Summertime is here!
Sunblock and bug spray tucked into the basket.
I found these metal pails for only $2.99 each and wrote on them with a dry erase marker.
An aloe plant and a old pieces of coral sit on the top.
I'm thrilled that summer is here and I'm really thrilled that I'm not going to spend my days hunting down beach towels, sidewalk chalk, and sunblock!
Usually withing minutes of going outdoors to play the boys come asking for something. A towel, or some bug spray, or the squirt guns, or.....
Using a little storage shelf, I set up a "Summertime Station" in the mudroom to hold all of these things. Now the things they need for summer play are quick and easy to find. (and organized too!)

Sidewalk chalk and squirt guns in the blue pails.
The boys can grab the entire pail and take it outside when they want to use the chalk.

Great idea. I love it when I come across the exactly perfect organizing idea for exactly the right place in the house.
Love this idea.....now if you can figure out how to get Freezy Pops in those pails...it would be perfect!
Jamie, I crown you "The Queen of Organization"!!! Love it! Will you make housecalls???
Such a cute idea and very user friendly! I love all your functional ideas!
Very nice! I love those $2.99 pails! Where did you find them!?!?
I hope you dont mind but I am borrowing your idea for my laundry room - i love it!
I love it! What a brilliant idea! YOu are so clever! xo
I want a mud room... I'd love to do something like this, but there's nowhere to put it. I wish I could travel back in time and ask the architect of our house what on earth he was thinking...
You know I love this - you make it look so pretty!
What a great idea. It's a little frustrating when they go out to play and then are back in a few minutes needing something. Great job and I love those buckets.
WOW aren't you the organized one. That is a fabulous idea. You really have saved yourself a lot of time chasing things down. That really is a cool idea~!
That is adorable! I love the functionality!!! Great job!!
That is beautiful and so necessary. I love it. I am so glad you linked up to somewhat simple and I came and found you. Now I will have to look over the rest of you blog.

I love this! I don't have kids, but there are many things that I wish were more accessible on a daily basis so I'm going to try to do something similar!
