the mudroom. for a large family.

November 12, 2010 August Fields

when we were working on the design of the house one element remained constant:  a large mudroom.
for real too.  we would go through homes that, according to their description, ‘boasted a large mudroom’ or had a ‘very spacious mudroom’ ….blah blah….and they were NOT overly large.
we go places as a family. everywhere. a lot.  that’s 7 bodies, 14 feet, 14 arms.
that means we’re all getting our shoes, coats, hats, purses etc. at the same time in the same
room.  which, whatever, i mean we did that in our old house, i just had to be really organized and patient.  and its all good.  but since we were building a home this was an area that we wanted to do differently than most homes.  

the floor is a very forgiving dark gray slate.

 the window seat lifts up and currently we have beach towels and beach bags in there from the summer.

we still wanted to incorporate a closet for my tablecloths and more coats with room for guests to hang theirs if necessary. so instead of ALL individual lockers we made a double door closet.  

 this is what the inside looks like.  this one is mine. 🙂  we have 5 double hooks in each locker.

 this is the view from the other end.

i had to add this picture. 🙂  we just came back from a family vacation and i found this little metal “7” in a shop in beaufort, SC.  it’s hanging on our be kind picture above the drinking fountain.

Our boy’s bunkbeds were custom made from a picture I tore out of a magazine. Unfortunately, there are no drawn up plans I can share.
