The mudroom~craftroom~playroom~reveal!

Ready for the big reveal?
It’s such a tight space to photograph but I tried my best.
I have had so much fun transforming this room with you! Thanks for being so patient  with us and joining in on the ride!
Enjoy!
Walking in from the garage looking straight ahead
at the kids computer area and toy storage.


 
 


 
If you walk in from the house you see my craft area where I painted my grandmothers
Sewing machine.
 
 
 

 

 

Walking in from the garage you see the mudroom wall and the door that leads into the house.
Some of you asked where we purchased the book shelf.  It was a craigslist find for $30. I have seen them new at Ikea for $99. 
The bench was free at a garage sale.
You can find out how we made the wall organizer out of two used pieces here.

Hooks from Target


 
Baskets from Target.
 I modge Podged their names on the wood signs from Michael’s.


Woven baskets from Ikea. I covered the magazine holders with fabric.
 



Bench pad and pillows I made.


 

 
You can see how we hid our garage door opener.

 The kids craft area is bright and sunny under the window.
The shutters were purchased on Craigslist for $20.
Table was free from a friend, which I transformed.


Here are some before shots.  I can not for the life of me find any pictures of this room when it was a garage.  The wall was built my my husband and father in law.
If I run across the pictures I promise to add them!

 

 

 
 


 
Once again, thank you, for your support, encouragement and such kind words!
Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
Love-
Kristin

Mudroom Wall Reveal!

I bet you thought the day would never come.
To be honest, I didn’t either, considering we started this January 1st!


So let’s start with the finished product and for those of you that are interested,
I’ll have a picture tutorial after all the fluffy pictures.Warning: Lots of pictures!
After


The wall before




Something tells me this will be the only time the baskets aren’t filled with junk

 
 


 


 

 
 
 




So, what is left?
Take the wheels off and attach the bench to the wall.

Find two more hooks and add them for more hanging storage.

Let’s take a look back and see how all this came to be.



Free bench






Sanded primed and painted



$30 bookshelf sanded, primed and painted



Husbands handy work with scrap wood



Add the bookshelf above

Add box above bookshelf to make it look like a heightened cabinet.
We did this in the kitchen.




Start adding trim and wainscot
EVERYWHERE
 



Make shadow boxes





More Trim







Lots of trim makes everything pretty!

 


Considering the kitchen took us 5 years, this is pretty fast for us!
I’ll be posting pictures of the whole room on Monday!
Hope your weekend is fabulous!
XOXO

Have you been saving those glass jars?

My corner of the mudroom is all finished.

I enjoy seeing my supplies so I chose to display everything in recycled glass bottles.
 I’ve talked about this in a previous post.
They make some of the best containers to display little treasures, the best part,
they are free!

Since California can sometimes be on the rocky side, I attached Velcro on each bottle so we don’t have any accidents.



 The shelves were being stored in a closet, I used to have them displayed in the nursery.  I’m so glad I hung onto them!

The frame I repainted and the blue form I purchased at Marshall’s for $6.00
I’ll be sharing more of the corner this week with you and how I pulled it off for $30.00.
So much talent has been linked up!
 Every week I have such a hard time picking just a few to highlight, this week was no exception.

Buckets of Burlap fabulous nesting boxes, look close to see what they really are!


Emerald Cove’s master bedroom transformation with her own faux fireplace!

Rosebud and Bluebells window valance, so pretty!

At the Picket Fence made this beautiful guardrail cover
