2. Swirl it
Rubber is a fantastic material for slush-proofing your home, and Crate and Barrel's Swirl Boot Tray is both stylish and affordable.
3. Make Your Wellies Work for You
Take a cue from the UK and score a wall-mounted model to keep in your garage. This Wellington Boot Rack is my favorite!
4. Rack it
Connecticut homeowner Alexandra created her own mudroom-friendly boot rack. Adorable, no?
5. Vintage Will Sop it Up
A classic aluminum boot rack gives your home the perfect amount of vintage love.
6. Take a Stone to Your Slush
You know, the Martha Stewart way. This DIY pebble-filled boot tray has been around the block a few times, but we love it just the same!
7. Warming Up
A wrought-iron boot rack by the fireplace keeps both mittens and boots toasty warm!
8. Bag it
Keep those wellies from dripping on the floor by hiding them in a Wellington Boot Bag.
9. Get Scraping
Craft a DIY boot scraper in a few hours or less and say goodbye to muddy, slushy floors!
10. No More Winter Blues
Keep this Victorian boot scraper and brush by your door to brush off those winter blues.
