The second powder room off of the garage & back staircase was unnecessary for this large family. They really needed a Mud Room for all of the kids back packs and necessary items for extracurricular activities. Leaving the door on the room allowed the parents to hide and mess the children may leave. We matched the style of the other rooms with the custom cabinetry and created individual storage for the entire family.

This project won in the 2013 Builders Association of Metropolitan Pittsburgh Housing Excellence Award for Best Urban Renewal Renovation Project. The glass bowl was made in the glass studio owned by the owner which is adjacent to the residence. The mirror is a repurposed window. The door is repurposed from a boarding house. George Mendel
