Transitioning from school, work,
sporting events and the beach often leaved the entry to your home looking like
a train wreck. People stuff just accumulates over time and everyone, it seems,
contributes to the mayhem - you can either go crazy trying to keep up or you
can create a solution. What better a time to do so then when you/we are
designing your Phoenix Group home? Here are just few ideas for improving your
daily entry experience.

| This is a great setup for any busy family. Everyone has a individual place for caps, keys, wallets, phones etc. For the Caribbean, where we wear fewer coats and gloves I would probably add a couple more drawers and shelves, introducing charging stations for cell phones/iPads and quick access shelves for flip-flops and quick-change outdoor shoes. |

If you have pets this setup is really great. We are all
tired of washing our dogs in the yard and wouldn't it be nice to have a place
to hang wet swimsuits, sandy towels and to wash large items like beach
coolers?

More and more we see the combination of mudroom and laundry
– the real workroom of the home. This is
a really practical space that your friends will never actually see, and if
they do will envy more than the great living room!
|

This also really works. It is great to have a spot to sit
and put on your shoes, a drawer for the “Quickshine”, and a drop-off spot for
school backpacks and lunch boxes.

Not a mudroom, but I had to include this pet corner, which
would work well in a utility room like a mudroom. A great spot for the dog
shampoo, combs, food storage and dispenser, leashes, tick treatments etc etc
etc…. It should be a well ventilated space to keep the dog smells from the rest
of the home.
