Finally it is all coming together, not just this mudroom command center, but the entire design aspect of my business. If you follow me over at instagram stories you know I recently locked myself in a hotel room for the weekend. Locked myself there to regroup and strategize my plan of action. It is with awesome happiness that I have been slowly taking on more and more design clients. What once started as a staging company has evolved into something so much more.
However, home staging is an “in and out” process. Designing a home comes with a whole new level of time and energy and I couldn’t say no to any projects. I soon came to realize, I was not able to give my “all” to everyone and worried I was letting clients and myself down. Well, until last weekend, in which new plans, strategies, and systems were implemented, all those concerns are in the trash. So with that, I am happy, oh so happy to report that I am currently riding strong with my all my design clients, and have help so that it can be shared with you all on the blog and social media. So lets start with this mudroom command center makeover. Cause we all know as moms, a functional and realistic command center will truly help us for back to school.
I should add, that I not only updated this clients mudroom, but took on the dining, living, den, and more. So stay tune for all those great reveals too.
Mudroom Command Center Makeover
1. Paint
Give any mudroom a new look with a fresh coat of paint. I opted to get rid of the mint green walls and picked a fresh clean look with Gray Owl by Benjamin Moore.
2. Quick and Easy Command Center with help from Potterybarn
Potterybarn has tweaked and modified their command centers over the years and I love their Build Your Own Galvanized System, functional with a timeless look. From magnetic wipe boards to magnetic chalk boards and brass clips. A GORGEOUS mix of adding a pop of chic to an industrial farm house look.

To a new full wall command center perfect for a family of four getting ready to go back to school.
Feel free to pin this for later and create your own galvanized command center too!

It’s good to lock yourself away and adjust things so that you can make the most of your time! It’s amazing how much of a difference that can make, love the wall, the paint job really brightened the place up!

I love how organized your mudroom is! Having a room for all your mail, calendar notes, etc, is so easy!

I love the Pottery Barn! They have so many things that are actually practical and the quality is top notch.

Pottery Barn has some darling items. I love that you can arrange them anyway you want. I am all about the clean look, too.

yes! my client wanted this system as you can just order online and call it a day, and getting it set up was super easy!
Jessica Terry says
I wish I had a mudroom or a command centre. With 5 kids this could be a great idea to keep all things in a neat and tidy order
Cecilia Cannon says
YES!!! you need one, and 5 kids? God Bless you!

Mudrooms and organization don’t always go hand in hand. Love how you’ve changed that narrative! Amazing job, definitely a job well done. Xo
Cecilia Cannon says

What a nice mudroom! I don’t have a mudroom but if I did I’d love to try and replicate this.
Cecilia Cannon says
right?! me too!
Robin Rue says
This is such a neat room. I love that it would be where everyone’s things are and that the schedule would be here too!
Cecilia Cannon says
Exactly! and the nice thing about their mudroom, is when they have guests over or a party, just close the door, no one has to see the chaos that is a family of 4+
Cindy Ingalls says
I really love the functionality of the command center. It’s so easy for things to get cluttered when you are busy and this helps keep you organized while also looking chic.
Cecilia Cannon says
I love what a command center offers, sadly, I have yet to give myself one but love putting one together for clients
Jean says
What an amazing transformation! I really love this and definitely need something similar in my own house to keep me organised. Plus, I’m glad you are feeling better about things 🙂
Sylvia says
I love the idea of a mudroom command center. Everyone spends time there every morning and afternoon, so they won’t miss the different events.
Aish das Padihari says
Love your idea. Your posts are great to read as well. Thanks for sharing these ideas with us.
Jeanine says
I love this idea! If I had enough room in my house for a mudroom I’d definitely be all for this. Love the decor!
Cecilia Cannon says
Thanks Jeanine, I don’t even have a mudroom in my home, love playing house in my clients homes
Heather says
Your mudroom is fantastic! We are moving into a new home at the end of September with no entry from the garage door at all. I’ll have to get creative about what I’m going to do with everything we normally have in a mudroom. I love this organization and command center!
Cecilia Cannon says
thanks Heather, but, I wish it was my mudroom, it is actually a client mudroom and I installed the command center.
Renee @ The Good Hearted Woman says
This is such a good idea! Back in the days when I was juggling five kids and all their activities, I would have gone crazy without a Command Center. Ours was always on our fridge door – including a big color-coded calendar, which reminds me – one tip I have for parents of multiple kids is to assign them a color early on. I had dry-erase markers in each child’s color, so anything they were doing that went on the calendar was written in their color. The visual cues made it much easier. Even into their teens and twenties, they still ask for “their” cup (the one in their color) when they are home.
Cecilia Cannon says
Love that tip! I have not assigned my kids a color, even today a lady at a store suggested each kid had their own color cups. so when she saw one left in the living room she knew who needed to pick it up, lol

Absolutely love the way that you transformed that wall in your mud room.
