Mudroom Paint

I last left the mudroom after installing the cabinets.

We got the cabinets in minus the bench seat.  I started painting it last week then ran out of paint.  I thought there was enough left over but there was not. 

Anyway here is where we started:

 Here is where I left it....

And here is where I'm at now with it:

 The things in the sink are the air filters for Hubby's truck.  He cleaned them then sprayed them and just left them there.  I think he needs to put the one in his truck and put the other away!

I still at some point want to refinish that floor, install a small bench and put bead board up for the backsplash in there.


That is all for now.  Oh I don't know if I ever mentioned the closet doors.  They are the primed 6 panel doors.  I used the java gel on them to match the rest of the doors.  They turned out great!  All of our other interior doors are oak but since this one isn't near another door I didn't think it mattered.  And it saved us a ton of money getting these over oak 6 panel bifolds!

Budget Mudroom

Our house was built in 1989.  We've replaced all the sinks and shut off valves in the house except for in the mudroom and laundry room. 

We found a cabinet on clearance for $40 at Lowe's.  It was discounted due to door damage.  The door damage happened to be 2 small red scuffs that I cleaned off with a Mr. Clean magic eraser.  We brought the cabinet home and hubby said he'd work on the sink in a few weeks.  Well the sink didn't want to wait the shut off valves started  leaking a week later!  So that led to us replacing the sink at 9pm at night.

Before:

The sink was the one we were originally going to use for our kitchen. It came from Lowe's 5 almost 6  years ago. Then hubby thought we should use an under mount sink and I'm so glad we did.  The counter top was discounted from Lowe's as was the faucet.

Now:

The upper cabinet came from Habitat Restore for under $10.  I used spray primer for plastic on the doors since they are thermofoil.  Then spray painted them white.  They had yellowed.   I do plan to add some trim to the cabinet.

Under the window I want to put a bench with baskets under it.

On the other wall I hung another cabinet I found at Habitat Restore for $10.  I did the same to the door because it had yellowed.  I added a 1/4" piece of plywood painted white to the side and some trim.

Now:

Now to just paint the walls, add the rest of the trim, put a bench in and add some bifold doors for the closet and it will be done.
