Well, this post could better be titled "How I use our back hallway"! We have a half bath off the back door; a wonderful invention when you have small children! Our back door opens to a large courtyard and, over the years, little neighbour kids know they can slip into our back door and easily use our bathroom rather than run home to their own! It means less mess all through the house on the sandbox days; oh, how thankful I was for that bathroom sink just off the back door! I hang our small hand broom and dust bin behind the back door; they are out of the way and handy for a quick clean up. The large broom used to hang on a 3M hook many years ago, but I got tired of replacing broken hooks and patching drywall from a kid grabbing the broom at a wrong angle tearing holes in the wall.
We use vertical space for storage of the kids' boots, shoes, hats, purses, and coats. There are lots of hooks for them to choose from. We purchased shoe racks that have seen plenty of boots and shoes over the 20 plus years we've lived here. It's not rocket science but I thought I'd share the arrangement anyway.
Two daughters were at work when I snapped this photo; that's why there's so much empty space; their work shoes usually sit on the top rack. You can't see it here, but there are hooks above both shoe racks.
This is where our younger three keep their boots and shoes.
