Mudroom Make over


So our muddroom is finally done! I know most of us had a dreaded mudroom. They collect EVERYTHING I feel it never does not look cluttered. I just could not take it anymore. Shoes and jacket are something that won’t go away hahaha so i needed somewhere to have them and it to look nice and it to be hidden. Our builder did just a small area where we had 3 cubbies and then hooks above. Great for the time but i needed more! I love things organized when things are not organized and clean i can’t think straight. It’s a real problem. So we sat down and decided what we need and what we need to be able to put away.

One of our big things was JoJo’s car seat! I hate that thing it’s always on my counter because there is no where for it to go. So we made sure to make a spot in the design to have a spot just for the car seat. Then when we don’t need the car seat then you could put buckets and really put anything you want in there and it will still look awesome. Then the next big thing was the dog bowls I hate having those things out all the time. They just look horrible. I wanted a spot that i could feed her and then tuck them away so i did not have to see them anymore. So of course we had to incorporate a secret drawer just for that. Best part is that it will be hidden and no one will see it.

PAINT!!!! So paint is really hard to decide what you want. Not only that Gray is just really hard to get a good color. There are so many different shades of gray so depending what you want it can be a nightmare trying to find the right gray. For this project we spend more money on our paint as well. When doing cabinets you want a paint that is going to last and look the best.

Then I knew we had to have doors and drawers. I just wanted something that would look nice and us not to have to look at all the crap. So We sat down and designed the lay out. This project ended up taking longer then expected. Everything that could go wrong did. No joke so glad that this project was over. Wood cost was around $140. Then we got Handles from Ikea. We did these smaller square ones for the drawers. They cost me $9.99 for 2 i needed 3 so had to buy 2 packs. Then we got The longer 13″ ones for the door’s. The larger handles cost me $12.99 for 2 again I needed 3 so had to buy 2 packs.

I am supper weird about my drawers and how they close. I want them to be smooth so we usually spend more money on our drawer hinges. We get ours at home depot They cost $15.48 each drawer.

Then to door hinges we usually buy for projects are from Lows But they were all out! Of course. So this time we actually got these ones on Amazon.com for $11.33 for 2. We need 9 hinges so had to put 5 packs. So here she is i hope you all love it as much as we do 🙂

One of our Favorite things is the hidden compartment for Pippa’s dog food and water! It is so nice to put it out and away when I want so I don’t have to see it all the time. 34
