Mud Room Inspiration


The backdoor/garage entry/mudroom I have so many ideas for. I hope to make it more functional and pretty. Currently the only natural light comes from the window of the backdoor so I hope to replace it with a similar style door, just with some more privacy glass.

I hope to have the currently double sliding door/closet space created into more of a "locker" room-ish space. I would like to have a bench so you can sit and put on your shoes if necessary with some coat coats on the wall. I would like to have some storage space or winter gloves and hats, hopefully in the form of drawers under the bench. The thing I am currently struggling with is the currently clothes rail set up I also use for hang to dry clothes. If I remove this and replace with coat hooks this would not leave me with much other space for dry clothes. I have a smaller Ikea stand dryer which is great for pants and intimates, but not so great with longer pieces like shirts and jackets.
I do wish to keep the current smaller portion of the closet for cleaning supplies, but replace the sliding door with a normal swing door.
Aesthetically I hope to have the some white shiplap on the wall either the entire space or guest bath, and I am also struggling with the decision of pattern cement tile or porcelain tile. I like the look of a pattern cement or porcelain tile, I am just unsure how well it will date. I am worried that years later I will dislike it and want to replace it. I am trying to keep the materials I choose timeless so I don't have to do major updates as years go by.


Below I will insert pictures off my Pintrest board (which I use as a vision board) for each room. If I know the source I will embed them in the picture, but I have mainly seen these off Pintrest and unsure of original source.

Master Suite Inspiration

The inspiration I have for our updates are modern farmhouse, modern, and cozy. I have been stalking through Pintrest and Instagram for ideas and have so many things I love and hope to incorporate into our home. Below I will insert pictures off my Pintrest board (which I use as a vision board) for each room. If I know the source I will embed them in the picture, but I have mainly seen these off Pintrest and unsure of original source. Master Bedroom I really wanted this space to feel calm, relaxing, cool yet warm and comfy. I have a hard time sleeping already so anything I can do to help myself get in the mood for some long zzz's I'll do it.              En-suite En-suite bath we really wanted to make it functional for our needs. I don't take baths really so having a bathtub would not be the most practical of choices so we opted for a large walk in shower. I also really liked the idea of having between stud built in shower storage. I though...

About Us

Before I divulge into our home buying process I thought I would give you a quick blurb about us and our background. Incase you did not know. Which most of you do.... I work as an administrative assistant in health care. This job is great for my need to want to help others and allows me to be super OCD, organized, and at times bossy, however lacks creativity. I remember always loving interior design. As a child, like 8 years old or something one of my favorite TV channels were HGTV. I loved watching TLC's Trading Spaces, House to Home, and Debbie Travis' Facelift. I remember writing to interior design and host House to Home telling her how much I loved her show and how I wanted to be an interior designer just like her. Which is still true. I feel like I am a very practical/logistical person. If being and interior designer was a guaranteed good earning job I would be all over that. Along with being terrible at math is a bit of a set back as you need the highest high scho...

House Hunting

This is our first (and hopefully last) home. We purchased it back in February 2018 and was drawn to its potential and beautiful backyard. Darrel really wanted a home with large trees and a backyard. Since he grew up living on an acreage it was important to him to have similarities to country living while living in the capital city. During our house hunt that took place between December of 2017 and January 2018 we found it difficult to find a house in Edmonton that checked all our boxes. 1) Larger backyard 2) Trees 3) 3-4 decent sized bedrooms 4) 2-3 bathrooms 5) Double attached garage 6) South Edmonton 8) Close to schools and parks 7) Price As mentioned it was important to Darrel to have a larger backyard with larger tree's which essentially eliminated all newer built homes. We did see a few online listings and the problem with these newer built homes in Edmonton and probably other areas is they are so squashed together. A lot of the times your back yard consists of ...
