I wish I had a mud room

When we bought our second home just over a year ago, one of the things on my list of wants was a mud room.
I wanted a space for the kids to be able to drop their backpacks, take off their shoes and hang their coats.

Well as The Rolling Stones say, "You Can't Always Get What You Want".

But a girl can still dream can't she?
So here are some of my favorite mud rooms.

Shelter Interior DesignI love those barn doors and that amazing ceiling

Some of those are bigger than my whole home! No--REALLY! I live in a 5th wheel! When we decide that we have traveled enough, I really would like a mud room and you picked some really wonderful ones!

When my girls were small we had a mud room in our past house, to the left of the kitchen entrance; it was a big house, it had it all! Now, no kids and we have down sized to a not small apartment pent house, but no two floors anymore and we love it! Your mud room features are fabulous! I bet you can make one though, houses have that gift whereas apartments don't!
Hugs,
FABBY

Love all your mud room inspiration. I've never had a wonderful mud room, but would have loved one when my kids were little.

After scrolling through these, Jon and I are thinking of knocking down our whole house and just living in a mud room! In the meantime, we're going to start a savings jar for the Restoration Hardware lockers. DROOOOOOL!
