Mudrooms

Don’t you love mudrooms?  I had to clean mine out today so of course I looked up a few on-line to inspire me.   I am now ready to rearrange, repaint & reupholster. Add another project to the list…

This is our mudroom/shoe station.  We don’t wear shoes in the house so it all ends up here.  We couldn’t find storage big enough but quick thinking DH found this Ikea Billy Bookcase in the clearance section and once again thought outside the box-flip the shelf on its side and add shelves.

I made the seat cushion.  I had mdf board cut to size, added a 2″ foam pad  and batting and stapled it on. No sewing! I also placed a grip pad between the cushion and the seat to prevent it from moving.

I’ll be repainting the room soon enough to an off white color; a shade darker than the ceiling.  I’m also going to reupholster the bench with a livelier color.  This fabric is so drab and stodgy. What was I thinking? Stay tuned for after photos!!
