Garage "Mudroom" Organizer

My home doesn't have a mudroom. When guests come to visit, there is no convenient place for them to take off their shoes or to hang wet coats. I saw this plan in a Family Handyman project book and thought it looked like the perfect solution.

The build was easy and straightforward. The hardest part of the entire project was mounting it on the garage wall. When I tried to use a stud finder, I realized that there was a layer of osb between the drywall and the studs, rendering the stud finder useless (even on the "Deep Scan" setting). I ended up having to carefully measure stud locations on the opposite wall (inside the house) and transfer those locations onto the garage wall. It worked out okay, but took a long time!

I carefully positioned this project so that I would have plenty of room for my next project, on the same wall - Ana's Ultimate Roll-Away Workbench and a set of shop cabinets!
