Before and After - Mudroom Makeover

This mudroom is part of a multi-room makeover, which included a kitchen, mudroom and two bathrooms. The mudroom was previously an open space, which served as a hangout for the family dog. The new space is now beautifully functional with plenty of storage for the family, while still allowing plenty of room for the fur baby to have a new dog bed!
The cabinetry is a gray-green, which carries over from the kitchen island color. The flooring was updated from an old peach square tile to a gorgeous 12x24" deep charcoal gray tile.
Let us know what you think.

Kitchen mini-makeover DIY (Before and After)
Comments (34)Nosoccermom, I will give you a couple of tips from my limited experience. Make sure you spend the time to fill holes and dings with wood putty before painting. Each little blemish will show up much more after painting than in the original wood appearance. You need a really good paint brush - my favorite is the Purdy Clear Cut. I don't know why I just liked it in my hand. Also, I used a small fine roller from Seven paints - I did not like how a sponge roller looked. After a year +, the upper cabs still look like new but the lowers definitely have little dings that need to be touched up. So make sure you keep some extra paint! We used a clear silicone(?) on our seeded glass inserts. Hope this helps a little. If it seems daunting - it is daunting. This was a big project IMO. :) Here is a link that might be useful: this old house - how to paint your cabinets...See MoreBudget laundry room makeover - Before and After pics
Comments (37)Reader, the prints in the bathroom are called Serengeti I and II by Tandi Venter. The artist is from South Africa I believe. DH and I had the opportunity to go on a safari in SA with our church group a few years ago, and although these are just common art posters, they make me think of our personal trip. I bought the prints on eBay and made the frames out of door casing trim. They are fantastic posters, but the odd size made buying stock frames impossible (and custom was more than I wanted to spend ;-) Lynn, thanks so much for the kind words. I'm glad you commented on the cabinet color; I haven't seen many painted to blend with the walls, so I wasn't sure of the reception it would get. Those original cabinets are extremely sturdy and well built but didn't have anything going for them in the looks department. I wanted to downplay their appearance and size but maximize their function. It didn't hurt that using all one color allowed me to just spray on the paint willy-nilly, either!...See Morefurniture makeover before & after pic heavy!! do more with less

2 months ago@mmc429 Thanks for asking! There is actually a heating vent in the base cabinetry, below the storage drawer, but our photographer edited it out of a couple of photos. I should have used the ones showing the vent, as shown below. I believe there is also heat below the bench on the left side.
