My mudroom is just off of the garage. It has always been a catchall for piles of coats, papers, boots, school work and various kitchen overflow. Now that I have remodeled the kitchen (blog post coming soon) I do not have to place any items from the kitchen into the mudroom. Here are some before shots:
>A few years ago I had the idea of making one entire wall a magnet board. It was OK for a while, but I found that we really never used the magnet board in the mudroom to it's full potential. So I removed the huge piece of sheet metal, patched the holes in the walls, repainted the room with Behr Premium Paint in Parisian Taupe. Then I patched and sanded the shelves in the mudroom and painted the shelves and the doors and trim in Behr Decorator White.
I had wanted to put doors covering the shelves in the mudroom, but since I have spent all of my budget on my kitchen remodel, I opted to hang a shower curtain over the shelves instead. I think it turned out pretty and practical.
The entire cost for this project was $20. I only had to purchase a new shower curtain rod and curtain hooks. I had leftover paint from the kitchen remodel.
I finished this project all by myself at 1:30 am the night before Rob and Tyler returned from their camp out.
What do you think of the completed project? Here are the after photos (These photos were taken with my phone. I really need to get a nice camera)

Beautiful & inspiring...as usual, miss you!
Wow! Lookin' good! Want to come to my house?
Love it! You are amazing!
I wish I had a mud room. I just get mud in the house. No place to leave it. I think that all the things that are the forest, a decontamination tent before we enter the house would be wonderful. Great job on your mud room and the rest of the house renewal.
