I am very jealous of the space you have for your mudroom! You have a great set up there for your kids and can keep all the mess outside the rest of your living space. I wish I had that for my li'l ones!

Very nice and user friendly space. Good job!

practical and pretty. very well thought out. great use of space for a large family.

who wouldn't love this! Practical and lovely!

Beautiful job!!
We have 9 and are about to tackle our mudroom, what an encouragement to see your results. Thanks for sharing.

Love your fabric on the cushions and window.

Those lights are amazing. Perfect contemporary lighting we'e been hunting for. Please let us know what brand they are, thanks!

Would love product info on round drop ceiling fixture

And the lighting isn't "matchy matchy". Nice! Great space.

What color blue is that? I really like it!

I am green with envy. Beautiful job- thanks for sharing!

Show off....I'm envious as I look at the boot tray excuse I have for a mudroom. lol Heaps of coats on that over the door coat rack. Nice ideas.

Well done!

I love your cushions. I love it all. And looks like your kitty found a special place too :)

It's beautiful! I love the locker and the book shelves ideas. Good job!

Very Nice! Great transformation!

Awesome! Love the lockers and bench. Great idea!

Really nice look.

Too beautiful to call a mudroom! Great job!!

Lovely

Great job. Well thought out and implemented.

You've thought of everything! There are places to sit near the door to take on/off shoes and places to hang your things before going in/out. It's soft and pretty in addition to being practical.

Nothing but envy! It's both lovely and practical.

That narrow bench is perfect. Lots of seating without hogging space. The wainscotting and comfy cushioned benches are great too. The nice thing is that, if you change your color scheme down the roa all you have to do is paint the walls and reupholster the bench cushions!

good job, very nice, love the fabric.

Very very nice. The only problem I can see if it were in my home is that my wife would not let me use it because it is so very very nice. he he

Great work! Such a good idea. Every home needs one of these.

it looks gloriously

Seriously, someone please tell me where to get those lights. DES-PER-ATE!

The lights came from Lowes. They were on mega clearance for only..drum roll please...$12 and they came with the low-E bulbs! Sorry but I don't know the maker. Good luck! The paint color is an oops paint that also came from Lowes. It is a Valspar flat paint. I don't mind taking a sample to the store to get the exact color/code if someone wants it. Just let me know. We are a large military family with 7 kids so everything I do to this house I try to do on a budget. I comb magazines for design ideas and then make it happen. Our entire house is under 3000 sq feet (for 9 people). I carved this space out of our old garage. It was a must-have room for us with so many kids in sports and a dirty chocolate Lab. Thanks for the compliments! The whole story of the project is on my blog. Tureskinny.blogspot.com. (I hope it's OK to post that here. If not, sorry.)

What a beautiful space! I love that you took your family's precise needs in mind when designing this area. The wall color & fabric choice is stunning!

I like the wall color, the lighting fixture, pretty much everything about this room!

Love the size and could possibly use idea for new laundry/mud room

I have a question, how did you hang the plates on the wall? I want to hang plates in our kitchen but I don't want a plate holder on the wall, just like you have it.
Thanks!

Very practical! And the seating you've created definitely allows enough space for your crew to lace up/take off their muddy shoes :)

Maddy, I just hung a few plates myself. I found these little adhesive plate hanger thingies on Amazon which I LOVE. It's a small round adhesive patch with a metal hanger attached. When the patch is moistened with a small amount of water it gets gluey. You firmly press it onto the back of the plate, wait 24 hours, and hang. Very strong. It can be used for all kinds of wall art. If you decide to take it down, you can soak the plate in warm water to remove the patch without damage.

Oh my gosh! thank you so much :) I can't wait to go hang my plates up now!!

Wow, this is gorgeous! I absolutely love the built in bookshelves in the mud room, very original. I have seen open lockers in mud areas for kids and i think it is a terrific idea, especially for colder climates when the winter hits!

Thanks for the compliments! The plates are actually hung with plate hangers, but they really don't show.

I would love to see the bin storage cubes and the inside of the lockers.

Looks great, I love the colors. Consider adding a few boot dryers for any extra muddy, rainy or snowy days! It could help keep the house clean and keep your mudroom less stinky.

sweet!

Nice! Very aesthetically pleasing as well as functional.

Great work!

What a great idea! Looks very nice.

It's refreshing to see a mudroom for a large family! Good job!

Darling!
