Hi Everyone,

I'm so happy to welcome Susi from Design Shuffle today.
She is sharing a post about farmhouse mudrooms.
You will find some great tips and gorgeous photos!

Hi, I'm Susi, a writer at Design Shufflea community for interior designers,
 home decorators and other design professionals.
 I love that I get to visit fantastic design blogs like A Pocketful of Blue
 and share inspiration and interior design ideas.

 This week I'm writing about my favorite farmhouse mudrooms.
Mudrooms are a great room in farmhouses and older homes.
 The perfect place to take off wet boots and hang a coat,
 these utilitarian rooms are often overlooked and under-designed.
 I'm sharing eight of my favorite farmhouse mudrooms to show that
 a little bit of design can go a long way in the mudroom.

 Enjoy!

Country Design
Love the upcycled crates turned into shelves in this farmhouse mudroom.
 The mix of natural woods gives a charming rustic feeling to the room.

  Country Design 
 Batten and board molding give this farmhouse mudroom architectural interest.
 Love the stone floor that can stand up to high traffic and muddy paws.


  Country Design 
 Perhaps it is the Aussie that gives this farmhouse mudroom so much charm,
 but I love all the built-in storage. 
 Brick floors add an old farmhouse charm, as do the oversize hooks on the wall.


  Country Design 
 Traditional interior design elements, like a glass lantern and oriental style rug,
 give this farmhouse mudroom tons of elegant style.
 An indoor/outdoor rug is a great idea for high traffic areas like mudrooms.


  Country Design 
 River rocks make for an interesting floor in this farmhouse mudroom. 
I love the drab green-gray paint. Cubbies for shoes keep them out of the way.


  Country Design 
 A row of pegs under a shelf provides plenty of space to hang coats and scarves
 while drawers under the bench can store smaller objects. 
Love the mix of the wallpaper pattern, bench fabric, pillow, and area rug.


  Country Design
Here, you will find lots of decorating ideas packed into one tiny space.
 Wainscoting and a picture ledge create a nice architectural detail in this small mudroom.
 Pegs for hats, bags and jackets are simple yet effective storage. Stripes add pattern and color to the space.


  Country Design  
Absolutely love the yellow color on the custom built-in wall unit in this farmhouse mudroom.
 The curves add interesting lines and shape. So charming!

 Thanks Susi for sharing your favorite Farmhouse Mudrooms with A Pocketful of Blue this week!

Blue Kitchen Cabinets 2017

I have done a couple posts on kitchens with blue cabinetry in the past, after all it is my favorite color. It has been awhile though, so today I have rounded up some more  amazing kitchens with cottage style that also incorporate blue in  the design. source The kitchen above and the one below have white upper cabinets and soft shades of blue on the lower ones. This is a nice way to use blue without going overboard or ending up with something that you would get tired of quickly. source source Finding the right shade of blue would be key and using a lot of white and wood tones along with it creates a beautiful and timeless look. source source Isn't the kitchen above just so very unique? It has sort of a french country feeling but in an updated way. Wish there was a better picture of the script that's on the wall  on the right. source This kitchen is from Remodelondo la Casa and I've always thought the w

AFFORDABLE WALL DECOR

Hi Everyone, One of the things I find the most difficult about decorating is finding wall decor that I like and is also affordable. That is one of the main things that I am always on the hunt for and sometimes I have to come up with some creative ideas. Just yesterday, I found this beautiful image of a  white hydrangea at The Graphics Fairy . The Graphics Fairy I printed it out in a size that would fit in a frame that  I already had.  I think it looks so pretty in the simple white frame. I'm probably going to hang it in our bedroom. I'm making a few small changes in there and I will show you when it's completed. This star is actually from the garden section of our local Meijer store.  It was originally silver metal and I spray painted it white. I have seen a lot of people decorate with bread boards. This one fit perfectly in the narrow space between my  cabinet and window and I love the warmth of the wood.  I love th

Family Room Reveal

Hello Everyone! I've been meaning to post about our updated family room for a very long time and I'm  finally doing it - yeah!! I had been ready to replace our brown leather furniture for a while and when a new Ikea opened very close to us last summer, I jumped at the chance to take a good look at their slipcovered furniture. Originally the plan was to buy another sofa and loveseat like we had but when I  saw the Ektorp sectional on the showroom floor at Ikea, I was sold.   It just seemed so cozy and I could really envision it in our family room. As you can see, we purchased the sectional with the white slipcover. You just can't beat the prices at Ikea and the quality is definitely good enough for us. I'm at a point where I don't want to buy expensive furniture that I feel like I have to keep forever.   We even had the sofa delivered and they took away the old sofa and loveseat  for a very small fee. We purchased this dre
