Countertops in mudroom

We feel like we're finally nearing the end with the mudroom project. We finally got the butcher block countertop for under the window last weekend. It's about 7 1/2 feet long so it will provide a great workspace for both Brooke and I. Of course, I have visions of a gift wrapping station, a place to arrange flowers, and possibly a bar for parties. Brooke says he's going to use it to "work on things." Whatever that means! :) Regardless, this is some great extra countertop space right off the kitchen. We'll be buying bar stools and of course organizational pieces for storage (and maybe a gift wrap bar or perhaps that really cool Pottery Barn office set up with the bulletin board, wipe board, calendar, and mail slots!). The only thing we now have left to get together out there is the shelving for around the fridge. We hope to purchase that at Ikea in the next few weeks.

Before the countertop (sorry that I didn't get Brooke's bike out of the picture, but you get the idea).
