Mud Rooms

Sarah's House

It's that time of year again where if we don't have a mud room ...we wish we did.

It won't be long before the rain's finally hit and the mud starts making it's way into the old farmhouse.

Here on the farm we have a mud room of sorts.

It's not much to look at and it needs a LOT of work

but it does a pretty good job of

catching the bulk of the dirt before it hits the kitchen

and the rest of the house.

Our mud room (it doesn't always look this neat)

One of the prettiest mudrooms I've seen was on

Sarah's House on HGTV. Have you seen it?

If not...she's a designer who bought an old

farmhouse in the country and completely gutted it.

She then ..along with her partner re-designed and

decorated the interior.

Here are a few photo's of that mudroom

and a few more that are to die for.

Sarah's beautiful mudroom/entry

Oh how I wish our mud room was this big!

I LOVE how Sarah has made the new interiors

look like they've been this way since the house was built.

They look so warm and inviting.

I love the country accents...but then I LOVE

Country Cottage!

Do you like that splash of red?

I do.

I love what Sarah used for the base for her sink

in the mudroom/entry bathroom.

I'm still searching for just the right vanity base for our

bathroom as I decided to use that beautiful oak dresser in our bedroom and the other one I had in

mind is just a bit too low even if we put the bowl on top.

So the search continues.

Here's a few more mud rooms for you.

I love the windows and the bench

and of course all the shelves.

Such a nice bright room.

Love those hanging pendant lights!

I love the old world charm of this room

especially the beadboard.

I need a bench like this...but then I need a bigger mud room!

This combination of the bench and the coat rack

with shelves is exactly what I'm looking for

to put in our mud room.

I think I'd put seasonal footwear in those baskets

under the bench.

Do you have a mudroom?

Have a great week.
