Remember my mudroom renovation?
I was in my favorite store, Home Goods, when I came across these benches last week. They caught my eye because they were the right size, had a tufted top, beautiful fabric...
and nailhead trim. But that wouldn't be enough for me to change out the benches. What really sealed the deal was...
...they are storage ottomans.
The mudroom is not huge, so any opportunity for extra storage needs to be seized. At $50 each I just couldn't leave them. They had to come home with me.
2 kids plus all their stuff + 2 storage ottomans = the perfect mudroom benches.
Don't you love when you find something so perfect when you didn't even set out to find it? I love my new ottomans. What do you think?

I Love them too....I've been looking for the same type of storage for the girls shoes in the entry...problem is, my entry is very small so need a very shallow ottoman...they look lovely...beautiful storage!!!
xo, Mariaelena
Love them!! I also love that rug and have been eyeing it for ages!! Your mudroom area looks wonderful given the whole transformation and the addition of the new ottomans. I love when you find that perfect something even when you arent looking for it...I especially love when it comes at a good price!! :)
I love these in the room so much more! Great idea and perfect storage. Space is a premium so these worked out great. Love the color and pattern with the rug.
I love them, Judy! I may have to make a trip to Home Goods {haven't been in a month or so}. I can't believe they were $50.00. I usually expect to see a minimum $79.-$89.00 on something like this from them.
Your mudroom looks great! I love the fabric on the benches, the rug and the walls are gorgeous!

Those are just beautiful Judy! That fabric could not work more perfectly in there. I use 2 storage benches placed back to back as a "coffee table" in our family room and love having the extra space for games and stuff. Now, if only Home Goods would come a bit closer to me! :-)

They are wonderful and the storage is such an extra bonus. Great fabric and color also. Love them. Hugs, Marty
I love it! I really wish I had an entryway like this in my house, because I would love to do something like this!
Just what is needed in a mudroom. Great storage AND great looks, too!
=)
They look great. Love the added storage they provide. Great find.
That HomeGoods is just....great.:) But those snow gloves have got to go!!!! lol Replace those with flip flops and swim suits for the summer!! (Just having fun)
LOVE the new benches!
Love them! And I cannot get over the "before" pix. Whoa wallpaper. Nice work (on the new finds and the room!)
I adore Home Goods! Your ottomans/benches look great!
Oh I love those! The extra storage is definitely worth purchasing them..besides their cuteness! Just so you don't feel singled out Blogger went down for EVERYONE and I mean everyone. It was a fiasco for two days. Hey, when you get a chance check your email for one from us. :) Have a beautiful week sweet Judy!

They are awesome! I have a storage ottoman in my entryway. I'm getting ready to re-cover it and seeing yours gave me the idea to add some nailhead trim. Thanks!
Thanks for linking up to Weekend Warrior!

Your new ottomans are awesome! Love the flexibility of storage and seating to take off your shoes in the mudroom! Thanks so much for sharing with the Pink Hippo Party!
The benches are so great! Perfect place to stash the hats and gloves!

Love the benches and they look so nice with the rug too.
Your mudroom is so pretty. I cannot believe the transformation. I love the beadboard paneling and the benches you found at HomeGoods are perfect! Everyday I wish I had a Home Goods close by...sigh.
