Mudroom

Entry

Mud room when you enter back door on right of picture.

Doorway from dining room to kitchen before this wall was removed. The mudroom is in view in the back.

MAJOR DISAGREEMENTS about this tiny space. Darren wanted the wood flooring to extend into here, I wanted it tiled from the floor to three feet up the wall. The compromise: Very cheap tile floor.It will take a little more work to make it a workable Mudroom/Laundry Room. I'm thinking magnetic paint under chalkboard paint on the wall you can't see from this angle. The kids coat/backpack hooks will also go there. Very family utilitarian, not at all aesthetically pleasing.

In the process of having the mudroom repaired after storm damage in August. The ceiling and insulation was taken out, floors will be removed, and closet shelves redone due to water damage (roof leaf).

This is the mudroom. Hence, the mud.
