The Mud Room

In case you were wondering what real estate brokers do on a day like today, a day that brought more snow, a day that added another 10 inches to what we already have? Well, I can tell you!  We sit around breaking down houses, room to room, thinking about which ones would work well for our customers. And, of course, fantasizing about what can be done in each. Which led me to the mud room.  I couldn’t help but think about mud rooms today.  I haven’t noticed many in the houses currently on the market.  It is usually just a row of cubbies off the kitchen where everyone dumps their wet or muddy stuff.  Or all their sports equipment.  It is a critical part of the house so why not make it fabulous as well as utilitarian! (Just want to mention that 15 Shagbark has a gorgeous mudroom with stone floors and plenty of storage for everyone).

Well, yes, this one is a good one for what we are experiencing here in the North East this winter.

Love "back stairs"!

Fabulous “back stairs”!

Sort of a nice way to enter the mud room.
