Re-model

If you will remember from here, our plan is to build a window seat in our front room bayish window.

I have the plans for it, and with the help of my dad and his tools, I feel its quite possible.

There are a few reasons Jason and I bought this house, one of which is that it is less then 10 years old and does not need to be re-modeled.

But that doesn't mean I can't do it anyway, right?

Well my next set of plans for the front room, is to build a mudroom.

Like this one.


For this space.

As you can see, the first thing I do when I get home, is take off my shoes. Usually in the same spot, sometimes about 5 feet over near the kitchen, but regardless, it looks bad. About every other week I will collect all my shoes and move them back to the closet cause it looks so bad.

Now there isn't a ton of room right there for a big mudroom, but there is enough for a little one.

It will be equipped with a seating bench, shoe shelves, coat hooks and storage above for seasonal things, such as hats scarves and gloves.

I don't know how long Jason and I intend to live in this house, but I do think that these projects we will do, will increase the value of the home, or at least increase the interest people have in it when we do try and sell it.

After all, who would't love a mudroom and a window seat?

That's awesome! You are so creative! I wish I had that kind of touch for our house!! There is so much that needs to be done or could be done, and I just don't know! Yay for you!
