And, onto the next project---the mudroom. This is the view walking in our side door from the carport, facing the laundry area. The door to the left at the top of the stairs is the door into the kitchen. We think it was a garage at one time, but now has been neglected and is very dirty and in need of a spruce-up. The framed out part going into the laundry room will be divided by a double french door with glass panels. This way, we'll be able to separate the room into 2---laundry area and pantry/craft project area.
This is the view standing in the laundry area looking out towards the carport. The fridge will stay in place and we'll put in countertops and cabinets for additional storage.
Standing on the steps that go up to the kitchen looking towards the side door. We'll also replace this door with a full glass french door. The old concrete floor will be tiled in a natural/beige tile, and the walls in the "craft room" will probably be painted one shade darker than the blue in the kitchen to make everything flow. I think we'll paint the laundry area a beige color (possibly one shade lighter than the living room). I'll be searching for a fun fabric to go on the windows out here, but something that's inexpensive and will tie in with the kitchen.
Brooke starts the first work out here---pulling down some of the old framing. We bought sheetrock and 2x4s at Home Depot today so he can build a frame to hold the new french doors...oh, what fun we have on Saturday afternoons! :)
