Mudroom

I finally got our mudroom ready for use. I used the same color scheme as the kitchen which is the next room over.

The beadboard celing had alot of flaking paint that had to be hand sanded off before I primered and painted it. I am happy with the way it turned out.

I decided to have a built-in ironing board which I felt was appropriate. This is where the door origionally was entering the back storage room (now the pantry). I had to fabricate new shiplap siding board to duplicate the left side of the ironing board.

Here is what the ironing board looks like.

  2. I love the looks of the door, closed. And I love the ease of using the ironing board. Great job! Built ins are always an asset, in my estimation!

  3. Thank you Nance. I was really undecided on what to do with this old doorway since I blocked it off for our pantry. I had to find shiplap boards for the right to match the 100 year old ones on the left. I am pretty happy with the way it turned out. I made sure I kept it as period correct as possible.
