The New Traditional

The large mud room on the way to out to the garage acts as the perfect dropping station for this busy family’s lifestyle and can be nicely hidden when necessary with a secret pocket door. Walls trimmed in vertical floor to ceiling planking and painted in a dark grey against the beautiful white trim of the cubbies make a casual and subdued atmosphere. Everything but formal, we chose old cast iron wall sconces and matching ceiling fixtures replicating an old barn style. The floors were carefully planned with a light grey tile, cut into 2 inch by 18” pieces and laid in a herringbone design adding so much character and design to this small, yet memorable room.
