OK, so I have been a neglectful blogger. I guess I've been pretty busy with other things. However, Spring is nearly here (only one month away) so the projects have begun. We need to complete this mudroom quickly so we can get some things done outside.
Sooooo....our mudroom is an old laundry room and it is the main entrance into the house. No one really uses our front door since everyone parks in the back of the house. The entrance to our home needs to be much more inviting.
The room was decorated with some lovely faux wood wallpaper with a clothesline border. Needless to say, that had to go.
Our goal is to have clean lines with warm, inviting, country flair.

| This wall will be done in barn wood with a gray bench. |

| We found the bench online and plan to update it with a little chalk paint. |
Progress! So far, we have completed some of the painting and will be finishing up the details in the coming weeks.

| I found this guy at Meijer. He is pretty cool. |

| I love these pretty knobs! |
I can't believe we actually finished it this weekend!
One of my favorite things is to see side by side transformation. The photos may not be at exactly the same angle, but they are close.
Here is some of the decor.

A different kind of coat rack made from a piece
of barn wood from the former owner's church barn. |
I'm so glad this project is finished!
It is a much more welcoming entrance to our home now.
