Open cubbies were placed near the back door in this mudroom / laundry room. The vertical storage is shoe storage and the horizontal storage is great space for baskets and dog storage. A metal sheet pan from a local hardware store was framed for displaying artwork. The bench top is stained to hide wear and tear. The coat hook rail was a DIY project the homeowner did to add a bit of whimsy to the space.

Our Ridgewood Estate project is a new build custom home located on acreage with a lake. It is filled with luxurious materials and family friendly details.

The homeowners had a cluttered 'dog themed' back hall that combined as a laundry area, entrance off the garage and space "to collect all things". The adjacent kitchen and living spaces had an updated transitional feel with modern finishes, traditional styling and elegant decor. The 'back hall' needed some updates. This project included the Laundry / Mudroom area, hall towards the Exercise Room and Craft Room, Full Guest Bathroom and new flooring throughout. The floor tile needed to be a near match to that of the existing kitchen, however we chose a natural stone in lieu of the existing kitchen porcelain with a random pattern in four varying tile sizes. The transitions to the existing flooring was done with rows of smaller mosiac tiles in a tone-on-tone colorway for an easy transition at the door jambs. The polished black galazy granite is on a raised cabinet over the front loading washer and dryer and also in the adjacent bathroom. One Room at a Time, Inc. custom built locker cubbies for the homeowners and their childern with flip-up lids. The kids can 'drop' their belongings as they used to, however neatly concealed within the base cabinet of the lockers. The bench seat provides a great place to put on winter boots, after all it is in Wisconsin. The slow-closing heavy duty hardware on the lids prevent finger-pinching and the noise of a slamming lid. New Kohler fixtures at the Laundry zone function for the utility needs without the unsightly look of a traditional utility washtub. New doors and interior trim finish off the space.

A bench was built in right inside the door into the garage and topped with a fabric cushion. The bench drawers hold shoes and winter gear. The bench is the spot the homeowners use to put their shoes on when coming in from outside. A light stained maple with a grey glaze adds softness and texture to the space.
