The Mudroom
I wanted to show you guys some more photos of our house, so let's start with..well, the beginning. Since you're all friends, I'll bring you in the way we use the most, through the garage! (Front door and formal entryway to come.)
Our house is one of those with the garage under the main living space as opposed to next to it. I don't mind this set up that much, unless we have a lot of grocery bags or suitcases we need to lug up to the first floor! So mostly we pull our cars into the garage and enter here in the basement...but the cool thing is that the previous owners built a great mud room right when you walk in.
Rug is from Ballard Designs, and the mirror used to be royal blue, but I painted it black.
I love the custom built ins that are here, they make me so happy! I just come in from work, drop my keys, bag, coat, boots, whatever and head upstairs into the kitchen (where P is usually already in the middle of cooking us dinner). Love him too!!

LOVE the mudroom. Having a place to put everything is so nice.
ReplyDeleteLove it! I wish we had a space like this in my house. Instead everthing gets dumped on the kitchen counters or on the floor by the back door!
ReplyDeleteHi!
ReplyDeleteI have always loved your mudroom! The custom built ins are gorgeous and you're so talented in decorating! We have another "mudroom" in our home and your pictures are my inspiration! :)

Le sigh--what I wouldn't give for a mudroom! Oh how I wish I had one. Yours is just lovely--feel free to send it my way when you're done with it! ;)
ReplyDeleteHi, everybody! Thanks for the super sweet comments. I know, this was one of the things that sold me on the house. Its so nice having a place to dump everything. I've been wondering if I should give it a little mini-makeover, brighten it up, add more color, but I think there are higher priority spots in the house to tackle first:)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog this week! I love your entry way's architecture. That is such a sweet spot to hold your scarves and jacket. Thanks for sharing your space. Don't forget to post your office today. Stop by to see my office sometime and say hello again.

ReplyDeletelove your built ins and I am always a sucker for ballard designs so of course I love the rug!
