Surprise Inside
Since I already had the trim paint out to paint the family room, I thought I might as well finish up some unfinished business in our mudroom.
We completed the mudroom "mini makeover" back in June, with the exception of painting inside the little bench seat. That's right, the little seat opens for storage. Too bad it was so gross. No way would I store anything in there!
With a little vacuuming and white paint, however, it wasn't looking so bad anymore.
But I can do better than white paint...
Tell me this isn't a perfect spot for stashing away hats and gloves?
Just in time too! Who would have thought we'd get snow and need hats and gloves so early in the season?!?

Oh I LOVE it!! I love using wallpaper to cover shelves & this is fabulous. :)
Nice! I wish we had a little cubby seat like that to stash hats, gloves, etc etc. Great idea to use up some of the wallpaper in there.
OK somehow I missed your mudroom makeover and I'm about to correct that... but it looks amazing! What a cute idea to put the wallpaper in there.
What a simple, beautiful finishing touch-and a nice way to keep all your winter gear stashed away.
i love surprises! and i love that mudroom! that is the one thing i really wish our house had!
Thats one thing I love about old homes, very cool built ins! Love what you did.
I'm always a fan of surprise cuteness.
Boo to winter though. I'm still holding out...luckily Iowa got the memo and we're still warm. Weird!
Looks great - paint is like magic.
Oh my word! What a happy little storage bench!
Perfect! Love a pop of blue and white with the crisp black and white and the "waste not" mindset of using your left overs is such a great way!

Oh that is just perfect! Wish we had this little area for storage!
Nice project Carrie! What a shame not to use such a perfect little storage space- problem solved.
With that fabulous Chaig Mai in there, I would be peeking in there constantly. Might not be able to get anything done just thinking about it in there! M.
GORGEOUS!!! I love the surprise in the bottom too, awesome!! In CA, we don't get to have fun mudrooms or basements. boo.
So nice! You did such a great job! Love the peek of wallpaper in the bottom that coordinates with your amazing powder room!
That is a perfect little nook. You have to love old houses for all their quirky features.
Love the more-than-ample mudroom and yes, now you are ready for early winter!
That is the cutest little hidey-space! Especially with that fabulous wallpaper lining...LOVE IT! I can't believe you need hats and gloves already, crazy!
How cute is that. I would love to see those flowers every time I grab my winter wear!
Love the wallpaper in there! I would open it up on my way in and out just to smile! And what a perfect little place to store gloves, etc.!
Awesome job!! Beauty AND practicality!
Love these quick hit little projects that make such a difference!
