While I was writing my hen on nest post, I realized I had not shared the details of my mudroom!

Farmhouse mudroom with brick floorsThe mudroom is right when you come in from the garage and it is also near the front door.  We do not have a coat closet – so this cabinet door on the right serves as the coat closet.  We noticed when we were touring many new homes, that they lack coat closets!

Now, originally when we had designed this room the bank of cabinets was going to go in between the door and the window where this bench is.  However, once the walls were framed, it made a lot more sense to tuck the cabinets in the little nook.  I haven’t quite decorated this area yet… just stuck a bench here and a little painting but will change it when I find just the right thing!

You can see the edge of the bench in the bottom picture – what we had originally thought to be the location of the cabinets.  I wrote about it in my mudroom design post here.  It’s kind of fun reading those old posts – I was really hesitant about the brick!

Mudroom

The brick we chose with Arto Brick – it is a smooth finish in creme fraiche color way.  I will say, it hasn’t snagged my socks as I was worried before, but isn’t comfortable on bare feet!  The reason it is uncomfortable is because the tile guys didn’t fill the grout lines as high as we would have liked.  So when you walk sometimes a higher corner sticks up and pokes your foot.  This can be remedied if you fill the grout lines higher – and we have done that in other parts of the house… just haven’t done it in this room yet!  Would I choose this tile again? Yes I would. Do not let that deter you from using another product if you were thinking about this one!

Underneath the bench are drawers – usually holding shoes, but it seems I’ve kicked off my shoes elsewhere!

This paint color of the cabinets is called French grey.  It has a green hue and not so much a grey!  I love how it goes against the brick.

    I love everything about this room. I’ve always dreamed of a brick or slate floor in my mudroom. Maybe someday.

    Angelina,
    The location of the cabinets looks like it was planned from the beginning. Excellent use of space and beautiful woodwork with all the crown molding. Oh, yes, love the wide planks as the back of the bench area.

      Judith, thank you! Some things didn’t go as planned, and turned out for the better!

    I just love the paint color you chose and that brick floor! We also decided not to do a coat closet – works fine for us because we rarely wear coats in Texas. I love having the mudroom space.

      I didn’t realize we didn’t have a coat closet until after we designed the house – works out fine, this little cabinet holds what we need!
