Mudroom and Patio
Porch turned functional mud room
A stately home in the Shaw Neighborhood needed a space to hang jackets and drop backpacks after a busy day. An existing porch gave a great footprint to redesign a more functional area for the family that allotted them space to store their items and remove shoes in a climate-controlled location before walking into the main living spaces of the home. Two large windows and a full-view door flood the space with natural light during the day and at night recessed LED lights and a modern sconce illuminate the new mudroom. The brick wall was painted white and light colors adorned the surfaces to help bounce light around the room. Outside the mudroom’s finishes were closely matched to the existing home for a comprehensive look and a new composite deck was built that not only looks great; but, minimizes maintenance needed. The patio and yard were revamped by leveling out the areas to avoid any water pools when it rains and the end result is a beautiful patio and yard for entertaining guests.
