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 Bedroom Reveal

ITS HERE! I have finally gotten to a place with our master bedroom where I can show you some reveal photos and information. Our bedroom is not done yet in my eye, I would like to add in some more decorative accents for sure. Decorate the dresser properly, switch out the night stands at some point etc. But as goes with design its ever evolving, changing, editing and fine tuning. I am so happy how it turned out. When I was designing this space in the beginning I really didn't have a strong vision of what I wanted the room to look like. I just knew how I wanted it to feel, and from there it just came together. I wanted the bedroom to feel calming, cool, yet cozy. I have a hard time sleeping so I do as much as I can to help myself sleep easier. You can read all about the finishes chosen in this previous post. I share everything from paint colour, light fixture, flooring etc. Can we all take a moment of silence for this BEAUTIFUL mirror/art piece. I was luckily enough to...

Master Suite Progress

Slowly but surly the master suite started to look like a livable space. It took up from February to June to be at the point for drywall to hang. The drywall and ceiling took I believe 2 weeks to completion and as soon as it was done I was painting. We started by moving out of our bedroom to one of the guest bedrooms, this room could only fit our bed which we had to skootch by the end of the bed and wall to access the closet. The dresser and my makeup station was in the other guest bedroom. We lived there for 5 months. When it was time for drywall we moved our bedroom to the main level, in the back living room where the fireplace was located. This was alright as we could fit all furniture in the room, and having the sliding back door open at night was nice to help cool us off in the hot summer nights. I did miss sleeping on our bed frame. When we moved down stairs we didn't bother setting up the bed as it was temporary. We slept there for another 2 months.    ...

Living Space Inspiration

For the living space I want it to be comfy and welcoming yet functional and child friendly (for future, currently nonexistent children). My goal for this entire renovation process is to keep everything as timeless as possible and to think ahead. For intense The entire house is carpeted, minus the kitchen, mud room, and upstairs guest toilet. When we were working on our first phase of the project to removed all of the carpet on the second floor and replaced it with vinyl "wood" flooring. I was suggested to have vinyl in the guest bedrooms as it is easier to clean from potential spills and accidents. 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. Front living space The living space is no acceptation. The front living will house a cuddly couch but have fabric that is durable which cushion covers that...
