The Mud Room

We had first designed the mud room to have a cubical for each of us, but when we got the estimate from the cabinet company we had to regroup.  It was going to be way to expensive.  We decided we could live with a lot less.  I went on line and found a great web site.  ( http://ana-white.com/2012/07/mudroom-locker-and-bench-unit )  Ana White is a young mother who lives in Alaska with her husband and two children.  They literally built their house themselves and she has built practically everything in it.  So, she decided to share her ideas and started a web site.  She has a lot of project plans on her web site.  If you are at all handy and looking for something to build, visit her website.  I built the bench below from her plans.  One caution, the plans are not detail drawings.  She gives basic overall dimensions but you have to figure out the size of each individual piece and how to fit them together.

The back wall is bead board and the wall shelf is from Martha Stewart
