it just looked like a closet with some flat pack furniture added ( which it was) which wasnt the overall look I wanted.
Fast forward a few weeks ( thankful for a patient client) to finally making the trek to Home Depot for supplies, collecting tools and handyman help and finding a day that worked for everyone involved and we finally put the finishing touches in.
This included:
And finally, my vision had come to life.
Is it perfect? No
Is it functional? Yes
Am I going to take on more of these challenges that are totally outside my wheelhouse? Probably!
At the end of the day the client was super happy with the outcome, I learnt some new skills and overcame some challenges and I would like to give my partner in crime and handyman Bill a shout out for helping, teaching and fulfilling this mission with me.
