The user-friendly mudroom with stylish storage solutions and gray-brown vertical shiplap walls that visually makes the space feel taller includes a Scandinavian-inspired whitewashed wood floor with creamy hues.

The mudroom’s charming wood bench with curved arms that resembles a reclaimed church pew adds character to the space. The rustic bench with a weathered barley finish offers a spot for taking boots and shoes off and on before entering and exiting the main living areas of this extensively remodeled urban home.

Build manager Dan Faires found the vintage sign that sits above the bench from a local sheet metal company that went out of business in 1931. The eye-catching sign with a bold mustard-colored background and custom frame decorates the wall and adds local flavor. A fun black ceramic boots-shaped umbrella stand with a glossy finish offers a way to keep wet umbrellas out of the home’s main living spaces.

A white wall rack includes a ledge on top for decorative accessories, with hooks below for keeping items like a cozy flap hat and a sturdy black sling bag easily accessible.
