I'm back from my lovely Colorado vacation (sigh). I spent some time out yesterday in the sunny, 85 degree fall weather (hey, it's Texas folks - this is fall!) purchasing my mums and pumpkins.I know that these gorgeous fall days will soon give way to the messy days of winter so it's time to revisit Steph's mudroom. A quick recap; my friend Steph, who lives in the northeast, is adding a mudroom addition to her family's home - a 1700's school house - that will also serve as their entryway…

This mudroom addition creates a perfect dropping ground before you enter the new family room. A slate floor is forgiving of muddy and wet feet and makes for easy clean up. Lots of light with transoms into the interior family room and exterior adds function to beautiful form.

In this article,Jeremy Kassel details the process of converting an existing porch into a mudroom. The porch, initially about 60 sq. ft., lacked proper insulation, had single-pane windows, and a storm door in place of a proper entry door. The goal was to transform it into a semi-conditioned mudroom with a utility area for laundry and space for storing items like boots, jackets, hats, and gloves.

When we moved we knew we needed to improve the mudroom situation. There was just nowhere to hang up all of the jackets and keep all of the shoes.
