Our Humble Abode: Mudroom

Oh, mudroom – how I love thee!  I desperately needed one at our old home and this place is no different.  It’s amazing what gets swept up out there…thankfully, it doesn’t end up in the house.

This room wasn’t in horrible shape but did need a little TLC. The ceiling wasn’t finished and it definitely needed a coat of paint, but besides that we didn’t change too much. We had some boards to replace and some trim to put in, but we kept the floor in this room.  Brown hides dirt, yes?!

Wrexy built me a table to fold and sort laundry on (which I love)…as well as the missing sock clothesline.  We ended up putting galvanized metal on the ceiling to tie it in with other pieces of the house.

Functional - just what I need!

We made a clothespin chandelier and I absolutely love how it pops in this room!

Seriously adorbs, yes?!

I made this chalkboard/note holder at our previous home out of an old window from the farm.  I love it so much it had to live here…as well as the cool caricature of Wrex and I.

The fun wall!

Wrex built a bench/cubby/coat rack – a necessity for us!

We have a few coats...

This room could’ve been in worse shape and us never have fixed it and I’d still love it just because it’s a place to kick off dirty shoes and undress and redress and house baby chicks and kittens and hairless dogs and keep all of those things out of the rest of the house!  Our front door rarely gets used…and I’m totally ok with that.
