little renovation

Our mudroom has been driving us crazy for awhile now. It was so hard to keep it organized and you could see the mess from almost anywhere in the house. So we finally said enough is enough and made plans to change it up. After whipping up some initial drawings, David started the project last Monday first by removing all the shoes and coats and then tearing down a wall. With the blue wall gone, we could see just how the new mudroom should look. Over the next few days, David build some new walls which allowed us to totally rearrange the living room to accommodate our new tv and couch (yay!), and then following the designs I made for my ideal mudroom storage, he built the shelves. It looks amazing! And is 100 times more functional than the old room. We moved all the shoes and coats back in on Friday. It was a pretty minor change in relation to some of the past construction projects around here, but it is such a huge improvement ~ and one of the best parts is now we get to see the beautiful cordwood wall that has been hiding behind our crazy mountain of shoes and other belongings since we first moved in. SO happy ~
