Adding a mudroom to our garage

In our previous home, we didn't have a nice laundry room. It was tiny and stuck in our master bedroom. To help sell our home, we decided to ad a laundry/mudroom inside our two car garage. ...»
It led into our kitchen. We also had a two car detached garage, so there was still plenty of room to park our cars.

We built a small room to hold our washer and dryer, and my husband also built a custom shoe storage bench and coat hangers. I LOVED the shoe storage bench. My four boys would lift up the bench seat and put their shoes in their "box." Best thing we ever did! Hope to do the same thing in our new house some day!

Dresser turned Vanity

We bought an antique dresser at a thrift shop for $50. We decided to turn it into a vanity for our master bath. I painted the dresser and my husband added a sink and faucet.

    I don't like painted brick as a rule, but mine is definitely uglier than hers was!
