House #5

*Sidenote: before you read anything else about my house I have to get this off my chest. Remember when we first started building our house and I went on and on about how this house is a "not so big" house and we cut a bunch of square feet etc... Well, Im pretty embarrassed now that the house is done and it's huge, so please don't judge me on house size. I know you are all thinking that my idea of a regular sized house must be some enormous mansion or something but really my conceptual planning of the house on paper was all done in my head and hard to relate to real tangible space. With that said, we really could have gone quite a bit smaller and still have been very happy with it.

The Mudroom would probably be #5

again, it would probably be higher on the list but it isn't done yet either. The mudroom is the room we come in from the garage, our pantry, and laundry room. Right now all we have in there is the pantry cupboards and our old washer and dryer. Eventually we will have all built in cupboards along two walls but I didn't want to have them built around our current old washer and dryer and then have them break down and have to buy new ones that probably wouldn't fit in the space.

So when we replace our washer and dryer we will get cabinets made. A cupboard for vacuum, broom, cleaning etc, a sink under one of the windows and then lots of counterspace and storage for cleaning, and laundry stuff. I have two cute little pendant lights that hang down in each window that you can see from the outside when they are turned on. We will also have a space for hangin coats and hats and shoes. It's fun to dream about it even if it is a long ways away.

Here is the only decent shot of the room looking in through the entry way, you can see our pantry cupboards.
