You may not know it yet, but you need a mudroom
If you love a level of organization and functionality that you just haven’t quite achieved in your home, behold, the Mudroom: the perfect place to transition yourself and your things from outdoors to in and back out again. Whether it’s in a corner of the garage, an entryway or a whole room of its own, this oft-overlooked space is perhaps the missing piece in the flow and convenience of your home.
Double-Duty Craft Room
This mudroom doubles as a craft room, where a dropped counter at desk height accommodates a sewing machine. Though doors and drawers hide wrapping paper, ribbon, tape and scissors, countertops are the perfect place for wrapping gifts. Coordinating materials used in the room differentiate spaces for different tasks: white for tasks and crafts, polished wood for household storage, olive green for personal things.
