Houston, We Have a Mudroom!


This is yet another room that is too small to photograph well...this is the view from the top of the stairs. There are just a couple of details left, such as trim for the window and closet, a closet door, and a long white coatrack that will go on the wall opposite the wood stove. Oh yeah, and a proper light fixture. Right now we're just using an old floor lamp.

There is still a little painting left to do, as well. Last night Don painted 1/2 of the stairs (the same color as you see on the floor) so now he'll do the other half.

Our project is so close to being done I can hardly stand it! I can't believe how much these extra walls have added to the "livability" of this house. We should have done it long ago (we've said that about every renovation project we've ever done, though!).

Wow! That looks really nice! Does that mean that the entry way is no longer the mudroom? Will that coat rack stay for the upstairs people?
Don could have a career in construction, if he so desired! I really like the bins at the end of the room - do those hold hats, gloves, etc? You know how much I like storage!
Great job, you guys! Can't wait to see it in person.

Great job! It really looks nice. I can't wait to see the whole thing in person to get a better perspective of how it looks and what you've done.
