Home Series- Breezeway/Mud Room

<div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">In my home it would be very easy to let this space get out of control. It is the space that connects our garage to our main living area. I call it a " breezeway" but some of you, depending on where you live may call it a "mud room". Regardless, it would be easy to let this space get out of control without some structure and organization. With so many guests entering through our breezeway door, I always feel like this room has to be tidy and neat, since this would be the first space they would see.</span></div><div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"> I wanted to take you through the transformation of this space and how it has evolved through the years. </span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2PJR1-0utCFIFh6Bl1lRPSRr7FEwUuyKE9szK-8Py4iHCdZVH-tpzfp05_uORphsuWKyEywzJuwAWMYcpRnkOvI8l3bBNsMwB1ceeysZ9JpH94E3HTpdAv6fQUzvLaDLYfzP8fxSnhEop/s1600/HPIM0344.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="297" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2PJR1-0utCFIFh6Bl1lRPSRr7FEwUuyKE9szK-8Py4iHCdZVH-tpzfp05_uORphsuWKyEywzJuwAWMYcpRnkOvI8l3bBNsMwB1ceeysZ9JpH94E3HTpdAv6fQUzvLaDLYfzP8fxSnhEop/s400/HPIM0344.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">This is when we first moved into our home 9  years ago.

I also thought the darker color on the wainscot  would help to conceal dirt from the traffic of the dogs and the Georgia  clay, but it didn't.  This was also a period before our kids, so there was no real  need to have a system in place, yet.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Then as the family grew so did the needs of the space.
