She has the same thoughts as you do - both wonderful country charm. I can see your home looking just like hers. Only better! Yours is very "homey" and welcoming. I do like her mud room but love yours with DH's collection of hats. We don't have one but could sure use one. Oh well, renovations always seem to appear here and maybe that will be the next one...enjoy...Love you...ScuftyScuftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03935179312233426596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5672117109679216195.post-30149167820225532052010-11-10T11:27:55.494-06:002010-11-10T11:27:55.494-06:00Hi Maura!

When I was a child on the farm my mum had my dad build her a mud room and insisted us kids go in and out of the mud room as we were always mucky from playing outside or helping dad on the farm! Even once in awhile the odd chicken would wonder in the mudroom just to nose around ! Well mum wouldnt have that lol ! love your photos ! Have a wonderful day !

Could certainly do with one here! We have a tiny porch for muddy wellies and other footwear. I bring the kids shoes in in the winter to warm them by the stove before they put them on. <br />This evening I have left your blog open and listened to your lovely play list for a while. Very restful : ) Thank you for the continued inspiration. We did our bathroom! That's how I found your blog in the first place while looking for inspiration. We did it all beachy blue and sandy cream. Still got a couple of bits of furniture to paint then I'll post some photos : )Aileen Clarke Craftshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16295960962493554673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5672117109679216195.post-7753012827431182902010-11-09T13:51:49.411-06:002010-11-09T13:51:49.411-06:00I love Sarah's mud room especially the red doo...I love Sarah's mud room especially the red doors!

I've been watching her since she had her other shows on HGTV. Her last "season" of Sarah's house and the old country house is my favorite. She really "does" beautiful! My daughter is currently living in Toronto and I plan to visit after the first of the year... I told her my goal was to find her studio and meet her... and Tommy too of course!<br /><br />Chris<br /><br />PS and idea for your dresser/sink issue... I saw this in a magazine, they took an old sink that is meant to be hooked to the wall in the back and supported by metal legs and placed it on a dresser. Since the design of the sink is actually higher it needs to sit on a lower than average surface. My vanity in my bath is actually low and I've been on the look out for an old sink to try this with.Chris at Red Gate Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12339700094067226000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5672117109679216195.post-29565359304385999202010-11-08T20:49:57.806-06:002010-11-08T20:49:57.806-06:00Oh Maura, Sarah's House is my favorite show on...Oh Maura, Sarah's House is my favorite show on HGTV. I dreamed one night that I went to Canada and talked Sarah and Tommy to come to WV and do my house. Oh I wish! The farmhouse she did is my dream home--on the inside anyway. That mudroom is so pretty. Love the red, love the bathroom and love all the country accents and fabrics. Your mudroom is so neat and perfect. I love it! I have a small mudroom and wish it was bigger. I keep telling husband to keep his muddy shoes out of it and he says "what is a mudroom for?" I can't argue with that one :) <br />Amy xoVerde Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08551515900687338284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5672117109679216195.post-55396401350427684422010-11-08T20:15:44.105-06:002010-11-08T20:15:44.105-06:00I love Sarah!

That's one of the things about living in the country with no cable, I miss all the good decorating shows. Thanks for sharing those photos. I love red! Our mudroom is much too small for my liking and the only wall space has a large window, hence no wall space! Just lots of light, which is good too!<br /><br />Have a great week!<br />Hugs ~Andrea~Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15451777566497814274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5672117109679216195.post-77067467080793264382010-11-08T19:02:58.636-06:002010-11-08T19:02:58.636-06:00Maura,

I'm really hoping he gets to it this month, prior to company coming next month. He won't have it done before winter, because it officially arrived today with freezing rain and SNOW. Can you believe it? It's early this year, even for us. The dogs are starting to be intrigued by it but the chickens are not impressed at all. They do, however, like when the snow piles on their fence and they can eat if off. Simple pleasures!<br />Have a great Monday.<br />StaciStaci@LifeAtCobbleHillFarmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12970355437338210130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5672117109679216195.post-30551806006035031952010-11-08T18:57:49.237-06:002010-11-08T18:57:49.237-06:00Never heard of the term before Maura, but I sure d...Never heard of the term before Maura, but I sure do like the idea and those photos are just lovely.<br />Warmest Hugs,<br />Sandi @ <a href="http://bearlysaneaust.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Ess D'Ess Bears</a>Bearly Sanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08242988690398846814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5672117109679216195.post-46134978775613866232010-11-08T18:39:20.462-06:002010-11-08T18:39:20.462-06:00You have a cute little mudroom, Maura!
