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.

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...

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.    ...

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...
