I would like to layer a sisal rug under this rug one day as it’s looking a little too small in this space right now. I did not hesitate at all with this rug (unlike my hallway rug). Like the rest of my house I knew there would be blue in this room regardless. It all started with my rug-that was my jumping off point. Now when you walk through my front door you see this as our home office and not that hot mess up there. I finally just said screw it and did the easiest and most cost efficient option I could think of and it turned out pretty well…imagine that. For one whole year my mind was everywhere and this room just sat looking like a storage room. I also wanted this room to be a dedicated room for the kids to do their homework as well as an home office space for me. So many ideas, however…I am not a carpenter and I knew that most of those ideas would involve blood. So for one year I pinned so many ideas on Pinterest… from making a closet to house the washer and dryer, to barn doors, to making a cabinet for just the washer and dryer, to hanging curtains from the ceiling to hide the washer and dryer. With three kids, a room dedicated to just mud is heavenly. I really had no other budget friendly options and hated the idea of taking up more space in the mud room. There was no way our washer and dryer was going to fit in the mudroom without some light demo work so we set up our washer and dryer in that front room. We ended up donating the extra small washer and dryer set. Not my ideal location for a washer and dryer. This room was intended to be an office and has pretty french doors leading to it. I am assuming to get more space in the mudroom the previous owners also had installed a washer and dryer hookup in the room next to the mudroom and at one point had their washer and dryer in there. (Side note, I painted the mud room floor this past summer and used one of those cabinets on the wall and turned it into a storage bench for the mudroom as well). The mudroom is not a huge room to begin with and even with the smallest stackable washer and dryer known to man in there it was feeling extra tight. When we moved into this house a year ago the previous owners had left their 15 year old teeny tiny stackable washer and dryer set in the mudroom. And for a few months I justified this hot mess with the “we just moved in” excuse but it’s been a year and that excuse is becoming kind of pathetic. It was a hot mess and becoming our storage room which wasn’t good since this is one of the first rooms you see when you walk through my front door. Let’s back up and remember what this room looked like before shall we? Now, this my friends is real life.
