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.
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

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


 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.

  28. what an amazing difference, you must be enjoying it. you did an excellent job. my favourite is the bench area and the hooks and shelving above

  29. Absolutely stunning. Hard to believe you could make so many useful areas in one space. Your sewing corner looks wonderful as well as convenient. Great coat/storage/bench area, love the way you hid the garage door opener. Totally great colors, usefulness and decoration.

  33. I love it! There are just so many things I like about this room that I'm not even going to attempt to list them all. Lets just say I love it and wish you could come over and make me one!

  34. That is one beautiful room! My favorite idea was the cover for the garage door. Our home has remote controls for some of our fans/lights. They are so ugly, but we haven't found a way to hide them. Thinking we might try hiding them the way you did since they aren't used that much.

  35. I am in LOVE with this and totally jealous! You did the most amazing job and it turned out gorgeous!

  36. WOW!!!!!!!!!! Kristin…what a beautiful room you have created..so cozy and inviting. LOVE it.

    Hugs,

  42. Wow Kristin! That is no ordinary mudroom! Your mudroom is fabulous! I love the transformation! Now can you come down here and transform mine? Mine is so far down on my list of room to do's that it will probably be 2012 before I get to it!
