Look. I’m the first to jump on a DIY project, but there are times when it’s just better to have someone else do it. We paid more than we wanted to, but it was sooo worth it! You ready for a tour? Come on in!
Before we go any further, let me remind you of what this space looked like before.
What was I so afraid of when we built this place? GoodNESS! All that dead space (you know how I feel about dead space) is now filled with hooks, cubbies, drawers, and cabinets. Makes my heart skip a beat!
I’ve still got some finishing touches to add that I’ll post about when ready. However, I’ll be back later this week to talk about this little lady. She’s my new best friend.

I love your mud room. I was wondering where you got your lamp from, I have been looking for one like that.
April says
NOw this is a mud room to be proud of girl! i know it sucks to pay for someone to do the extra projects but you could not have achieved this look with shelves you just buy and place there. It looks very solid and classic. oh and i’m drooling over the lamp and table accessories!

Love It!!! Oh how I want a space like yours with cubbies.

I cannot get over the transformation! I remember the post where you showed all sorts of inspiration pix for your mudroom. Yours is a winner!!! And entering the mudroom by way of that gorgeous black door is just the cherry on top!
I still don’t see your name on the list for the Mr.Pumpkin-on-a-box. Don’t forget to sign up! : )
Kari says
That is awesome! I’m so jealous. We have four school-aged kids, so I would be thrilled to have cubbies to store all their stuff. Thanks for sharing pics.

Rebecca@Harmony and Home says
I just found your blog and it's adorable! I'm SO jealous of your mud room. We have a 2000 foot home in Silicon Valley with the smallest laundry room ever! I can't even turn around in it! But, if I did have a mud room, I would style it just like you did yours! Great cabinetry!
Monica says
I love your mudroom! Could you tell me what type of wood (and paint) you used to build this? I'm curious if your carpenter built the drawers and cabinets or if they were bought. I'm also from Michigan and enjoy reading your blog.
Thanks, Monica
All Things Cherish says
Hopped over from Kimba's. Wow, absolutely stunning! Who knew a mudroom could cause so much envy! : )
Creative Decor by Brooke says
Wow, that is incredible. I don't know if you can call it a mudroom anymore. Maybe "The Mud Palace". Ha, it looks great.
Thanks for sharing
