With three children , ranging in age from 17 to 7, plus a large ranch full of mud, snow, cow manure and dust, Laurie needed some place to put boots, hats, coats and gloves near the back door. It started out that I was going to help Clint, her husband, build this unit, however that didn’t happen so I finally just did it. It’s mostly just Alder faceframes and Birch plywood. The coat boards are Alder. All finished with a colonial Maple stain and Poly top coat. When I installed it I screwed the two pieces together and to the wall. The gloves and caps go in the chest. The photos are a little wierd because of the narrow hallway.

Nice work, Thos, and a very practical project.
Homes in Australia tend not to have coat cupboards near the entrance doors. That’s probably because we seldom need to wear winter clothes, so do not need to remove outer winter garments when entering a home. The idea of a “mud-room” is certainly not something I’ve come across in city homes – it may be different in rural areas.

Hi Thomas;
Great job!
Does “Alder” stuff fit in there. That’s a joke for those of you that may have missed it!

Nice job Thomas. Here in Louisiana we don’t have a lot of need for a coat and boot storage area – but we sure need someplace to hang the raincoats, rubber boots and umbrellas.

Gosh Lee I’ll bet by now there’s a lot of “Alder” stuff in there. Probably soom vet supplies like needles and syringes, calf boluses for scours, and maybe a kitty cat sleeping. I just realized that only one of these phots is weird because of being in the hall, the others are weird because of the photographer.

Practical project. Thanks for posting. I need to do something similar outside our entry door in the garage. Thanks!
