Mudroom Before & After


It's Friday afternoon and the kids are officially on Christmas break. Let the chaos commence!!


A few weeks ago I showed you the design I was working on for my neighbor's new mudroom.





The original laundry room was off the garage, and was rather small and cramped…







Borrowing space from the garage enabled them to have a much larger room with plenty of space for laundry and storage.








 The floor tile is Restauri Porpora, and the wall paint is Benjamin Moore "Mosaic Tile."








The electrical panel was cleverly hidden behind doors that were coated with chalkboard paint...







The countertop is quartz black noir. We're still waiting for the faucet to be installed.











It's such a great space. I'm a little jealous :)


You can see in this "before" picture, the space they grabbed from the garage to create the mudroom...





And the view from the garage now...







It really didn't affect the garage area at all, and now they have a much more useful room to store all the kids' gear.






I've got to go hang with my boys now, but I hope you all have a fantastic weekend!

  2. Carolyn -
    This is exactly what I have thought about doing for my laundry room, which is really a laundry closet! Oh, well, I think it's too late since we're putting the house on the market after the holidays. Know anyone who wants to move to Atlanta????

  12. I will forever recommend this storage place and if you know what's good for you, you will too! I shopped around a lot before choosing this storage place, and they had the best rates I found.
