What I have in mind is to convert my cluttered back porch into a well-organized mudroom. And when I say “cluttered,” I'm afraid you will have to take my word for it because I’m too embarrassed to post a photo of it in its current state. I’m also too busy to roll up my sleeves and dive into this project right now, but I have started to compile my mudroom wishlist.
Green is such a calming color, especially compared to the hideous mustard yellow that's on those walls right now.
Along one wall I’d like to install beadboard wainscoting with hooks above for coats and umbrellas and shopping bags.
There will have to be a built-in storage bench, along the lines of this one from This Old House, for stowing footwear and the recycling bin...
…and a shelf over the window, similar to this one I saw on Pintrest.
Finally, I would love to swap the boring old ceiling fixture for something more nature-inspired, like this Whoopsie Daisy chandelier from The Land of Nod. Isn't it pretty?
So, what do you think? Do you have a springtime DIY project in mind? Please share, if you do!

Hi Lee,
I love your remodeling ideas. Green is a calming color. I don't have any projects except to pack up my winter clothes and get my summer clothes ready. The weather is getting warmer here.
Hi Lee. Your new mudroom won't dare to get muddy. I think the built in bench is inspired as it will also provide a place to sit and change shoes. Looking forward to your next book.
Thanks, Tammy! Swapping winter and summer clothing is on my list too!
LOL, Linda! In a perfect world, it won't get muddy. In my world, it's bound to!
I love your ideas. It will look awesome. We are turning our deck into a screened in porch.
Crystal, a screened porch is such a great idea! Wasps are frequent and unwelcome visitors when we eat outside.
