I was always fond of mudrooms. My house did not have one so we decided to turn the hall that leads to my side door into our mudroom. Come on in and let me show you what we did.... 
We had a carpenter install beadboard on all walls. I love the way the beadboard gives everything a nice clean look. My inspiration for this room was an cottage garden. This door leads to my garden which hopefully one day soon will be my cottage garden. 
We had a custom shelf built and installed glass flower knobs. It took me forever to find the right knobs and I would not settle for anything that did not have a garden feel to it. I selected Benjamin Moore Glade Green for the walls and shelf. 
I have a thing about plain doors. I find them too boring. I need some detail. I love Cath Kidston and decided on using wallpaper for the panels. 
My sister gave me this great old print for Christmas and I was just waiting for the perfect place to put it. The print has a little girl holding a cat with the caption "Taking the wanderer home". The crazy thing is it looks just like me as a child and my cat now. The print is very special and I love that I see it now every day. 
We decided to beadboard both walls going into the basement since eventually our entire basement will be done over.
Here is how it looked before.....  
I hated the way this shelf always looked so messy. 
Here is the room in progress...
