It’s been a while since I’ve given a house update, but don’t worry – we’ve been working! And let’s be honest – it’s the hubby who does the brunt of the work around here. Our latest project (which was supposed to be a “weekend project” but was more like a “month project”) is just about complete. We have this little mudroom that the previous owners added off the kitchen. It’s our main way in and out of the house, and also houses our laundry. I’ll let the pictures do the talking, then I’ll share more details of everything we did…

My hand hubby even replaced the screen door and security door, staining them by hand. Nice, huh?

While I don’t have a great before photo of the old sink, here’s the pretty new utility sink and cabinet the hubster installed.

So in total, here are all the updates we did:

• Leveled the floor (because it wasn’t before)
• Tiled the floor to match the kitchen
• Tore out the old sink, mirror, and shelving unit
• Patched some major holes in the walls
• Painted the walls and trim
• Stained and installed screen door and interior door (and also painted our side porch grey)
• Installed a new shelf, sink, and cabinet
• Installed blinds on the window

Phew! Not a weekend project. But I love it now, and plan to add a few more finishing touches as far as decor, like a table under the window and some other little touches. What do you think? Fun, right?
