This is an old picture right after installation before doors, hooks and paint were done. Hopefully you can picture how it looks now from the description. Our mud room is basically a hallway between the kitchen and garage. It's hard to get a good picture. We have lockers without doors. Each locker has two coat hooks. Under that is a bench you can sit on. Under the bench there is an opening without a door. We may add a basket or bin there if needed for shoes. Over each locker, there is an opening. We have added doors there for a more finished look. It's the only doors we have. There are shelves above that go up to the ceiling. I had them put a back on the shelves and finish it off like a bookcase so it would look more organized even when stuff is just stacked there. We only have the three lockers so everyone will have to share, but it's an improvement from what we have had in the past.

I'd define "expensive looking" with the details. Basics -everything is completed, no unfinished edges, trim, etc -trim, even if simple, is properly installed -finished end panels (even IKEA offers them) -no obvious patches (like caulking over a 1/2 inch gap at the wall or random trim added to hide something) -adequate lighting (of any kind) "Upgrades" that might add some cost -deeper cabinet over fridge and side panels -paint on the walls that isn't white or very light "builder beige" -matching appliances (of any brand) -flooring that's not beige tile or sheet vinyl -most consider granite expensive, or quartz, but if you pick one of the new laminates make sure you don't have those lines where sheets meet at the edges. There are plenty of edge options now, and even squared off edges can almost disappear -undermount sink -faucet and pulls in whatever finish is big where you are (probably not 3 inch brass look) -if you have an outlet under the sink for the GD, an air switch for the GD. They are like $50 plus a hole in the counter if you are getting a new counter. Getting the hole might cost a lot if someone has to come out just for that. -colors/materials that look cohesive -lots of clear counter space -window treatments that fit in with the design Now, someone interested in more than how it looks might want more. But basically I think you'd want anyone passing through the get the impression that the room is cohesive, bright, not small, and not have anything that stands out as out of place or slapped together.

Thanks so much for the confirmation Irina! Glad to hear I won't have to go through a decontamination process. I didn't get to repot anything else either so my efforts won't be wasted. My pruners are the bypass type, the curved blade that's less likely to squash while cutting. I plan to find a second cutting tool to alternate between though so I'll likely look for a blade type as you suggested. I added grit to prevent the perlite from traveling too much to the top of the cup. I know eventually the peat ends up washed down at bottom as the perlite floats up so I'm hoping the grit will keep the peat and perlite in place. I'll make sure to update on the mix in the future when the AV starts new growth! Thanks so much again!
