Great potential. Looking forward to seeing the after. I hope you'll be keeping the floor. It looks to be in great shape.

Yeah, we love the brick floor. It's also in our adjacent Hearth Room.

Az... Is that your kitchen floor, the pegged wood floor? Can you tell me what it is? Thanks.

Love the pegged wood floor as well as the brick floor. Beautiful transformation!

Wow love your kitchen and hearth room too.

What's that contraption next to the washer/dryer? Just curious.

ratherbesewing, I think that's a fancy cat litter box if I'm not mistaken.

Really appreciable remodeling of kitchen, downstairs bath, stairs and deck. Good job. For the next project which is the mud room, you can use modern and fashionable furniture to enhance the room.

Marvin55, are you a spammer? Because if you are - and you appear to be - your advertising is not welcome here.

Azwildcats70 - Love the inspiration pic, and it looks like you're well on your way to recreating a very similar look. Your hearth room is swoon-worthy! Well done.

Hi Gang!

Sorry for the delay in responding... Dang day job!;)

Thanks for the compliments on the Hearth Room. I really need to create a blog of all the before/afters.

They are random width peg floors - I have no idea who makes them (they were here when we moved in) but if anyone knows, please tell me. I want them for when we do DH's loft office.

The contraption (love that word) next to the washer/dryer is a plumbed in Cat Genie. :D www.catgenie.com

I have more pix for you all. See below. I'm trying to decide on the paint colors. So the adjacent room is the Hearth room that has Berkshire Beige and Decorators White. I'm thinking BM Decorators White for all trim and wainscoting and BM Sandy Hook Gray for the upper. I also like BM Stone Harbor.

Went to the paint store after work. BM Stone Harbor Matte and BM Decorators White Semi-Gloss it is! Will be painting all this weekend.

Now I need lighting help. Select from those listed below or feel free to suggest alternates. :D

Or this one?

Just love your progress thus far. It looks like it's going to be a wonderful and useful room, with great decor. Love that first light, tho it might be harder to dust. The last one is cool, too. The others all look too normal to me. I like a bit of the unexpected. Can't wait to see the finished mudroom!!

Never posted my finished pix. (amazing what happens when you search your userID)
