Cottage Mudroom with Handpainted Flooring

Cottage Mudroom Lockers & Bench

We took our unfinished breezeway and transformed it into useable space: a mudroom for our family of five! We used the existing footprint but removed three doors, a window, and opened up the space to our home with a doorway. We added a new wood door leading to the exterior, drywalled the space, and added heat and electrical. We added custom lockers, this bench area with extra storage, and a Command Center.

Cottage Mudroom Custom Lockers

We created six custom lockers (one for each family member and one for our new pup!). Each locker has open space at the bottom (basket for shoes) and at the top (off-season gear). Inside each locker is a bench, charging station, and hooks. The puppy's lockers has all of his gear and food in it! We created arched openings and added trim on the locker sides to create a more high-end look.

Mudroom Command Center

We created a Command Center in the corner! It has mailboxes for everyone, a bulletin board, device charging station, mail center, and homework drop area. In the cabinets are three pull-out recycle bins and mail/school supplies.

Hand Painted Concrete Floor

To save money we kept the existing concrete floors! I hand painted them in a floral design using porch paint and sealing with four coats of clear epoxy. The whole thing cost only $80 of materials (and 20 hours of my time)!

Before: Breezeway

The existing space was an unfinished, unheated breezeway that was part of the garage. We kept the existing footprint, but removed three doors and a window to allow for wall storage space. We spent $15,000 on the entire remodel.

Gorgeous! So glad you painted the rest of the room white to show off your beautiful floor. Did you use a stencil or is it all freehand?
